Then remove two bolts and two studs on the underside of the bumper and the screw at the top of the bumper behind the arch cover, then gently prise off bumper, its just clipped across the top.

If you have headlight washers you will need to detach pipework and cap to avoid loosing all your washer fluid.

The inside of the bumper is stamped where the holes go so drill small pilot hole

Then drill 20mm holes from the outside, remove plastic covers and fit fog lights using bolt supplied,

Remove more studs from inside offside wheel arch to move liner enough to get behind washer bottle and locate blue cable with loose connector and attach light loom

Brave man, that looks like major surgery to me!

WoolyCiv · 28th July 2006, 23:08

I'm mightily impressed with your work.

What is the unit in the 13th photo near the left hand wheel, is it a second horn? I seem to have two but one is at the left hand side and one is at the right.

civicsport · 28th July 2006, 23:26

I`ve got headlight washers which has a bigger bottle so there`s probably no room on the offside for the horn.

So have I, so why are they located in different places?

Pottsy · 28th July 2006, 23:33

Many thanks to civicsport for this How-to, great work. There are a few others here who want to do this - hopefully this will be the catalyst that gets them going!

AH!!!! In the 5th picture you can see the other horn is it possibly the alarm

WoolyCiv · 28th July 2006, 23:37

Good thinking

bigal · 28th July 2006, 23:53

i aint payin the dealer £375 and i aint stripping my beloved civic down so
i'll do without them foglights ta

civicsport · 28th July 2006, 23:58

It`s Dead easy only took 1 1/2 Hours and that included taking the photos, it comes apart dead easy most of it is just clips (too much really). How the dealers can charge £150 is beyond me.

bigal · 29th July 2006, 00:05

no honest i;ll do without lol

Mark996 · 29th July 2006, 00:27

Well done mate, I'm massively impressed also with your efforts......and bloody glad mine came with them as standard!!!!

Now, as you are clearly very good at taking perfectly good cars apart for fun, can you get cracking on sorting an iPod solution please!!!???

Oh, and your photos are very explanatory too.....good job!

Raegten · 29th July 2006, 12:26

Yeah, well done. Looks very tricky. But your photos have made it that much easier for anyone who wants to follow in your footsteps. Must be one of the best "How-Tos" yet.

richierich · 29th July 2006, 16:26

They wanted to charge me £45 for the labour to replace one fog lamp, they said it was a bumper off job and would take 45 minutes.

Fedorov · 29th July 2006, 16:41

Nice How-To mate - already got them on my EX but it's good to see great posts like this on here to help everyone else out who wanted to do this.

Nadz · 7th August 2006, 13:22

now- anyone know where I can get a cheap kit so I can try this for myself?

Pottsy · 7th August 2006, 13:31

Excellent job, civicsport. Well done.

civvie06 · 7th August 2006, 18:39

I am planning on fitting front parking sensors, so the guidelines on how to remove the front bumper are really helpful. Anyone got any ideas of how to route the wires from the bumper back inside the car? If I can find that out, I am almost certainly going to fit them myself and I will make the How-To

HondaHeaven · 8th October 2006, 20:59

Just fitted front fogs kit - all working and looking good - £120 for the kit fron local Honda agent (guy in parts had sold a set to his mate who decided to sell civ before fitting)

Pretty good!!
