I feel that Honda put in a lot of consideration designing the R, but the guy that made the USDM foglight switch should be slapped. So I bought the JDM Bling switch and figured it would be plug and play, and was wrong. Here is the way I hooked it up.

The Switch


The plug. Off of an accord alarm harness, shaved to fit. Any 5 pin will work as long as it all lines up.




On the USDM Harness there are only 3 wires, On the JDM switch there are 5. The USDM Harness will have a (black), (red w/yellow stripe), and (red w/white stripe). In the pic I labeled the accord plug 1-5, hook up the wires and thats it.


It should turn out like this.

Lights on, fogs off


Lights on fogs on

 

Then where would I put this?

 

fake hype r!! Did you ever get that working?

 

umm mi cant deside which switch to use now ... gota wire up the JDM one and see how i like it

thanks

 

IMHO the JDM switch is much better looking and in the right place.

 

i keep smacking my usdm fog light switch when i put my seat belt on. ionno

sucks but i have something else in my stock jdm fog light location. if i'd had the time i'd have gotten the jdm.

oh wells this is a good writeup, thanks!

Yes the pins are the same as what you see. Only difference is that you wont have to trim the plug. It fits as-is into the JDM switch.

Yes. When you buy a foglight kit, it will come with the foglights, the wiring that runs from the fogs to the wiring harness on the DS frame rail, and the wiring harness that hooks up under the dash. And also the american switch that fits by the e-brake.

This thread shows you how to use a JDM switch with the USDM wiring harness.

 

You gotta love write-ups like this one !! Thanks a lot !!!

You can use the plug but you cant use the CC wiring.

 

oh yeah, i know... got an extra harness from the junkyard

 

Then youre set. Just cut the wires from the CC plug and hook them up!

 

Where did you guys purchuse the JDM foglight switch?

and get the harness?

 

I got the harness with my foglights, and ordered the switch from Passwordjdm.com

 

just hooked mine up today thanx

 

so I can buy the USDM fog lights and hook them up to them JDM fog light switch? and later if I want the JDM front end I can hook that up to my JDM fog light switch? =]

 

thats what im planning on doing

 

if you guys are cheap... and have no money...


the wiring is exactly the same with the cruise control switch.
