There is a huge write up in the DIY section, the Koup DIY has no pics anymore but there is also a Sedan version of the DIY and it has pics in it.
HELP!!Fog light install
I have an EX sedan therefore i do not have Fogs. I just ordered the whole set off of sharkracing.com. Has anyone already did this? Can anyone lead me to a good thread with pictures. I went to a really good one, really in depth but no pictures
They'll be here end January, if i could get a head start and a feel of things i would feel more comfortable
Thank you

Maybe put projectors in the fogs with the HIDs
Alright, about two weeks ago I ordered OEM fog set (with light switch stalk) from Sharkracing.com
PICTURE 1
Notice they DO NOT come with cover "plates"
i did not get total picture coverage of this DIY but I do have a few.
First part was headlight and front bumper removal (self explanatory)
Pop out old fog "inserts" (3 screws)
Then due to no new plates we then cut it with a box cutter outlining the fog housing
PICTURE 2
(note)for me this is just temporary until I get ACTUAL fog plates
just a random DURING picture

These will cost you about $45.
Next was the STALK: In easy words..
1. disconnect battery
2. remove 2 Torx T-30 screws on back side (left and right) of wheel for air bag removal( 2 prongs on the back orange and black YOU CAN USE A KNIFE TO WEDGE IT OFF)
3. Remove steering wheel nut
4. Remove Steering wheel using puller
5. remove back steering wheel cover
I then laid the wire harness to its respective locations (all wires are labeled to there location)
speaking of which: one of the lines will need to run from the new stalk thru the firewall to connect to female connector on the harness.
I used this picture for an example
PICTURE 9
re-install steering wheel when stalk is installed and all wires are routed.
Final check all wires are connected
and that's pretty much it after re-installing bumper and headlights
All said and done about a 3 and 1/2 hours at most with smoke breaks *tehe* with one person cutting plates for fogs and 2 people working the wires and wheel
