For all 5th gen Prelude owners that have the JDM Foglights....

I have them installed and recently they're not working....they are controlled
by a switch i have on the inside but they were working when i bought the car and now they won't turn on?

any ideas?
maybe the bulbs or a fuse?

any help is appreciated
thanks

 

I'd start w/ checking fuses & move on to bulbs You'll generally need to check those before going anywhere else.....GL

 

yeah i kinda figured that.....but the only problem is i didn't put the foglights in so i don't know exactly where they put the fuse

 

should be eaither directly behind all the control switches ( cruise control, sun roof etc. ) or somewhere near the fusebox in the foot well.

I grounded my relay behind the plastic kickplate next to the driver, and believe i stuck the fuse behind all the switches.

 

The most common cause for that is a bad ground.

Here's http://www.geocities.com/pr_prelude/jdm.htm a site with diagrams.

 

The bulbs might be bad, check the ground, make sure they're plugged into the right spots inside the car

 

i appreciate your help guys
i'll go check on that today...

thanks for the website also that helps out a lot

 

I think i found the problem
the switch is getting power but i traced the wire from the foglights through the engine over to the switch and i found a fuse thats in a plastic case and the wires are connected to it on each side and it looks like the plastic case got melted by my intake....
i was wondering where i could get another one of these and what its called and if i gotta take that fuse out and connect the wires back into the new one?

sorry for the bad terminology im kind of a noob when it comes to cars

thanks guys
