First time Del Sol owner
I'm a long time Honda owner and have built many hondas (EF, EG hatch, DC). I recently bought a Del Sol and have been having a real hard time finding parts for it. Suspension parts I'm fine with since I can use any EG part but cosmetic parts I've hit a wall. Any Del Sol owners out there, where do you get your parts?

Re: First time Del Sol owner (ek forever guy)
So just any EG parts will fit? Also I've been looking for the factory AUX lights (aka fog lights, it's a 93) and I can't seem to find them anywhere online. Does anyone know a good website?

Thanks I'm now blind in one eye.
The fogs for del sols are ridiculously hard to find. Good luck, they look super clean.
Yes, a del sol is essentially a clash of eg/ek models but the strong majority of 92-00 civic parts are interchangeable.
I'm 99% positive most eg parts will fit your car as long as they aren't aesthetic mods.
Suspension for example would be universal.

The 92-95 eg oem lip fits the best imo.
Other lips such as the 99-00si lip will fit with some work.
Theres not much exterior wise you can do to a sol.

Re: First time Del Sol owner (phondataz)
Sorry, just to be clear I just want the USDM aux lights that go between the headlights on 93 Del Sol. I know the actual JDM "FOG lights" are extremely hard to find. Thanks to all the people responding, I'm doing ok when it comes to supension/performance mods, but it's the cosmetic mods that are killing me. I like to keep my cars as JDM stock looking as possible. I know the EG lips will fit (and I plan to get those) but right now I'm looking for the aux lights and the orange reflectors on the front bumper (not to be confused for the orange sidemarkers). Thanks guys.

Re: First time Del Sol owner (figone007)
i had the same problem with finding those fog lights inbetween the headlights so i got a 97 del sol front bumper with no fog lights. looks mad jdm yo lol and then i did the 2000 si conversion. but go with the 97 front bumper looks better and you can pick it up aftermarket if you wanted to for under 100 bucks. dont know if you have u pull it around you but there always at the junkyard. goodluck man summers coming up and you will love the sol with the top off

Re: First time Del Sol owner (turbodelsol3)
thanks turbodelsol3. I'm already loving the top off. Ill have to look for that place. We have a "Pick your parts" here and I went there but they didn't have any del sols. I would love a 97 bumper but I thought those were really hard to come by and that's why I started looking for the lights. Can you point me in a direction where I can get an aftermarket one?

Re: First time Del Sol owner (phondataz)
the AUX lights are the ones between the headlights the fog lights are on the bottom, the fogs are eBay and usually cost about 500 bones, as far as the AUX lights eBay or Junkyard. i needed one cause it cracked and i found one real easy.
they do make lips for Del Sols go to JDMcarboy.com
the oem lip for the Si/Ex Eg's look way better than any of the other lips

Re: First time Del Sol owner (highrev1987)
yeah you know when I called Honda to see how much they sold them for they said they were listed as "FOG lights". That's why I keep putting both names. I went to my local junkyards but no del sols to be found. I tried ebay and I couldn't find any. I'll check again. Thanks for the info though.

Re: First time Del Sol owner (figone007)
Not too many places to find JDM things for us Sol owners. Good luck with the Fog Lights/AUX lights (which ever you prefer). You can also try modifying some aftermarket lights to fit there.

You might try the Majestic Honda website. I think you can still order USDM Aux/foglights. The cost used to be around $90 each.
As for the front lip, the Civic 92-95 si ones fit the best, as has been mentioned.

Re: (visormurp)
try solsociety.com
not much traffic on there, but you might find what you need. also like someone else mentioned, you can try aftermarket fog lights in the aux. light holes. i actually pulled out the stock aux. lights (and sold them on solsociety) to replace them with aftermarket lights.
what sucks about the OEM aux. lights is that they use the same bulb as your turn signals. not very bright at all. search the internet, here, or solsociety for DIY's on getting aftermarket lights to work. from what i remember, one of Hella's fog lights fits pretty nicely.
good luck, and i've missed my sol from the first day i sold it.

what other cosmetic things are you looking at? you should pick up some jdm visors, ideally the jdm driver/edm passenger combo if possible. the usdm visors on a sol are the most worthless pieces of crap ever.
maplights are cool, i guess, but I never use mine.
EDM glass aux lights are excellent if you're willing to fork out the dough, maybe look at EDM rear fog lights?

Yeah those Aux lights are hard to find i just finally found some at a junk yard way cheaper than majestic. You just have to be patient. Now im just trying to find some oem headlights, thats proving to be tricky as well.
