Default OEM or aftermarket foglights?

Hi all, I'm new to this forum. I've had a '99 DX since 2002, and its been a great car, time to upgrade to a shiny new Civic. Gonna be ordering an 07 EX coupe for the wife; looking for some advice.

She wants fog lights, but I think $325+installation is a lot for something that I can probably buy better and cheaper. Agree/disagree?

Can anyone suggest a real good quality fog light or even fog/driving light combo that looks good and installs cleanly like Honda OEM? Hopefully I can find a set-up that doesn't glow yellow. Also, what are your thoughts about a switch that looks good in the interior? Any mounting suggestions? I was thinking that a good set-up should be in the $100-$200 range. I'm confident that I could intall it myself.

I know its a tall order coming from a newbie, but if anyone knows, it'd be the people on this forum. Thanks for any input.

here's Honda's description from thier site for comparison

Fog Lights MSRP $325
Installation costs not included.




Aid visibility and cut through in adverse conditions[ul][*]Integrated design for a factory installed appearance[*]Precision optics provide a highly controlled light pattern to enhance driver's visibility in dense fog, rain or snow[*]Plug in connectors mean no wire splicing or cutting for more reliability[*]Special housing is resistant to water, impact and corrosion[/ul]
Installation costs not included.

by the way, i think you can wire them to your normal like blinker thingamajig so you don't have to add another switch.
