If I order foglights from your dealer, would any other honda dealer honor the part and install it(knowing that I must pay labor)?

[chhonda]

@Idtelos I would hope they don't turn down labor work. Fog lights are a little tricky so most people end up taking the kit to their dealer to install.

Just a few things: The front bumper is a lot harder to get off than it looks. The two pin plug in both the front wheel well and the cabin were like hidden and needed to be found. There is NO room under the dash. You had better be tiny. My question is this - do you need to change the light switch? It may be the reason my fogs won't light up. It's the only thing I didn't do in this video. If so where do you order that item? 2008 CR-V

[chhonda]

@BOGY33 The light switch does need to be replaced. If you got a kit from a Honda dealer and ordered the correct one for your 2008, the switch would have been included.

Does this work on a 2011 CR-V SE?? Thanks!

[chhonda]

@whchuang Slightly different kit for 2010+ models but the installation is very much the same. Review the printed instructions for differences.

[philthyt]

Well, I did want to this myself. Not so much now. Thanks for the video though.

A little intimidating for a non-Honda technician. Anybody know if the installation is the same on a 2002-2006 CR-V?

Honda has been trying to sell these fog light kits for over 20 years now, but they cost over $500 to have it done at the dealer. Light bulb! Pre-wire the cars for fog lights and tuck the connectors - while this will cost an extra $8/car in production - people will buy tons of fog lights, the cars will be worth more, have more features, and be much safer on the road.

yeah ok!! just upgrade to the ex model and save yourself the headache, way too much work for 2 little fog lights!!

[EnglishAttack]

It looks like a big job, cant do it by youself.
