DIY: Fog Light Install 92-95 Civic
This is a DIY for installing fog lights on any 92-95 honda civic.
Difficulty: pretty easy, minor cutting, plug and play basically.
Install Time: depending on how you go about the install, and the way you plan on running wires (hidden or visible) i say 3 to 6 hours total.
This isn't an OEM stanley fog light kit (it is a cheapo kit i got on ebay) but everything hooks up the same. I highly suggest buying the OEM kit or the DEPO copy because you get a proper oem switch and a better quality relay. I painted my fog lights as you can see...lets try not to blatantly copy my car in every aspect...i know who you are..be original.
Something unique to try: Lexus IS300 fog lights can be installed into the housing...they're 10X brighter than these oem ones...try it out
This is what should be in your kit, make sure everything is there...have a look over to see how it all connects before installing.
Housing Installation Section:
Remove your bumper now. Take off the 5 top screws. I can't stress this enough, USE the proper phillips head screwdriver, i believe it's a #3 large...otherwise you're going to strip these. I hate phillips head screws, terrible terrible terrible design.
Take off the 2 side screws (you have to remove your splash guard if you still have it installed)
Remove the 2 screws under the car
Now pull your bumper off (it should slide off easily)
Take a look behind those side vents. Honda has outlined exactly where you need to cut, and to make things even easier the mounting holes for the screws are even there...how convenient
Now cut out the vent. There is a million ways to go about this. Here are the tools i used. The easiest thing would be a dremel if you have one (i did, but didnt have the tool bit..meh)...begin cutting
Done. Test fit the lights, you have to cut out a small portion of the base so the housing fits properly.
Now screw in your fog housing using the supplied screws, mmmmm fits nice
Well, that was the hard part. If you made it this far you can definitely finish the rest.

Wiring Section:
First disconnect the negative battery terminal; then mount your relay. It can go anywhere you want, I chose an empty screw hole by the passenger side head light.
Ok. You can now proceed two ways...you can run your wires inside the engine bay (easiest)...or you can tuck the wires under the splash guard (easy, but takes a lot longer) I TUCKED my wires...this is how you do it.
Feed the wires through the air box hole. Heres what it should look like. Notice the inline fuse...make sure you can access it easily in case it blows.
Remove your fuse box (3 screws). There should be a plug behind it. Remove the plug and jam a wire straight through it.
Go under your fender and on the opposite side you should see another hole, with your wire coming through it.
Feed the power wire under the splash guard and through this hole...it should come through into the engine bay. Give it enough slack to be able to connect to the battery.
Now the passenger side is done. Set your wires up and turn your attention to the drivers side. There will be a ground you have to hook up, and another power wire that needs to be fed into the cabin.
Here's the ground hooked up, use the screw just above the washer fluid bottle...remember to scrape the paint off to get a proper ground (bare metal)
OK pull back the splash guard and you'll see another black plug, remove it (this is how the wire will get into the cabin)
Feed the wires under the splash guard (same as you did for the passenger side) and run the wire into the cabin of the car. This pic is bad (its inside the car under the dash) it doesnt show the wire in the cabin..but it's there trust me.
Ok with that done, go back to the front bumper and using the zip ties in the the kit, tie up all the wires so they're tidy and hidden...leave a little slack but not too much.
Go back inside the car; take out the 3 screws for the bottom cover of the dash and remove it.
Reach up in behind and pop out the switches. I plan on putting my fog switch where that sun roof switch is (I dont have a sunroof, the switch is a FAKE haha)...if you dont have that spot empty, use the blank spot next to the rear defogger. Pop out the switch, dont put the new one in yet! you still have to run the wires.
With the other wire harness in the kit, hook up the power wire to the wire you just fed through the cabin....perfect....
Hook up the ground now, see the screw next to the fuse box...maybe you can use that? actually. YOU CAN
Now with that hooked up you'll have one more wire to connect. In the OEM and DEPO kit it's a brown connector...in the cheap kits it's a lame metal connector without the plug. Connect this to the #2 blank spot on the fuse box (second from the right)...all of those spots will likely be empty on your car unless you have an alarm.
Now run the connector up the dash and through to the switch, zip tie the slack wires...and connect your switch, but don't pop it into the dash just yet...test the lights first....hook the battery back up...
ok the lights work work! if they didn't turn on, read the bottom of the page, my drivers side didn't turn on first try...
Now you can put the switch in position.
You're done everything. Put your bumper back on and install the covers on the fog lights...enjoy.
Now you're a baller.
If your lights DID NOT turn on as they should, check the following:
1. You HAVE TO have your corner lights or headlights on BEFORE you can switch the fogs on
2. Check all connections, loose wires etc. (i had a loose wire on the connection to the actual lights on the drivers side)
3. Check your grounds, metal to metal contact = proper ground.
4. Check the inline fuse, make sure it isn't blown (or not there)
5. Listen to your relay...you know it's working if it makes a click sound when you switch it on
6. If you checked those basic things and they STILL don't work...you need to go get a volt meter and start the diagnosis. See if the fogs are getting 12 volts...see if the switch it working etc etc. There are many topics you can search for on google to read about diagnosing a wiring problem.
HOPE THIS HELPS SAVED IT IN MY Email a while back when i did mine and my brothers step by step with pics........ mad easy to doooo

Re: eg foglight harness diagram
ran into a problem. I wired everything up and still nothing. I dont think I'm getting power at all. My guess is the relay is bad ?? It doesn't click when the switch is turned on/off as you stated. Also, the green indicator light on the switch does not light up when I press the switch....

Re: eg foglight harness diagram
I also bought a new relay and that didn't help either.
