These seem to have good reviews on Amazon. I'm considering them for headlights since they are about half the cost of the other options.

If you get them, let us know what you think about them.

I'm reluctant to get headlights that require more than a bulb. I got the HID lights for two cars when they were all the rage, and one of them stopped working for a state inspection, and the guy had to do a bit of work to get both headlights working - one HID and one regular. Later, i had to buy a replacement for one of the components - wait for it to arrive, remove and install.

I've heard (here) that some of those bulbs aren't a perfect fit, and they interfere with the headlight parts somehow.

Just want to add another option for fog light LED, i put in the Philips ones. Its made just like replacing a bulb except it is led instead of halogen.

I'd like to drive more safely at night. My '16 LX did not come with fog lights. What needs to be done to install? How much does it cost?

Although I have mine turn on with the headlights, I doubt they're anything more than cosmetic. We don't get much fog here. In England, and maybe in other countries, all cars have a single red fog light in the rear.

If you want to add fog lights, you can spend a fortune and buy them from Honda, or you can get them from the aftermarket. With any luck, the wiring is already in place. You probably don't have the switch on the light stalk, though.

I agree they are more for cosmetics than practical use.
The foglights doesn't light up much with the original bulbs

I had mine installed for about 2 months now and turn them on every chance i got to test their robustness. So far, they have held up well but i got some condensation at the outer edge of the foglight lens(Not on the LED bulb)

No overheating was observed so far.

My 07 the foglights are the most usefull in helping see the edge of the road just in front of the car in the really heavy rain or snow.

You don't want overly bright lights in sow or fog, creates glare.. 30W halogens are more than enough better yet amber ones.

Does anyone have a pic of stock vs LED light output? I was considering mounting a lightbar above the license plate (rally style), the stock headlights are pretty weak.

How about yellow plastic film over the lens?

The heat might melt the yellow film

Ah, yes. But that might melt it permanently to the lens.

Is there an easier way to change the fog light bulbs without having to go through the wheel-well liner?
