Default Quick question.

I installed my Ek fogs into my s2k and wired everything up. They worked fine for about 2 days and now they don't work.


All the wires seem fine and the harness is good also.

Finally found out that the fog light switch took a **** on me.


My question is that I'm running 100w bulbs in there instead of the normal 55w.

Would those bulbs cause the switch to go out like that or was it just a bad switch?

check your wires dude. make sure they can handle the current. are the gauge big enough?

as far as switches go I'm sure that could be a possibility as well. go to radio shack and try a bigger switch. its definitely worth the test.

if you wired it right, the switch shouldn't see an amp load larger than 1 amp.


Taken from here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread/1812043

I want to redo that diagram.. so that the switched in, is wired directly to the battery.
