I used a foglight wiring kit b/c it made life much easier, despite costing about $20 I believe. So the switch that it came w/ was okay for the job, but I wanted to take it a step further and make a switch for it, one that will fill one of the holes on my center console. So I bought a fog light switch for a 7th gen civic ('01-'05) and it manage to fit flush. here's some pixs of it:

Get a relay, pole 30 goes to the fogs +, pole 87a goes to 12v+, then ground the fogs. pole 85 goes to the switch then to 12v, ground pole 86.

 

ok but what about wiring the fogs up for power?

I put that wire w/ the positive wire on the fuse box, under the hood....

if you wanna make life MUCH easier.... get a foglight wiring kit... already wired up and all you have to do is make the connections....

 

where can i get the kit?

 

and dont really understand all that pole this pole that...

I got mines at pepboys, but i'm sure you can go to other automotive part stores and get it as well...

 

hrmm sounds like a good idea. how did you wire your switch with that plug hooked up?

once you get the relay and look at it, you will understand.

I cut off the switch that came w/ the fog light wiring kit.. and matched each wire (switch, power, and ground) to its designated connector on the switch I am using now...

 

its not that serious. just get the 4 pin rc-2201 relay from honda, any automotive store or junk yard, and attach it to the socket thats already under your steering column wrapped in blue tape, hook up your oem fogs to the oem plugs, and if you have a 92-93 lude, ur socket for the switch is tucked right inside your driver side tweeter cover and if its 94-96, your switch socket is right by the radio near your shifter. then there should be 6-8 wires or so connected to the socket you connect to the switch. cut the socket off, get a electronic voltage tester thing, and see which wires are ground and hot, and basicaly you sodder the wires to the switch.

good luck
