Re: How to - JDM ITR HID Headlight and Fog Light Wiring
IN THE PICTURES OF YOUR FOG LIGHT CONNECTERS SHOWING USDM CRUISE AND UKDM FOG LIGHT IT DOESNT SHOW WHERE EACH COLOR IN THE CONNECTER GO. EVEN KNOW YOUR SHOWING US WHAT THE GROUND AND POWER IS WE CANT SEE WHAT WHOLE ITS IN, IN THE CONNECTER. IF WE USE THE USDM CRUISE WIRING BC I CAN REPIN THE CONNECTER

Re: How to - JDM ITR HID Headlight and Fog Light Wiring
not trying to thread jack but i have a question. the light output from the fogs of my oem hid lights is a yellow color, and not the nice deep amber that matches the side marker. I checked the bulb and noticed the actual lens inside the headlight is yellow. is that normal? should that lens be orange/amber? this is just driving me nuts... appreciate any help

Re: How to - JDM ITR HID Headlight and Fog Light Wiring
I've noticed that there are a lot of people still asking how to wire up their JDM ITR HID headlights and fog lights. There once was a good write up but the pictures have been removed so they are almost useless now so I decided to write one up.
JDM ITR Fog Light Wiring
First you will need to get a USDM cruise control switch connector from a 94-01 Integra excluding the Type R or the UKDM fog light switch connector.
Once you locate a connector now you will need to wire up the fog lights. For the USDM connector you will need to tie the two (-) Grounds/black wires to each other and then to a good ground. Next you will tie the two (+) Red wires to each other and then to the fuse box. You will want to connect this wire to a power source that comes on only when the lights are turned on. (On the diagram the wires are yellow)
Next you will need to run the green wire to a 30 or 40 amp relay that is available at any auto parts or Car Audio store. You will then need to run constant power to the relay and add a 30 amp inline fuse between the power source and the relay. You will also to connect the relay to a ground and lastly run a wire from the relay to the brown connector with a blue wire in the engine bay.
The foglights will now work whenever the parking, low or high beam lights are on and the switch is on.
JDM ITR Headlight Wiring
Now that the fog lights are wired you can wire up the headlights. This part is really easy so I will just post the diagrams I used to wire them up and if you have any questions just let me know.
Edit:
I've been getting a lot of questions about what to do if you upgrade from non-HID to HID headlights and only have a 4 wire brown connector. You can do two things, either buy a brown connector with 5 wires and add the wires to your current 4 wire connector. Or you can buy a spare connector and remove the wires from it and then add them to your connector or find the gold spade connectors that the connector uses. Once you do this is how you add them to the connector to wire up your HID headlights.
The first picture shows what you might be starting with. You can see the white part in the connector that will prevent you from adding the wire. You will need to remove it before adding in the wire. You can remove it with needle nose pliers but be careful, it is easy to break. Grab it from the middle and lightly pull it out.
Once the white piece is removed you can now add the extra wire. Make sure it is the right way and you should hear it click when it is in.
Once the wire is added put the white piece back and you should be done and the connector will look like this.
Your finished connector will look like this with all five wires.

Re: How to - JDM ITR HID Headlight and Fog Light Wiring
that is the right wire. it powers it up thats it. their is another wire that does the blnk. when the two touch the blinker stops blinking noise from in the car. so tryed changing lights cause the jdm one has one element init right. filed the nipple down on a usdm light with two elements. still no blink. so what else is there

Re: How to - JDM ITR HID Headlight and Fog Light Wiring
maybe its just been the camera/lighting, but i think it looks somewhat odd having three different colors of light on the front anyways (white from the hid, yellow from the fog, and orange from the corner light). maybe thats a strange opinion but...
