Why don't you get an OEM or fake-OEM foglight switch?

EDIT: just looked at the foglights you bought... they come with an OEM replica foglight switch. Why don't you use that?

The rectangles are fillers for the holes that are there. In other markets, some Civics have accessories, such as seat warmers, and the OEM switch goes in that hole. There are also bumper parking pole switches, etc.

yup definitely recommend using the oem style switch, much cleaner and gives it the look like they came from Honda.

what about the left side by the power mirror and the sun roof switches? any more room there?

Im getting myself a pair of OEM fogs in the next couple days and will be using the DIY found on this site, but I am nervous the install to me looks a little tricky.

electrical skills??? it's like three or four wires (for fogs). I'm thinking he is nervous about cutting into his bumper and making sure it is right. Just measure twice. Make small cuts... you can always cut again. Make too big of a cut, you're screwed.

Edit - I'm still shocked a thread about someone buying headlights and tails made it to 7 pages. lolz
