Hey guys, I've done a search and cant find anything that will help me. Anything that 'possibly' could - always makes references to pictures that arent up anymore (argh!).

Anyway, I have some aftermarket fog lights that I have hooked up and they are working with the switch that came with the fog lights.

Now that I have that out of the way, I want to connect it to the OEM fog light switch I was able to get:



From the foglights the wiring goes to a relay with a positive/negative.
From the relay goes a single wire into the car that connects to a plug which has a positive and negative.
The plug goes into the switch which enables/disables the fog lights.

The OEM fog light switch doesnt have a plug / pigtails so its gonna be a bitch to get to work. To make matters worse, it has 5 pins - and I dont know what is what?!?

Any help please ???

luckily the defroster switch has a five tail pigtail too, just like the switch. go to the junkyard to find one and cut it. as for the wiring i had to just play around

Ive found a solution to the pigtails (computer cables to the rescue):



Now its just the wiring!
Ive found this image which is from a 96-98 civic; which I am guessing is (hopefully) the same wiring:


Now; the colours; what is what?:
Black:
Red/Yellow:

I had the same issue on this so I just finished this up about a week ago. The defrost plug is the same so go to a junk yard and pick on of those up. The 5 wires are red(dimmer control), red/black(parking lights), black(ground), blue/yellow(fog lights on/off), and black\yellow(this goes to power source, ignition if you want to use the fogs without the lights on or parking lights if you only want to turn on when your lights are on.) You can hook red, red/black, and black to the defrost wires to make it easier then running alot of wires around. Hope this helps.

Ok, finally figured this out after blowing a fuse

Anyway; just for future reference - these are the necessary pins (excuse my poor ascii art skills):

Pin 1: Positive
Pin 2: Relay
Pin 3: Negative/Ground

Pin 4 / 5 arent 'necessary' - the on goes to a fuse - (which I dont think is necessary if your aftermarket fog light kit already has fuses), while the other goes to the 'dashboard dimmer' which will basically just control how strong your oem fog light button light is.

That's not an OEM switch. That's the aftermarket Esuse foglight kit for a '96-'98 Civic.

OEM, DEPO and Esuse switches are all different.

Yes, that one in that image isnt OEM - but mine is

I know.

The car in the image is parked in my garage.
