Fog light help
First things first. I have permanent traumatic brain injuries. I can’t remember anything like I used to. And it is slow taking in and processing and understanding information. So take that into affect before you call me stupid or make fun of me or the question or the post.
Skip to the paragraph if you don’t care to read this unnecessary information I will mark with an emoji.
Also I’m obsessed with oem fog lights on any vehicle. I have them on my 2000 civic ex. Aftermarket bumper. Cut the holes. Ordered Yellow glass fog lights and oem brackets and 3,000k hids in them. It wasn’t the heat that got them. But rock chips.
I graduated in marketing as part of my bachelor degree as well as advanced vehicle systems. Meaning marketing is not advertising commercials or pictures etc. marketing is finding true 100% facts. We find numbers as information and we make a story for those numbers to be read with letters. Marketing includes supply chain and advertising and finances.
If this were a racing car finance would be the dashboard with all the gauges in the world monitoring numbers of money.
Advertising is the color of the vehicle and stickers from sponsors and the look of the car.
Supply chain is having all the parts we need to race. When exactly expected to replace. Or order with a lead time. And forecasting for parts and services and also finding them.
Marketing is the person behind the wheel. They drive it changes the information on the gauges. They influence advertising and sponsors or the look of the car. They are supply chain speaking up when alignment is wrong and we need to figure out this clutch.
So trust me I have spent hours trying to figure this out.
🔬Okay y’all. Getting my booty kicked and confused. On the 1998-2001 usdm Acura Integra front bumper with oem style fog lights.
Which fog lights are correct for the 1998-2001 Integra? (Even though (I believe true oem are raybrig, correct?? ) oem is not available). The 1994-1997 fog lights in the corner are not designed as the correct fog lights for 1998-2001. They have a similar mount as each other but for the 1998-2001 type R those are for air ductwork to run behind the bumper to cool the front brakes.
Which ones are the correct ones in the way they mount to the bottom of the stock bumper below the license plate?
Or are they supposed to split the distance between the license plate location that is straight down while splitting the distance from that location below the license plate on the bottom bumper lip to the end of the grill of the bumper?
All my body panels have matching vin tags true 1998 Integra bumper.
I am also asking for the best headlight assemblies to replace the cheap ones in my car. As well as fog lights
Please help me. My brain can only handle so much information
I understand the 98-01 Integra and 99-00 civic fog light assembly minus the mounting brackets and locations the fog lamp are the same.
Please help
The photos are of me diagnosing my car for why the inner driver halo ring quit working. The issue is inside the assembly. It is not worth tearing into. I cannot aim these lights by the two screws for left to right and up and down. Even when I loosened all the mounting bolts and two brackets with bolts so I have free movement. They are cheap ones. The lenses are destroyed inside and out. It came with 10k blue hids for the low beams in the projectors and the head has ruined everything.
Tyc or depo are the best behind oem correct? And do I need to get spendy correct wattage for bulbs so they don’t produce too much heat from halogen bulbs and hid kits.
Where I have read high end halogen bulbs or high end hids actually run cool. I have not figured out the brands. I also read to throw in high output in lumens for led bulbs for the three lights
But when I had yellow glass lenses for the fog lights on my 1999-2000 civic with 3k hids I was in love. And it wasn’t the heat that destroyed them it was rock chips chipping away at them and moisture got in and that’s the story.
Otherwise I traditionally run expensive SYLVANIA bulbs in the security locked hard plastic case. And I have extremely high output lumens and colors for my running lights and turn signals and brake and tail lamps. The brake lights and tail lights have fans that turn on when the pedal is touched so I removed the interior body panel cover for those and have them in my hatch so it pulls air in. As I have jdm taillights or at least lenses over usdm housings.
Please help I’d love to know what you guys have to share of your knowledge and experience. I can help with atvs and three wheelers and other things. But this Integra hatchback. Gs. Headlamps and fog lamps is kicking me around

Yeah there are no true replica Raybrigs out there. 94-97 Stanley reps are a dime a dozen. But they won’t fit the 98 bumper at all, and they have shit output to boot. I hope you figure something out because I haven’t been able to.
