So I got a set of foglights off a '90 Accord from an all-Honda junkyard, the guy must not have known what they were worth cause he only charged me $40CA for the lights, brackets, swicth and full harness. I brought them home and cleaned them up a lil, one was broken in the back, but only the plastic, not all the way through to the inside of the light.

Driver's side:

Passenger's side:

Harness and switch:

Removing the bumper was a pain because the nuts for the bumper support are stripped, so I decided to just remove the cover.

The plastic expansion clips were hateful because they wouldn't come back out with a screwdriver, so I tried something different:

I screwed in a small screw, only a lil bit:

Grab the screw with a set of pliers and pull the plastic center out:

I used a flat screwdriver and hammer and broke out the ones under the headlights. Piece of cake, the cover came off easily:

Then I used a utility knife to cut out the covers:

Installing the harness was hateful, especially running the wires through the dash, and I spent almost half an hour trying to bolt the relays up underneath the cruise control unit. But after several hours I got it all in, and the switch:

The worst part was the one light that was broken a bit in the back was very rusted where the bulb sits, and wouldn't carry a current. I got new bulbs for both sides, and some new wires and end connectors, eventually I did get them to work, then the bumper went back on easily using the original expansion clips:

Cleaned up and hauled it out of the garage to take a few shots and drool for a while:

TOTAL TIME: 5hrs
