Trouble with JDM fogs.
Hey guys
Well I tried to install my OEM Stanley foglights when I realized they were made different for the RHD version of the 5th gen Accords. I extended the lead wire that plugs into the underdash fuse box but when it came to these four wires I knew one of them was for the ground, and another was for the fog light harness.
Any ideas as to what the other two go to? I've looked every where on how to install them so far the only one I came up with was for the 96-97 Accords which use an entirely different harness setup/

During some time i was doing a search on this also... and wasn't able to come up with an "official" way of wiring the fog lights unless using the OEM harness... which is no longer available as a full set, cause you can get 1 of them, but not the other 2.
Depo replica fog lights for both 94/95 and 96/97 will share a different wiring setup from OEM ones, which in my opinion are a lot more simple.
From the fog light button/switch inside the car, there would be 5 wires, 1 is ground, 2 go to the same place and the other 2 would head outside (towards engine bay/front area).
You will need a relay to acomplish the rest of it, but the wiring would work indeed.
I just don't remember how the whole thing worked out once it was over the firewall... you do need a wire from the positive/battery... and that's about all i can tell you without getting mixed up. See if you can find someone who has a "depo" fog light kit and see if they're willing to brake the wiring down as of how it works and where it goes for you, so you can get yours working.
