Cracked FOG lightS.

Cracked FOG lightS.
Both my fogs are gone. So today I hope I did a wise thing and bought a pair of fog light lamps from some company on ebay.
Here's their description:
This auction includes a complete fog lamp kit for use on the model listed in this auction without the factory fog lamps or as a replacement for existing factory fog lamps. This auction includes everything needed to install and requires no other parts or extensive modification. The BL-527w outperforms regular fog and driving lights in any weather condition. 90 degree beam pattern is both wide and far reaching, die-cast metal housing 55W H3 xenon 4100K white bulbs, 3.5"W x 2.2"H lamp enclosures, heavy-duty mounting brackets, LED illuminated switch, deluxe wiring harness included. BlingLights is one of the true leaders in the lighting industry. They produce Top notch lighting equipment. BlingLights lamps stand out as "lights with attitude".
Can anyone tell me if I'm screwed if I want to pop out the old lamps and just stick these suckers in there? Hopefully, if it doesn't work out I can send it back and not end up breaking the bank.
If anyone's interested I'll let you know how the install goes and if this works. It drives me crazy that the fogs are broken on my 2008 sport.
The best part is I paid 60 for the lamps plus shipping. We'll see how it goes.

U won't get it to fit just like stock without heavy modifications. I can tell u right now just from lookin @ the pix it will not line up like stock.
IF u wanted a stock replacement for cheap, why didn't u go for the oem replica foglights specifically made for the honda fit? They only run $75 for everything. All u would need is the lenses, and those bolt up just like stock.

lights arrived today. First thing I see on the box is "for off road use only" And they are advertising these for a Honda fit? Can't remember the last time I went off roading in a FWD car. Oh well. I do like the color. I'll let you know what happens when I have time for the install.

There is just one screw holding the fog housing onto the bumper. Should be a quick replacement and no need to remove the bumper. I installed the honda fogs on my base fit. I had to remove the bumper to do the cutting and get access to all the wiring harnesses but you don't need to worry about all that. Let us know how it turns out.

2007 2008 Honda Fit New Foglights, OEM : eBay Motors (item 120462878711 end time May-22-10 16:20:57 PDT)
But I asked the seller the following:
Hi, you mention that these fog lights are for the honda fit BASE. I have a honda fit SPORT and would like to replace the fog lights with some black ones like you are selling. Would I be able to simply replace my stock ones with the base model that you are selling?
And this is how the seller replied:
THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. THE BASE MODEL HAS A ONE PIECE BUMPER, AND THE SPORT MODEL DOES NOT. SO INTERCHANGING SPORT AND BASE FOGLIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK. - yourhondaparts
Confused? I am. I don't see why I couldn't just use the base model, but I've contacted 2 companies and each of them said that the base and the sport don't line up. BUt they also sound like they don't answer the question directly. Has anyone with the sport but the black base fogs on a sport?

I painted my housings black. Simple sand, prime, paint.
I was also thinking of buying the base housings but figured if I messed up the painting ill go for it. I don't see why it would'nt fit it's got to be the exact same thing. But when ordering them your ordering parts you don't need like all the wires and harnesses and the switch.

Isn't it possible to go to a trusted body shop, order the same light cover and just get a different bulb and possibly a different color bulb for your fogs?
Or do you want to change the shape entirely?
Making friends with a mechanic gives you some mean deals. Just an idea.
