That doesn't look like its going to fit. A guy asked me about those before. They don't look like the Gen 5.5 shape. The corners look too square in the picture.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

The corners do look square, but do keep in mind that the fog lights are behind the bumplers and their corners are hidden from view by the curve in the bumper's opening. If I push in on my lights, they move inwards a little bit, meaning that the lights are not clipped to that side of the curve's edge (and that there are more to it behind the bumper).
Then again, this is my speculation - I'll take a look behind my OEM lights to confirm.

Are you sure about that? 'Cause my fog lights are shaped just like the hole for them is. It clips in on the inside of the bumper, but the fog lights fit perfectly into that little space, and no part of that actual lens or anything is inside. Only the back part of the lamp and the clips.

Not absolutely sure, but from what I hear, the Gen5 fog lights can be inserted from the front and are shaped like the opening. The Gen5.5 however, cannot be snapped in from the front, they are mounted from behind the bumper. I've not yet taken the underbody cover off to view it (I'll do it tomorrow when I change the oil) - but from what I can tell, there's more to the fog lights themselves than what the opening shows. I've been able to push the light back a little bit and so far can see that the lenses extend beyond the edges of the opening
but anyways - just my speculation for now... I could be wrong, I'll find out for sure tomorrow morning.

OK... so here are the pictures. These are pictures of the passenger side fog light, I assume the driver's side won't be much different except for it being the mirror image of this side
(1) As seen on the outside:
(2) From inside, on the left side - its shape is not the same as that of the curved edge visible from the exterior of the car.
(3) On the Right side: When looking from outside the car, we notice a sharp upwards edge that cuts up on the fog light towards the rear of the light. But looking from the inside, the fog light housing acutally extends beyond that edge and the unit itself is of rectangular shape.
(4) One last pic: the mounting screws are done from the inside, two are visible (red circles) and I'm sure there's at least one more on the other right corner. I even found that this unit has an adjustment aiming screw (blue arrow) which was kinda cool.

Wow, ok! Thanks! So I guess those ebay ones should fit... I wonder why they made the 5.5 fogs to fit from the inside... its more difficult. It took me 3 seconds to snap mine in... oh well.
