The new Civic gets a fog light design similar to the concept but we lose the body colored insert. It's sized and position mostly the same, even proportionate to each design, but Honda should really give us back the colored inserts!

Anyone know why they did this? Cost cutting? Improve light throw?

the fog lights only come with the touring trim. everything else gets smoke inserts.

Honda is pushing new Civic customers to purchase the Touring model which undoubtedly has all the features and options. But also, like majority of other top of the line products such as smartphones and compute/laptop systems the markup price can be a few hundreds of dollars more than lower trims generating a higher profit margin.
