Thanks for the compliments. I remember at first when I saw the first brave ones to undertake this project, I thought holy shit how hard it must be to do that. However after reading a few DIY and really thinking about it, it's not that hard, just have to be a little creative and good with tools.
Also an update, I had to take 1 headlight appart again. It fogged up when I washed the car and in the recent weekend of rain we had, it had a tremendous abmount of dropplets on the inner lens. The next day I removed the headlight from the car and stuck it in an oven again. I cleaned the inside lens up and polished it up, re-baked the light this time squeezing hard hoping to make a better seal. In the end just to be sure I applied an all purpose outdoor/indoor clear sealant around the entire seam of the headlight as extra protection. I will be washing my car today so I'm crossing my fingers it is sealed.
To answer a few questions:
Octane - Let me know when you want to do yours.. i'm ready
GreekPower - efxaristo yia ta logia sou
khoerling - Months ago I ordered a set of OEM civic foglights to replace my OEM fogs (exact same thing) as the glass lenses on mine were badly scuffed up. Well this civic kit came with a good wire harness to hook up the fog lights so I used that harness for the JDM fogs. I cut off all the wires I didn't need since I wasn't going to use their switch as I had a switch of my own to use which I ran into the centre console under the arm rest. I wired this harness to get power from accessory so I don't accidently leave the lights on and what's cool is I can turn them on independently from my other lights. Looks pretty cool just driving with the JDMs on. Hope this answers your question.
