From the page: The item is brand new and manufactured by an OEM approved manufacturer which meets stringent quality requirements. New in box and ready to ship.

Are not actual JDM, sounds just JDM style... :(

Yup but for $5 doesn't sound too bad. I wonder how bad the fitment is though.

well i am assuming it only comes with the housing and not mounting hardware or harnesses. For someone like me who already has the OEM fogs in, i could buy that housing and just put those in is what I was thinking.

those require a little bit more cutting of the bumper so if u buy em you put em in n leave em its gonna be a pain in the ass to remount the honda fogs when the cutout for the fogs is all cut open

Nope. Got an email on Tuesday that said they had shipped the items. I think it's coming from China. They claim 3-4 day delivery. Somehow I doubt that. We'll see. As soon as I get it somewhat setup I can post some pictures. It might be a while until I get some time to do this ... :(

Got the fogs today! I am disappointed. The H11 bulbs aren't going to fit without some modification. I am going to have to use a dremel to make them fit ... :(

The hole is OK. It's where the clips on the bulb attach. The housing is too thick and needs to be filed down. I think it's going to be OK. I'll let you know once I know more. I'll probably get to it this weekend. Wife and kid are going out of town!!!

AXL Auto is the same company that was brought up with the "JDM Inspire Headlights" with the clear side reflectors. All their stuff is made in Taiwan, so if you want fake stuff, $5.00 isn't a bad price at all.

Yep, got 2 for $10, however the shipping was $33 ...

I think it's gonna work. Just gotta do some modifications, buy some 2500K bulbs and a harness. I think I'm just going to use a relay and run it off the low beams like my HID's.

Update:

Got the bulbs to fit the housing. One of the housings had a little extra piece of plastic that caused the problem. Once I filed it down it was perfect. The other housing was fine. Compared it to my wife's Pilot and the light output was comparable or maybe just a little more than the OEM fogs on her car. Next I will see how the housing fits the bumper. I'll post some Pics when I am done.

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to pics. Can you get pics of what you had to soto make them fit in the opening in the bumbler? Thanks.

I am looking forward to an update as well. I have wanted to do this style fog light with HID fogs for a while now, but I don't wanna spend the money on the JDM fogs if I am only going to use the housings. These might be a good solution if they are not complete crap.
