wouldn't it be more effective to fabricate a custom mount? gluing the lights down to the bumper will not allow you to aim the foglights.

also, how bright are these lights in comparison to the headlights?

Actually, the lamps have an adjuster screw for aiming, so that's not an issue. Plus a custom mount would make the job far more complicated, and I was looking to do it a way that others could do with having to spend a lot of additional money for custom work.

As my post noted, I haven't finished wiring them yet, so I can't say how bright they are.

I'm going to log off now and go finish the wiring job. I'd like to test them tonight.

Rick; Nice work! Of course you know that the work you have done here will show up on the 2003's once Honda gets a glimpse of this thread.

I like to think that Honda gets a few good ideas from this board now and then

I just spent a few hours trying to do the rest of the wiring. Basically, I'm wiring the dashboard switch, which send 12 volts to the low amp side of the relay and triggers on the high amp side -- the direct power to the lights from the battery.

Of course I switched on and nothing happened. So I'm quitting for the day. It's getting dark, I'm getting tired, and tomorrow is another day. I've already accomplished more than I expected on this little task today, so it's time to quit, before I cross some wires and burn the whole thing up.

Rick, whats the part number on those fog lamps?

Does the part number have an "S0X" in it?
