here is a DIY for the guys wanting to put fog lights on their Chuki and want to mount it in the vents... here is how i did mine

total time : 30 mins - 1 hour

1-- Items needed:a) Fog lightsb) Fog light harness <better looking install>c)Chuki Bumper Grillsd) Cutting stuff < like razors and scissors>e) marker <sharpie>

oh and a beer or two...

2-- placement of foglights:a) Get the chuki bumper grill and the fog lightsb) find a location of where you want to mount it < be sure that you have a place to bolt it down too>c) get your marker and mark an outline of the fog onto your grill... <this is where you will cut out>d)make sure you give your self some space too

3-- THE CUT:a) this is simple cut takes some time to make it look rightb) get your cutting utensil and start hacking awayc) start with small cuts and keep test fitting until it is snug fit

after your done it should fit something like this...

here it is i bolted along the sides of the vents.. hope the picture helps

well after your done with all that just follow the easy instructions that came with your set of fogs and you should be set

HERE IS HOW IT LOOKS LIKE NOW:

what i see when:for all of you who want to know the diagram here it is:



good luck... I assume no responsiblity of your mod... this is simply a guide to how i did mine.. oh and

*ok FIXED* HOPEFULLY for GOOD...sorry for the wait

cool write-up. thats how i wired my drl's. you should probably toss in a fuse somewhere in there just to be safe.

Well, like I said, I have no problem hosting them. I just now took some pictures off my server that I have been hosting for close to 3 years for a for sale thread on Honda-Tech. I totally forgot they were even on there. Either way, I'm down if you're willing to send them.

I just bought those exact fogs from the auto parts store today. The only thing about the way you put the lights in the grilles are that the lights are now sitting on their sides. Does it affect the way the lights show on the road?

weird: i don't see an inline fuse or 2

(already mentioned by a Niconaut)

& a relay; cause u don't want to run that high current thru the switch... most aftermarket kits i've seen comes w/ a relay... u should follow it.

nice cutouts to the grilles; i've seen people mount them behind the grilles for a cleaner look as well...
