DC2 DB8 DC5 DC5 foglamps

[ImportR]

Can a DC5 owner do a favour for me please?

Just measure the front fog lamps; width across, and height. In centimetres.

I'm trying to establish if DC5 fogs can replace my OE fogs in my EP3 (2005). Don't fancy paying over £90 each for the Honda replacements. :evil:

thanks

If you mean fronts, there's no such thing. The two holes at the front are for air flow to the brakes. If a DC5 has fog lights on the front then a) it's a custom job and b) they're removing the cooling air for the brakes that Honda put on the car.

on eBay (for example) there's numerous firms selling DC5 fog kits - for the USDM DC5's.

I dont know whether they're a mod or a USDM option, but the sales blurb mentions these kits as a pattern copy of the original fogs. So I take it that no-one in the UK with a JDM DC5 has fog lights then, unless they are an aftermarket mod?

Well the DC5 Type R has never had fogs on the front of it, the only ones I've seen are aftermarket. I don't know if the Acura RSX has them as an option or not. In order to get them to fit a DC5 you'd have to remove the air ducts and find a way of mounting the lights. It looks silly on the DC5 IMO and the standard HIDs are up to the job of giving visibility in the fog.

ok fair enough then. Thanks for the info
