i remember reading the post from the old forum about foglights. It was a damn good post and really informative. Hopefully the person who posted that still has the info and could repost it.

I do remember saying the ebay fog fitment wasn't bad, but the quality of switches were a little suspect. Someone did say you could get some RSX switches though

so the EBAY fogs are imitations correct? i seen so many at really good prices, but hesitant on purchases though...

i got the ebay fogs and they are fine for me. no fitment issues unless its the fog light button. its too big so im getting a rsx one. heres a pic. dont mind the nasty wheel gap. that was before my drop.

How to install...

If that doesnt do it...

Scroll down to the fog lights and download the document on how to install.

I had no problem installing. A dremel and a steady hand is what you need when cutting the inserts on the front bumper. I got the ebay fog light kit. Fits well but the switch just sucks @$$. Hope this helps ^_^

OH! and if you want the rsx switch cause the ebay switch sucks @$$, Here ya go

I actually just picked up the oem fog light switch for the EP3 from Honda. Heres the part number: 08V31-S5T-61035
I think I payed around $30

I got mine from tunerimage.com. The quality is good and the install wasn't that bad.

someone posted the oem install instructions before the database meltdown, after reading through it it doesn't seem that difficult, just plug a few things in, run some wires, the only part i dont like is having to cut the front plastic for the fog lights but eh what are you gonna do..

I installed the ebay lights on my white ep3 recently and it wasn't that bad. The worst part is trying to cut the plastic w/o having the honda template to follow. But you can wing it.

Also the light switch had bad fitment and the relay was cheap. I ended up burning out the switch and having to replace the relay with a good relay from Radio Shack. Might as well splurge on an OEM foglight switch or just go buy a cheap illuminated 2 way switch from autozone.
