Well its 2008 and I have a feeling there are a few new members who are interested in some 94-95 fog light look a likes. With the 94-95 foglights costing an arm and a leg, along with being very rare, these are a very reasonable substitute. Price has not been determined yet as we need to know if there is alot of interest before we do this!
We are hoping for more then 5 this time so if we can tell them we have a good amount wanting some now, then we most likely will get a better price.

The last group buy i think the highest amount was $121 with shipping. But I can not guarantee this price as shipping costs have risen along with the price of these lights (from the original place we were doing the gb through.) But all hope is not lost, as i might have a way to get them at a cheaper price, but again, no guarantee on that either.

On our 95 5spd

After the wreck we got another legend, and put them on that.

Austinlegend's 91-93 installation.

Alperovich's 94-95 Coupe Installation
As you can see the mounts need a little work, (extensions) because the bumper has a recess in the spot where these lights would mount.

They can be mounted on a coupe but they need a little more work. (Ill have alperovich post up his pictures.)

So post up if you are interested.

Hey Y'all - I "finally" got everyone's fogs packed & weighed, and in the next few minutes will be going onto my UPS.com Acct. to ship them all out, so check your mailboxes in the next hour for your tracking numbers.
As anyone who ever got a shipment from me (already) knows, please have a plastic trash-bag handy when you unpack your fogs, so that the foam sheet packing, foam peanuts, & bubble-wrap doesn't cover your kitchen floor!! (and then you'll curse me all night just cuz ya gotta clean up the mess)!!
I usually keep track of your shipments thru UPS, but most important is that you check everything after opening the box to make sure all is okay, in one piece, and undamaged, please. *(VERY IMPORTANT) Then email or pm me to let me know the status so I can sleep that night.
Thanks for the patience guys -
Joe G.

My Bad - Sorry Guys!

Hey all - check your PM's, as everyone is getting their tracking numbers as quick as I can type them right now!! Sorry for the delay, (partially my fault, & partially that my folks showed up earlier than expected from So. Florida, for my 'almost 50th birthday', ha-ha), but that's a story for another day!!
Your fogs are on their way gang!! Pse keep 'ME' posted, this time!! (and yeah, it was a pain in the butt packing & shipping all these boxes, so y'all better enjoy them)!! :thumbsup:

First - if anyone did not get a tracking number from me, pse pm me ASAP, and I'll get it to you as quickly as I can - I apologize if I missed you, but packing, UPS'ing, writing y'all refund checks on shipping - Yes folks, everyone got $ back on the shipping, even with all the stuff I crammed in your boxes - so make sure to check your package for an enevlope!
Next item is: I stopped at Hella in Peachtree City today, and there are a few more sets of these Micro DE's available for us, but the deadline is next Monday, (I believe 3/3), so any stragglers wanting a set, send your payment in NOW please! I inquired about yellow H3 bulbs for us, and was told flat out that Hella has not made yellow bulbs in years, but rather the lenses on their line of Fogs are yellow! HOWEVER, I was given a set of their H3 Yellow Star PK-22s bulbs to test out. They said these are the closest bulb to actual yellow that we will find on the retail market. As soon as Joey gets home Friday night from college, we will install them in one of our Legends to see how they are, and will post a report & pics, (If possible) - then if anyone likes them, I can pick some up almost anytime I'm near Hella in PTC.
Thanx everyone for your patience! Again, PLEASE let me know when your fogs arrive, and that they are in brand new condition, as shipped from GA.!!

Hey gang - I just checked all your UPS tracking numbers, and everyone but Barry, (sorry Buddy !), is getting their fogs delivered today - YEAH!! PLEASE let me know that all is okay. Tnx.
:werd: Just checked mine and it's at the UPS center that's 5 miles away...but probably won't get here till late afternoon! Should have just gone over there and picked them up! I'll keep you posted...

:woowoo: got mines today im so excited cant wait to put them on but its gonna have to wait cuz its supposed to be crappy this weekend :thumbsdow but got them in great shape and Joe wasnt kidding about the packaging gezzzzz it filled up my garbage can :giggle: i greatly appreciate all your efforts for wut u did for us Joe :thumbsup: so a big THANK YOU :bowdown: Now for wiring experts I need to know how to wire them up to the factory switch that I should be getting in a few days and I have an L so I know the factory wiring aint there. Also I have my JDM's hooked up to a regular toggle switch that I wanna take out is there a way that I can have both sets of lights running off the same switch?
 
#177 ·
The good news is that your Legend L IS pre-wired from the factory for OEM fogs, and YES, you can use this same wiring for the Hella Micro DE's - whatta ya think about that?!! I wouldn't hook your JDM's & Hella's to the same switch, as it could overload things, unless you use some serious 10Ga. wire or better. (I need to run some errands right now, but I will add more info to this later, I promise)!
Glad the fogs got to you ok, sorry about so much packing material, but I'd rather be safe than sorry!! :)

I just checked UPS.com, and everyone got delivery today- (again, Sorry Barry T., yours is scheduled for delivery March 4th, only cause of having to go cross-country to get to you, but it'll be worth the wait!), so is everyone's Fogs in good shape? (they must be, cuz my ears have been ringing all afternoon - most likely due to y'all cursing me for all the packing material ya had to get rid of after opening your boxes)!!

Mine are probably waiting for me on my front porch! Can't wait to get out of work and go home!!!!!

EDIT: I have the 94-94 Acura OEM fog wiring/installation instructions in pdf format. I'm not sure if these will be useful for self-installers or not, but if people do want to see it how do I put it up in this thread?
