Bfor you start judging yes i have done aloooot of reserch! GOOGLE, HONDA-TECH, AZHT, ALL DATA... Ive lookd everywhere no one says where to exactally wire the power to yata yata...

you can also tap into this SOB with the dark black wire on the bottom right corner...!!!

My_EFsedan

or you can just get power from the accessory terminals on the under dash fuse box

Thanks for the links... So i wired my lights up n everythin just like it says... Now my problem its i keep popping fuses... Anyone can help me with that?

dont run it off the battery! there is a safer and cleaner more OEM option. to have them run the CORRECT WAY, do this.
1. take off steering column cover
2. go to the headlight switch
3. look at the ONLY open slot
4. connect your power wire there

this way when you turn your headlights on, they fog lights will also turn on as they are supposed to. unless of course you have the button turned off

the way kojak has his diagram is a bit confusing seeing as none of the pin outs in his diagram match any of the OEM switches that i have

SoB NiG

Exactally wat im sayin like i have the prelude fog light switch and is a 2 wire so there is no ground for it... And his diagram doesnt really doesnt help for my switch.. crx si-r do you have a diagram oooor write up for the 2 wire or the headlight switch???

Unless you must have the real Honda switch, just get a 3-prong switch from Radio Shack or something and not have to deal with the Prelude switch.

Diagram above isn't that much different than the one you saw in the other thread. Basically the fogs get power from the battery directly or a constant 12V source under the dash to light up. This power source is interrupted by the relay and will only close the circuit if there's a signal that triggers this relay, and this signal comes from your headlight when it's turned to On. The switch is there only to control this triggering signal to the relay.

So, headlights Off, no triggering signal, fogs get no power. Headlights On, but switch is Off, fogs get no power. Headlights On, switch On, circuit is closed, fogs get power.

from what i remember the prelude fog light switch has 2 built in/connected together. and i don't remember there being a 2 wire set up.


LDO:
i hope your not saying to tap into the low beam, because doing that will dim both lights making it utterly pointless to run fog lights. and the usdm oem fog light switch is also an 3 prong and i see it pointless to use 2 fuses, why when you only need 1?

SoB NiG

Yeah the fog switch for the lude has 2 wires and the one under has 4 wires....

Ldo

You're tapping in the low beam to trigger the relay. Some people leave the foglight switch to On constantly, so when the low beams are on, the fogs are aso on. As to that causing the lights to dim, I have to check and see since it's not really powering the fogs. You're right about the 2 fuses, the 2nd fuse near the headlight in my diagram can probably be omitted since the underdash fuse is already there for the same protection.

crx_si-r

You do not need to tap the low beam headlights. There is already a Slot available for the fog lights in the head light switch.

SoB NiG

So does anyone have a diagram for the switch as the trigger?

SoB NiG

bump... anyone?

SoB NiG

Bump.. Why did everyone get quiet for?

SoB NiG

Since no one is really sayin anything else.. Can i run a power wire from the trigger in the head light switch to a fuse than to the light and ground the other side??

Sorry to bring this post back up, but i just got a pair of USDM crx foglights w/no harness or switch. Question on #4 from above quote: do use a female connector and just plug it in to the open spot (wouldnt the wire stick out when u plug the head light plug back into the headlight)? Does anyone have pictures of how this looks like on their car instead of a print out:

Interesting

would I have any problems tapping into the power wire going to the headlight switch but then running it to a relay so i can have my fogs on with just my running lights? i use my fogs as an alternative to daytime running lights since our cars are so tiny
