[keepitlow]

On my phone so can't check out the link but USDM front bars are different to ours so it might not fit?

+1 on that.. I read on another forum the bumper between USDM SI and JDM EP3R is different..

Would be better to spend a little more and buy OEM, fitting wise will be alot more easier.. less fiddling around

Hmm. The Honda original parts got back to me and they said they don't have the fog brackets anymore. It's like discontinued.

I seeee : (

might be worth calling Hon Toy or Hon Bits to see if they have spares Kev...

Indeed they are different and but to fit it u need to check the radiator.

Hm. I will try Hon Toy or Hon Bits but not getting my hopes up.

If I cant get those fogs I was thinking might get some Philips 8 DRL's instead.

Also thinking of getting those FL projectors as well from the marketplace listed by Philip Lee here. Can I reuse my ballast and bulbs? or do I need to replace the whole thing?

Thanks

Hi Kev,

I posted this a while ago.. it seems the headlight bulb is different for Pre-FL and FL Head lamps, I would guess you need to replace the whole thing

Cheers Danny. I may have missed your post previously. Are your bulbs 8000K on your FL ep3?

[spookz]

My 03 EP3 seems to use T20 bulbs for the front indicators.

lol Kev.. I have no idea to be honest, I would say its close to 4000k as its factory spec!

8000k will become a bit purple in colour and less light on the road..

Here's a pic I took before when I changed some bulbs on my car for your reference in temperature colour.

Dip Bulb - Factory 4300k
High Bulb - 2500k
Fog Bulb - 2500k
Parkers - MTEC led 6000k

you can see the parker is slightly blue already than the pure white of main bulb..

Hey Fellas,

I see you guys are talking about bulbs.. my front bulb is gone on my EP3.
I live near baulkham hills and need a bulb just stock or any suggestions for newer ones I'll buy a pair.
does anyone know where in sydney they sell them?
