Fog light install on 2000 civic si

[donovan772]

I need to know if there is a shop that can install the JDM fog lights(the whole kit) for a 2000 civic si, and how much it would be. I can't do it because I dont have a hole drill and i dont think i could do all that wiring lol.

i think u should try it, borrow some tools from some friends. There has to be dozens of write-ups on honda tch

shoot man....you dont need any tools other that a screw driver, some scissors(to trim the zipties) and a dremel or some sort of saw to cut the bumper with.

If you look on the back of the bumper....there are little dots in the foglight area. you can follow those and they should fit nice. I would recommend cutting small amounts at a time and do lots of test fits.

^^ yea better to go slow than to be in a hurry and regret it

good luck! it was pretty crazy installing an oem spoiler. Drilling permant holes into the trunk but honda awas so generous they had dots already marked where to drill fogs shouldn't be hard, especially if you already have an open hole through your firewall.

lets hope i got a hole in the firewall lol otherwise they wont be wired up lol. and yeah it scares me to drill holes anywhere lol.

[donovan772]

Just ordered some yellow ones.Should be getting them in in a couple weeks(coming from cali). but I also ordered a red stitch shift boot and type r style shift knob can't wait to get it all in.

[DaSmittyman]

Well drilling a hole in the firewall isn't bad as long as you now how to wield a drill and have the right tools. Just make sure you use epoxy or something to close up the hole.

[donovan772]

what size drill bits did you guysuse for your bumper? the instructions say 40mm and 11mm but thats metric and idk what that converts to so if anyone could help with that i'd appriciate it.

No reason to drill a hole in the firewall or anywhere else. Just find a rubber grommet that already has something else going through it and use a knife to make the hole a little wider or just use the existing hole. Dont drill anything.

The only reason you need to drill is to start a hole for your saw to go in, so any drill bit will work really. I suggest using a dremel to cut the holes...it makes life SO much easier and youc an pick up a dremel at walmart for 20 - 30 bucks.

So the only reason I need a drill is to outline where I'm cutting?

Nah you need to use the cutting wheel(what is attached to the one in the pic). if you dont have one...just about any store including walmart sells the wheels and they are CHEAP as hell too

With a dremel....you wont need to drill holes...just follow the dots.

If you use a saw you will need to drill holes just below the line so you can get your blade in there.
