hey guys...i have a quick question. i have the JDM kit on my and i was wondering, this probably means that i have to get the JDM foglights as well, right?

ive know already that the OEM foglights wont fit into the JDM kit...

yes you can. i believe a few members have. it requires a lot of cutting/trimming of the bumper and the fog shrouds.

its been done before..i dont see why it wouldnt hurt to try
if you mess up you can just buy an ebay kit for ~$30 and try again

just carefully shave the housing and youll be set

its not that hard to cut out the holes for the fog lights...just be patient and concentrate. when i did mine i drilled 3 holes and used a knife to cut from hole to hole (i was way to scared to take a dremel to the bumper)

patience will be the key virtue in all this

i suppose i should worry about getting the lights to work before i get them to fit.. lol

EDIT; but even so, i'm not even too sure what it is im cutting out and whats staying. all these brackets and tabs and no instructions leave me pretty confused.

Yup they are very expensive, i never said they were cheap. There is no diy for a retro fit, but it just consists of trimming the foglight shrouds until it fits, then finding a way to mount it. Just put in the time if you dont want to put in the money
