Re: (XtremeSpeed)
 

What kind of relay is it? Maybe you wired it up wrong?

EDIT: Sorry I thought you meant you had wired in a new relay with it...

its the honda relay. i dont think i could have wired the relay up wrong, since its plug and play. as far as wiring the switch wrong, i know whichone connected to what. the orange went to the black. red/yellow to red/yellow. and the red/black to red/green

also, right now, with the fog switch off, they r still on, and they turn off with the hig beams, but when i turn on the switch, they stay on, even when the high beams r on, and the relays makes that buzzing sound

try going there....i got my relay from them and it works fine. the fogs only come on when the driving beam is on, when u high beam it turns off, when u turn the headlights off the fogs turn off also. im pretty sure thats how the stock ones suppose to work. i juat wish that theyd stay on when the parking lights are on instead of having to turn all the lights for them to work.

i already have the relay from honda, i dont need another one, i just need to make sure that this one is just deffective. when the switch if off, the fogs work perfect(turn on when the lights turn on, off when i turn the high beams on) but when i turn the switch on, it makes a bizzing sounds from the relay and the fogs stay on regardless is the high beams r on or not. also when the switch is off, the indicator light on the switch turns on by itself as soon as i turn on the lights. any ideas?

bump..just picked up the new relay from honda...someone please tell me if i did it all correctly, i dont wanna burn this one if it was my fault last time.

Re: (XtremeSpeed)
 

can I use any generic automotive 4 pin relay for the fogs?

bump, can someone please answer my question instead of asking ur own?!? search it has been covered. apparently yes, but i dont know which ones work..

also, does the relay need to be grounded at all??(the bracket is metal and its supposed to mount to the cruise control unit bolt, so i didnt know if that was coincidence, or its a ground)

Re: (XtremeSpeed)
 

the relay is a direct plug in to the harness, no need to ground

what about the switch? did i do that correctly? the 3 color wire3 on the stock harness were orange, red/yellow, and red/green. the switch had black, red/yellow, and red/black. i connected black to orange, red/yellow to red/yellow, and red/green to red/black. is that right?? its the JDM switch and i have a 96

bump

bump..come on guys, i just need an answer before i put the new relay in.

Re: (XtremeSpeed)
 

this is what i've experienced. mine buzzed when the high beams/fogs were "on" and high beams "on"/fogs "off", also with the switch "off" for both, but not when lows/fogs were "on". i changed the indicator light(burnt out) and that fixed those problems. if i have my lows "on" and fogs "off" it buzzes. so, when i have my lows "on", my fogs are "on" as well. there is another indicator in the switch, i don't know what it does (possibly as a resistor?). maybe that could somehow be the cause of my continued buzzing when all are "off", or the switch is worn so the current leaks through. i may take the switch apart and use some contact cleaner on it. i think this because the indicator has a dim illumination when fogs/headlights are "off". maybe someone else knows? oh, and i have my switch(jdm) wired the same as yours.

Everything done right, only thing is I had to short the switch to get them to work because I don't have a switch. But buzzing is still there. ARGH!
