Default 1996 OEM Foglight install

On my OEM foglight kit, what do I all need to plug in? Nothing in the fusebox will plug in or vise versa. Also I can't find any good wiring diagrams. Please help!!
I already searched and nothing came up.
Thanks for the help ahead.

My switch harness is different than the one that is posted. Are there any more diagrams, mainly for the OEM Accord 5th gens?

I have, I haven't found anything. I think they may have shipped me the wrong harness now that I look over everything again.
I say that because none of the plug ins will go into the fuse box.

You probably bought a DEPO set or have a DEPO harness.

Both installs are in that thread. It's the 2nd one that comes up with "fog"

Sushi, the OEM fogs go to the hood fuse box, you unplug one of the existing and plug the fog harness in series with it.

Did you buy it new?

If so it should have an "A" sticker and a "B" sticker.

I'll also clue you in on the bastard hold that you run the wire through the firewall. Start at the throttle body, and go straight back to the firewall, then go straight down to the very bottom and you should see a small circular hard plastic cover (it's about 1 inch in diameter). Pop that bitch out and it'll lead to a hole right above and to the left of the ECU compartment.

Yeah I bought them new.
How long did it take you to install your OEM ones?

Well I had done 2 DEPO installs prior , and I actually did the install without the instructions and guessed where it went. I would say hour and a half to get all that done, then I took apart my fogs and put yellow lamin-x on them.

Ah nice, hopefully these don't take me too long. I'm actually about to start on this.
I dunno if I should paint the lenses on these, I'm still debating.

Go Lamin-X with them, I did that and you can't tell if they're yellow OEM or not. It's a perfect match.

pull up the ECU metal covering, there will be a preforated circle in the sound padding there, pull that out from the inside, then poke the plastic out

^ lamin-x is a "lamination" type material as opposed to painting the lenses with model car paint, correct?

Wow lost here, there's a two prong plug in (male) and there's one that looks like the male would plag into, what do those go into? That has got me stumped. I looked over the instructions four times and don't get it still.

That stretches to the driver's side corner light.

Car harness > Fog harness > corner light

Both of them? So unplug the wire from the corner light then run the wires all in series then plug back into corner light?
Lol I dunno how I'd be doing this without your help, Million thanks to you MuffinMan.

Yeah it's in series, they'll only fit on one of the 2 plugs, one is flat on the sides and the other has a raised bump thing.

So plug in the one from the car into the fog harness, and use the other fog harness one to the corner light



Ghetto, but what you want to do
