The Only Fog Light Thread You Should Ever Post In

Check your in dash wiring harness ground.

DriveAccord isn't working for me. I want to be able to have them always on (basically if switch is on it will always turn them on if its off it'll keep them off). I bought the housing so far and am awaiting OEM wiring stuff before I take this on. Should I wire them according to the original instructions then when I get it to work that way modify the wiring harness?

[CrackerTeg]

That'd be the best way to do it. There's two mods you can choose from. Modify the harness at the switch, or under the hood. I'm not sure what the colors are for the 7.5 gen but mine were modified at the switch.

ok, here is the thread with the info on how to get them working. i installed a switch between the two wires that you are supposed to splice together so i could turn off the fogs when my hibeams are in use.

So, you want your fogs to turn on with a switch, regardless of whether your parking lights or headlights are on?

Basically yes. DriveAccord is up, but I wanted to know if my process would be similar since that is for using them with the parking lights. I'm going to end up wiring them as per the instructions on the Honda PDF then once I confirm they are working would tackle the job to have them light up independently.

im interested to see how this would work. a diy is must when you figure it out. take photos of the process please.

I'd have to double check the diagram, but you'd basically just wire up the power input to a 12 volt source that is on when your car is running.  Not a big deal to make happen.

Anyone have experience with this particular eBay Seller and/or the exact fogs pictured?

Yes I know that there will need to be some modification done to fit it to the bumper, but anyone done this? Any insight on this? Also, the auctions above don't come with any harness...does anyone know if the USDM harness will fit the above fogs?


(if this is in the wrong forum, please move...i wasn't sure if this would be electronic or just general, since i'm asking more about the particular eBay seller)

[k24low20z]

just some light modification done to fit it to the bumper, but is pretty easy to do. you can use any after market  or USDM harness  with h11 bulbs..

[CrackerTeg]

Moved to the appropriate forum. As for the questions, Lex has it done. Like he said, all you would need is minor mods and the USDM harness plugs right up. The only difference between the ASEAN fogs and the US fogs is the actual light housing.

[CYANiDE]

OEM harness and switch will run you a little bit under $100 + shipping from Bernardi Honda which isn't bad at all. $15 is really cheap even for replicas. I picked up some OEM housings (I guess JDM then LOL) and waiting on my other stuff to get here. I have the PDF for the install on an '06. Shoot me a PM if you want it.

[CrackerTeg]

Also, this has been discussed before. Here: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2156.

As for the ebay seller, no experience with him.

[timot_one]

I'd use the OEM USDM harness.  Bernardi Honda and Majestic Honda are in my area, so I can pick up and ship the harness if you want.  I'd contact lemonjelly about the actual installation.  He did an 06-07 front end conversion and has the Depo aftermarket/replica Inspire fog lights.

[CrackerTeg]

That's right! I completely forgot that Steve did the same conversion.
