I will hopefully be picking up my Type-S in a weeks time and have been reading the whole foglight saga with a terrified interest. I've never spent this much on a car before and panic about the idea that the new car will have blown foglights requiring a £200 fix! I have gone for a new car to precisely avoid this kind of 'suprise!'

Anyway, once I get the new car I may well be in the market for a set of these, so I may give you a shout. I live in Grantham but work in Peterborough (Thorpe Wood) so I could even collect

Gray52 - I know u made yr foglite covers last year, and this is a long-shot that u will get this and reply, if not then help from anybody appreciated - how are the covers fitted to the foglites? I have some polycarb sheets about 1mm thick but they are VERY strong, and planned to make some from that - but couldn't see decent way to fit without dirt getting in back and being impossible to clean?? HELP please . . . .

PM nearer the time?

FWH · 29th June 2007, 19:54

A BIG THANK YOU FOR GRAY52!!

I have orderd a fog cover set in early february and right after I got my car I have mounted them.
I have cleaned the car today, removing the covers to clean them also. On the left hnad one there was a massive damage some kind of a huge stone chips (two of this next to each other). Without the cover my fog would be def. broken now! So covers have already paid off and I hope they will save my fogs from further chips! Thx again for Gray52!!!!

(I will take some pics if I will have some time!)

FWH · 3rd July 2007, 19:12

A question.

No doubt the fog light cover protect against chips.
There is no doubt about that.

Also, I am sure a number of the fog light breakages have been due to chips.

So, they are a good idea.

But, there has also been discussion of that other things may be the cause, eg heat, tension.

Have any fog lights with covers broken?

PTR · 3rd July 2007, 19:21

just one more additional info: I use my fogs a lot! (in rain, in dark with main beam, for DRL in Austria the law allows it... etc.)

so mine def. heats up / cools down... I have 10k km in the car

raymonatron · 4th July 2007, 02:28

I've had mine on for a few months now and done a few mile too - no problems with mine.... lights and covers still very much intact.

CopyCatz · 4th July 2007, 10:40

Is this stil useful, now that Honda is doing the repairs under warranty and the fault is with overheating instead of stones?

Is this verified?
Officially?

I mean some damage is probably from stone chips (see the post about damage to the covers), but has Honda officially admited to an overheating issue?

Ham'sCivic · 4th July 2007, 11:43

Sorry guys but i'm not a fan, great idea Gray52 but I just can't bear the look of the fixings.

I will have to risk my fogs!
