These endend up looking good IMO especially if you match it with LED's in the bumper lights and parking lights too... Ya but not much light output at all huh...No biggie like you said it's a cosmetic upgrade anyway..Which company or ebay buyer did you go through? Reccomend?

I dont know if these are the ones he used, but about 1/3 of the way down the page, there are a few different options for H3 LED's.

Which style of bulb did you choose? Cause I notice that maybe a bulb with more LED's pointing forward would produce more light...I've got an 01 with all black headlights and I'm thinking that these might not put out even close to enough light with no chrome reflector in the blinker location any more...That's also why I though a good deep orange would look good with the black too....

Above are the ones I went with. It's a 9-led SMD LED 12v setup. My parking lights will be matched for sure. Definitely recommended as well if you don't mind doing moderate modifications to the glare shield.

Got the fogs in last night. Minor modifications needed to get them to fit. They're about a half an inch longer than the H3 bulbs, so I had to bend the glare shield all the way down and move it out of the way so they could fit. I also had to take a needle nose to the female connection of the wire and close it a bit because the male end of the wire connection is thinner. Overall, I like it. I need to switch out my running lights to a true amber now (probably LEDs) so that might sidemarkers, fogs and running lights all match.
Very well done.

I think I'm the only a33 owner who likes the amber in the corner of the headlight.
I think i'm the only one who doesnt like yellow fogs. Every SRT-4, MS3, civic, etc. has yellow fogs... It's the latest fad for all the little rice rockets in my area.
I have matching hids in the headlights and fog lights, output is awsome and people say they love it better than the yellow.
Be different, do the amber. It doesnt matter what anyone says, if you like it, do it.

Honestly, I just saw one tonight and remembered this thread...the New(ish) body style Grand Prix has amber lights lower in the bumper. They are circular and completely amber..dunno if they are running lights or fogs, but they appear to be running lights, but it give you a better idea than the Caddy above..
well hell..I was looking for a picture and cant find one that has the same lighting as my neighbor's..booooo..

You're right. They're runners. That's actually where I got the original idea from.
phatboislim: Sorry to hear of your output probs. What vendor will you be going with for the amber fogs? I take it they're 2000k?

Why would you do this??? It doesn't look right and it completely takes away what your fog lights are they for to begin with. You have no light coming through now and it is just a small glow??? Why would you want that??? Go throw some 5% tint over your headlights while your at it for another cosmetic mod...

It's something different from the bandwagonning HIDs and yellows. I tend not to follow crowds and don't mind spending as I see fits the car. Get a little more constructive, or gtfo.
Oh, and woody. A re-wire is coming soon. I'll get some pics up for soon.

I am fron Arizona. There is no fog in Arizona. There is no real need for fog lights, that is why they are now cosmetic. If your commenting on taking away functionality from a part that needs not function, your point is moot.

Well you realize that your foglights do absolutely nothing for you in the fog anyway right? The only thing your fog lights do is illuminate more of the fog causing glare and ultimately make your vision in poor conditions worse.. And out here and in most other of the 50 states it is illegal to drive with foglights on with no fog.......Soooo why did you choose to stick eyelids on your car? Sticking an extra piece of ABS plastic on your headlights isn't a cosmetic mod? And as you stated "completely takes away what your headlights are there for to begin with".... Just didn't see a point to your post I guess since there are literally thousands of threads that have cosmetic mods and I'm sure so didn't like your ideas either...
. Oh and my eyelids don't affect my headlights projection and they look good so it's a win win...if you don't like my eyelids that's cool, it doesn't bother me because that's your opinion and your entitled to it.
i think yellow looks better

imo i like the yellow alot but here in western mass it seemed to become a friken fashion statement on hondas. ive seen literally upwards of 40 hondas riced out with yellow lexus fogs or lamin x'd yellow lenses. im glad i waited on doing the same mod. but i just dont see how amber could amount to anything?

amount to alot for those of us who love our amber park and side markers...it brings it all together. i like the yellow myself too..but it didnt do too much for my car. at least, even though its dim, it brings my front end together and makes the 6ks look beautiful

Fog re-wire coming up and amber LED running lights as well. Keep posted.
