Here's the best and cheapest way to make it look like OEM, from my own DIY.

Dude u fail :thumbdown: ur poor mans rear fog light is cut and pasted from another website that I've seen when I was doing reserch.... and I'm not poor I actually bought a real JDM EK9 rear fog light....

OH RLY?

- Mon Mar 22, 2010 9:45 pm #182946 Not a chance. That's all my original work. I'd like to see this other website that plagiarized my work, though.

Regardless - if you have a 6th Gen, the principle is the same. The rear fog is integrated into the existing tail lamp. Anything mounted in your bumper or elsewhere is aftermarket. Hopefully you've done your research. Uh, unless you're happy with aftermarket parts and holes in your bumper.

Sorry, I just don't think you've done your homework very well.

This took me mere nanoseconds to find using Google: Correct location for EDM rear fog....EK

I'm sorry if you spent your money on a genuine Honda item, but it is NOT OEM equipment for the 6th Gen, regardless of what that site says, though I understand how you would have been mislead. The rear fog advertised there is for a 4th Gen Civic (and the 94-01 Integra). For them to state that it is also for a 6th Gen is disingenuous.

The EDM rear fog light was on every Civic sold in Europe. Let me know if you see any like that on Auto Trader UK.

Examples:
http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=1104961236 - Nope
http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=1104263517 - Sorry
http://pictures2.autotrader.co.uk/imgser-uk/servlet/media?id=1098263210 - Still nothing

Pppfffffffff it says it right there if u open ur eyes it says EK9(type r if u didn't know what EK9 stands for) buddy.... and it is an origanal honda part....but I never said it was on a delorship line-up.... for example the 1999-2000 civic si came wit an opitional rear lip RARE BTW but u never see them on the car off the lot.... u gotta buy it opitonal....

Don't test myh honda ganster, and if I recall the question was how the fuck do u hook it up not let's test the posters honda knowledge....

- Tue Mar 23, 2010 2:28 am #183021 Well, your knowledge is obviously lacking, so let this be a learning moment for you. I'm not testing you, I'm trying to prevent you from cutting up your bumper to put in parts that were never meant for your car.

The jdmland.com site is FALSE. The part you have is made by Honda but it is not meant for an EK9, an EK4 or any EK or any EJ for that matter -- as in, no 6th Gen Civics. It is meant for other Honda vehicles (as I mentioned) but NOT the 6th Gen Civic.

It is not a JDM OPTIONAL part, and it does not appear anywhere in the JDM 6th Gen Honda Access accessories catalogue.

The ONLY place rear foglights are installed is in the driver's side tail lamp. The EDM parts catalogue says this, the EDM Helms Service Manual says this, and any European EK owner will tell you this. Explain to me how these are wrong? If you believe anything different, it is because you are not well-informed.
