As you can see this is my first post. I am waiting on my new Accord EX to arrive later today. I didn''t have fog lights installed. It''s cheaper to do it myself.
Where did you get your aftermarket or market fog lights and how hard was it to install the lights and the switch?
Thanks,
Eddie

What year is your Accord?
I just put some in my 96 EX, it was pretty easy.
I picked some up at Canadian Tire (you prolly don''t know what that is) for like 35 bucks, they''re the yellow ones and look pretty cool, they aren''t top of the line or anything but I like the look.
Anyways, pretty easy to install, and I fit the switch in next to the cruise control button and it almost looks stock.
I cut some of the grille out of the lower portion of the bumper couver and bolted the lights to the ridgid plastic bumper, grounded them to the frame and did the wiring, pretty simple.

I''ll post some pictures for ya.

since you said you are waiting on your new accord ex i assume its a 08.  I put mine on my 97 as 03sleeper said.  its not a overly complicated job, it just requires some time.  if you get them from the factory it should come with directions. 

I would just set aside a couple hours, get some refreshing drinks, a good cd, and possibly a friend to help out.
