(I have a 95 Civic EX Coupe, fyi)

So I go out like 2 HOURS ago to install this kit with the helpful instructions supplied by a member here, since my kit didn't HAVE any (from procarparts.com) in the box.

http://www.hondaautomotivepart....html


ANyhow, I take my lip off and the steeting column parts in a flash and put in the new fog switch first. I then get to this:



After staring at this for quite awhile and trying to find the connectors its referring to in the car, and the instructions I got online picture a much more complicated harness, I believe that Ive came to the conclusion that I'm missing a 7 pin pass-through type connector of some sort,

This is the light harness and the lights:


This is a power wire, (I assume) with two simple push in connectors:


This is the end of the harness that plugs into the back of the foglight switch:



Can someone clue me in now, am I an idiot, or what am I missing.

Looking over everything for a few moments then switching back and forth between the pictures made me realize you suck at taking pictures! Where is the picture with EVERYTHING together to make this simple... okay, it looks as if you are missing the plug that connects into the fuse box.

No I don't! There's no naked chick around, thats why I don't care about picture quality!

I figured it out anyhow, I was led to believe the Depo kit was EXACTLY the same as the OEM one, harness and all. Of course, I know now its not. I've got it working fine now, thanks for the reply tho.

Well for one you have the wrong instructions. That one "brown" connector goes into the inside of the car through the plug near the battery and then bring it behind the radio and into the fuse box near your left leg (as if you were driving) pull down that thing that tells you all the fuses and there should be 3 or 4 places to plug it in. I cant remember which one it was, but one of those you plug it in to. The long red one with the fuse on it connects directly to the battery. Damn, I cant really remember to much right now. But I am pretty sure you have the wrong instructions. Let me do a search for the right ones.

Ok.. I found this... But this is the way I did it..

ok i just did this last weekend.

on the main wire there's two plugs that goes to the fog lights.

on one side of the harness there should be a relay and a fuse with a red wire which should lead to the positive on your battery.

on the other side of the wire there should be a ground and a red plug that should lead to the inside of your car so you can plug it up to the switch.

on the switch you should plug the brown 2 wire connector into slot #2 under your fuse box on your drivers side and the black wire there goes to ground. Plug the red wire to the red wire coming off of your main harness. it should work... geez my writing sucks i guess i'll have to post pics LOL.

for the wiring in the below pic: from left to right (following the harness)

red wire with terminal which connects to red wire that runs into cabin
ground wire. best place is using a fender bolt
fog light connector
fog light connector
relay connector (relay is not shown in pic)
inline fuse holder
red wire with round terminal end, connects to the positive battery cable



for the 2nd pic:
connects to the end of the red wire mentioned above, then connects to the dash harness



3rd pic:

red wire with plastic cap connects to red other end of red wire mentioned above.
open ended terminal is ground, easiest point is right above the hood release latch
brown 2 pin connector goes into #2 slot on underdash fuse box (2nd from the right)
other end of this harness plugs into fog switch.

Why did you just quote the pictures without typing anything?

well your first mistake is that you have oem wiring diagram instructions for a set of aftermarket fog lights, they are oem style but they are not.

Read his post. His fogs didn't come with instructions. The oem instructions are better than nothing.

There are 5 optional sockets. From left to right... 4, 5, 1, 2, 3.
It goes into option socket # 2. So the foglamps only turn on when at least the parking lights are switched on.
