    Not to confuse the issue, but it depends on what you are trying to accomplish. Driving lights work better the higher you mount them. There are basically 3 locations on the B to mount them (in the cowl, under the headlights or under the mirrors). If you mount them in the cowl, the front wheel will block a good portion of the lights. The lower you mount them, the longer the shadows are cast and the least the over-the-hill illumination you have. Just something to consider in your decisions.

    Going to put them in the cowl. Fill those damn holes.

    I have fog and driving lights. My fogs are Honda's in the stock mount. The driving lights (soon to be installed) are PIAA that are going into the top of the wheel well. You can also get mounts that mount under you turn signals from Wingstuff (http://wingstuff.com/products/36873-...?from_search=1)

    I have the Honda lights. The only reason I got them was when I bought my 2013 in July of 14, Honda was giving $1000 to use towards accessories. They work fine. However, they are round lights that don't exactly fill the more rectangular opening in the cowl. If I were buying them now with my own money, I'd lean towards the lights offered by various vendors that fit the holes exactly. Like those from SoCal.

    Honda LED OEM's in my 13 since June /14. No problems at all. Rectangular aftermarket look nice but weren't available at that time.

    I am currently looking/considering the SoCal fog lights. Doing my research now but leaning towards them heavily.

    Just a thought .....

    If you go back through some of the old threads you can get some great info .....

    I used the same as http://hondaf6b.com/showthread.php?6...ghlight=lights over 2 and a half years ago and they still work great.

    For myself, $30 and a little bit of work sure beats several hundred.

    Just my 2 cents worth.
