pretty much what the tittle say i was curios is it posible to install this ones >SpyerLight<
first ones spyder brand on the webpage.
can i mount them outside center hole of the bumper or will they be aiming way to far off to the side because of the bumper.
would it be easier to put them in the center hole of the bumper?
or would it be easier just to buy a set like this for the inside hole
>EbayLight1< or >EbayLight<
Thanks is advance!

get the 96-98 ones. u can get round OR square ones. and those can be clear OR white. so u definitely have options. i'd say do it right and don't half-ass it.

All OEM and OEM style foglights for '96-'00 Civics use H3 bulbs.

DEPO foglights on '96-'98 Civics often have wiring and grounding issues. If one went out, try kicking it. Seriously. This is what worked for my old set. I'm not the only one who had this problem, but I seemed to have the worst leak I've ever heard of (close to an inch of water would fill into the bottom of the light and blow the bulb).

X2 My 99-00 have the same problem bad ground because of water. Fixed the ground worked great. Then two days later the bulb blew.

Mine always had a bad ground. From the first week I put them on. I just figure I didn't notice it before that. Took them off, messed around. Tried to get them to work. Nothing worked. I coated the edge of the lens with clear RTV. Still leaked. Put more on. Still leaked. Finally tossed them.

Hope I dont have to do this. But if thats what it comes down to I guess I will. Or I will just beg the old lady in town to trade me her nice oem ones for mine. :lol:
