Not if you understand DC electronics. That's a very basic diagram.

what i did on my 7.5 is wired a switch between to of the wires that feed into the oem switch so i could control if the city lights were active or not(for legal reason). cant remeber what colors the wires were but i will check and get back to ya.

So just to clarify...
If you want your fogs on independently then all you need to do is follow the instructions as per Honda on wiring them up under the hood and in the cabin. The only thing you will do different is cut the blue wire from the harness to the dash switch. Now you take the blue wire that is hanging from the switch and connect it to a 12v source (I used the cigarette 12v source cuz it only goes on when the car is on. Some people choose the ignition wire but I didn't wanna go that route!) Now you just tape the end of the other side of the blue wire you just cut leading to the cabin harness and your done!
MY relays came in and they are working fine with just the use of the switch.
Thank you Tim for your expertise on the subject, it really helped out alot!

I'm glad it worked out for you Billy. I guess it goes to show that I actually know what I'm talking about.

so i checked the wires....the blue and the red wires are bridged together with a switch so i can control them but if you want a permanent solution then just simply splice the two together.

Inspire foglight wiring help

May 15, 2011, 02:08:30 PM »
Sorry for the long post but before i take it to an electrician to do it for me i rather give it one last shot. For some reason i cant figure out what im doing wrong when i wired up my fogs yesterday. I dont know enough about electronics to do it myself from scratch so what i did was i tried replacing the harness that came with the new fogs with the one i already have in place (stupid move) since i had inspire fogs before but then realized that for some reason its not compatible with hids only with the oem lightbulbs. So i took the new harness out and put the old on back in but now i cant remember the full wiring and the now nothing works. the foglight switch inside doesnt even turn on anymore. Tried several things and nothing works. Can anybody help?
Thanks

Lu, I'm going to start off by suggesting that you read all of the forum rules before creating any new threads, and adjust your sig accordingly. Second, you haven't really provided much information about the wiring harnesses that you're using. I have no clue what kind of harness was used. Was it OEM, is it aftermarket? If you're going from OEM fogs to Inspires, the wiring harness is identical as long as it's OEM or an OEM style harness. If you're using some knock off aftermarket harness, then I have no idea who made it or how it's configured.
With the right information, we can help you work through it. I would recommend that if you do not have an OEM wiring harness, get one. That way we know what you have and how it's supposed to be wired up.

But your previous working harness was for a set of OEM replicas, or just aftermarket fogs?

It was aftermarket i believe because they came with the inspire fogs. My car was never equipped with fogs when i got it. I have the OEM switch though that's about it. Everything else was modified.

It may be a good idea to start fresh with an OEM harness. That way you know what you're getting and know that it's not some hack job.
