So, I want fog lights. because I literally live in a place with fog, and I have crappy night vision. I have a basic 1999 CRV AWD.
The bumper conversions to the Japanese model that includes them costs over 1k on ebay now - that's crazy. Standard bumper replacements are like $80 on Amazon. Why is someone not just cutting holes in these and reselling them for $500?
The OEM USA bumper that I have has weird features (two of the holes have slot like things) that make it look like it's made for fog lights, and I see pics showing people putting lights in those little holes, but apparently this was not OEM design at all, OEM in USA they were put on top of the bumper (or a bull bar?) - and I see nowhere to get that bumper, which is exact same as USA style but I guess with holes on top for buggy style fog lights. The bull bar thing seems like it covers up the license plate, which would not fly here, but it's hard to tell if it's really an oem bull bar...
Searching on here - I love the site but the search feature isn't great - I get people dropping thousands on oem or people doing made up aftermarket stuff with little comparative review or how-to's.
I'm not cutting holes in my bumper, and I'm not dropping 2k on it. Even though not OEM, putting them in the little existing holes seems the least disruptive - where is the diy on this? How big of lights? What mounts? Which brand of lights?
I guess I'm just looking for suggestions that are for a basic setup that is neither ordering specialized bumpers off of ebay or rando duct tape fogs off of Amazon. Thanks ahead of time.
