EmZvr Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Recently one of my fog lights died. Maybe it's just the bulb but the bolts are seised really bad.. Also it's oxidised at the bottom and soon it will start to look really bad. So I want an advice, what to do ?1) Buy one new fog light and pray for it to last longer..2) Sell the working one and retrofit aftermarket fogs like Hella Micro DE with HIDs for example. (Any other options ?)3) Buy the OEM big "Subaru style" fogs but I fear they're impossible to be found4) Ditch the fog lights and buy 4100K bulbs to replace my current 5000K which are very bad in rain/fog.

Dexter Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I would buy used ones. For example at the moment there are many M-civics being broken for spares in Lithuania and are willing to ship all over europe, just search ebay or use this link to start with: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=mb6+breaking+lithuania&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xmb6+breaking.TRS0&_nkw=mb6+breaking&_sacat=0 Hope that helps.

Nairnster Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I am taking mine out all together, as my electrical knowledge/skill is rivalled by a slice of toast. They do actually work, but it looks like despite the lamin-x coating, they have still cracked, and it looks like the laminx has then scorched. Are they just exceptionally fragile lenses on these? Have had other cars with fogs, and not ever cracked one. CAF feeds are replacing mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I've never seen the big OEM ones for sale, ever! I my watch list but sold 2 weeks ago :eek: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Honda-Civic-5-MB6-MC2-VTi-fog-light-setup-V-tec-VTi-S-B18-/221237169044?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&nma=true&si=0l4lOsLw6t3DMLly0Ns5YhPD8%252BI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairnster Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Not cheap, proper job though. For the amount I actually use them, would never spend that amount on a set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmZvr Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Just called one of largest place for breaking Honda's here and was told that they recently sold a set I still don't know what I'll do. The big ones look a lot better but I doubt they'll last long too and if they broke I'll have to wait years to find new ones.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
