So Im sick of my cheap fog lights that keep failing on me. I need new fog lights for the winter and can you guys give me suggestions of some legit fog lights? Hows passwordjdm? They look legit but its a little pricey, please give me some suggestions, any help will be appreciated.

As far as research goes, anyone could google "civic fog lights" but can anyone reccommend fog lights from your past experiences?

Ebay is your best bet. PwJDM look aftermarket.

After, I washed my car the first time, they turned on by themselves while the car was OFF. Came back on a couple days later. 2nd time I washed my car, they never came back on again lol.

Sounds like a wiring problem. The water probably shorted something out

Get OEM. I've had my OEM set for over 6 years and I've never had a single issue with them.

I got my set from www.handaaccessories.com for around $140 shipped.

i don't think its going to matter what fogs you get if you don't wire them correctly and or protect them from the environment.

Should I just buy a whole new set? I just took them apart and inspected every detail but looks like its gone forever.

Just cause it looks good visually don't mean s**t when it comes to electronics. You ever take a cellphone apart after dropping it in water? Everything looks fine to the untrained eye but yet it still don't work. Water damage is funny like that.

I recommend going OEM or top of line after market. When wiring them up make sure the wires are as far away from water as possible and wrap the wire in wire loom. Now for the lights them selfs make sure there sealed 100% from the elements.

I drive my car every year all year through all weather whether it's a complete torrential downpour or blizzard. I haven't touched my fog lights since I've installed them (except when I changed bulbs and re-wired them to stay on with high beams). OEM > *
