Default Fog Lights

This is a pretty simple question to answer but i just want to be sure...i have an ebay CAI installed on my '99 civic and i was wondering if the fog lights would interfere with the intake. Basically, would they touch at all?

Also, should i get a set from Password JDM or just ebay generic off of K2Motor?

Thanks!

I was looking to get some oem foglights. Ebay has some for about $140 including shipping.

My question is, do people leave the housings silver or do they paint them to match or paint them black?

they are actually gunmetal color i left mine original to basically show that they are OEM.

but its really your choice if you want to paint them or not.

oem is the best way to go IMO. best fitment, best quality, and plug its mostly simple plug and play!

with aftermarket ones they have fitment issues every now and then, and also wiring melting and its not plug and play either.

of course the OEM will cost more but worth it in the long run!
