Default foglights on a 97 without them.. hard install?

How hard would it be to toss these puppies on my car, since the car didnt come with them?

It looks like I might be able to mount them in the plastic that was provided on my bumper, but I didnt know if I was gonna have to get into cutting and fitting things. The wiring kinda looks odd too, but I can figure that out np.

here's a link, its goin on a 97 dx

Yes they will fit right in, I have those on my car as well but I went with yellow, I installed them myself to. Very easy it took me about 2 hours to run them and have them up and working.

yeah, they're an easy install. i'm not positive from looking at the harness, but you might have some wiring to do. I didn't so it took me a little over an hour to install. you might be looking at 2 hours. the most time consuming part is cutting the plastic bumper grille with some type of small hand saw. other than that, it's easy. and i was just looking at everything, and it says it comes with an on/off switch, but i didn't see one in the pic. so just make sure they give you an oem style switch.

Yeah i noticed that. I assume I will try my hand at running my first relay, and I have a little led rocker switch similar to the one I am using for my Halo's now, I will probably just use that and match them up.

I had an issue wiht installing ground lights a while back when i did one of those wal-mart installs, and without a relay I would burn a fuse up every now and again, it seemed like it was too much power for the lights just through a little 12 gauge wire. I guess I will order a set of clears, I like the extra light output, and I think it just adds something simple to the front end.

Thanks for the replies, I will let ya know when i install :-)

Something else I just notices is I dont see the brackets that you put on the bumper so you can adjust the angle of the lights so check on that to

it says it comes with switch, harnesses and mounting brackets. I would assume they will be pnp, but the chances of getting an e-mail reply from these guys is pretty slim to none.

Most of these E-bay companies are based over seas anyway, and rarely do they respond to e-mails, they just take your money and if your lucky, you get a product :-)

guess This one looks better..
