The Only Fog Light Thread You Should Ever Post In

[timot_one]

How much time do you have?  Maybe you should hit me up on AIM so I can explain.

I say, find the blue wire in your engine harness for the fog lights, and ground that.  Ignore that thread on DA.  I don't trust it.

I actually followed the steps in the thread on DA.. It works, and I haven't had any issues with it..

What happens when you dim your gauge cluster?

ive had mine wired like that for almost two years with no problems, like i said before, i installed a switch between the two wires so i could manually revert back to the stock wiring.

That sounds like a pretty good idea too.  I think the safe bet, is to just cut that wire and ground both ends of it.  My concern is that it's connected to a variable resistor.  Nobody has answered my question yet.

That will be the true test of how well this mod works.

i was reading an old post about using an OEM harness for inspire fogs. I was reading the old thread and there was a post saying to buy parts 5,6,7,8,9 from this list: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/aut ... GLIGHT+KIT

and went i went to majestic honda and searched up foglight parts for the 06 accord sedan (which is the accord model i have), the parts were different. i was thinking the parts would be numbers 5,6,7,8 on this list: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/aut ... +%28+06%29

NOTE: the links are 2 different model years, im pretty sure the first link is for 03-05 accords, and the second is 06-07. I'm probably going to buy the stuff from the 2nd link, but I just want to make sure with the experts here. would I need the parts from the first list or the second list. Sorry if this is confusing, if you ask a question, I'll try to clarify what I'm asking. Thanks for the help guys

That depends on what year your car is.  If you have an 03-05, then you get the parts from the first list.  If you have an 06-07, then you get the parts from the second list.  There isn't a huge difference between the two versions, except how fog lights are controlled in the engine bay.  Either way, get whatever is meant for the model year of your car.

alrighty. im a 06. just wanted to make sure haha. thx tim

I found inspire replicas for $60 shipped, but they only come with the housing

So as mentioned would I only need 5,6,7,8 too and bulbs to work those fogs (plus the obvious hardware to mount the fogs)

[CrackerTeg]

I'm assuming you'd need everything minus the OEM housings. Switch, both harnesses, and bulbs.

[Icebox]

correct

[Asim]

might just pick up the fogs, and install them next year

So almost all is well when I wired it up. It's just that the green indicator light on the button doesn't work anymore, not sure why, but I can live with it.

[timot_one]

The green indicator light that shows your fog lights are on or the backlight for the "fog light" icon?

[Paulius005]

The one that shows that they are on.
