FOG LIGHT PROBLEMS!! and questions
I'm having a couple problem with some aftermarket fog light installation its for a FG1 non SI and the fog lights are aftermarket so that means they are REPLICAS and aren't exactly like the OEM Honda kit. I've installed them up until the inside wiring (SWITCH HARNESS)
First problem is that hooking up the switch harness I seemed to a bit confused I’ve tried to look up multiple DIY forums and none have been a whole lot of help because the instructions are for a OEM kit which I do not have. The switch harness I have is a bit different from the OEM one so I was wondering is it even possible to make this work the shop I bought it from has been little help with comments like "it work when we installed them" and "but it was too long ago to remember exactly what we did"
So many first question is this even possible with a different switch harness?
and if so can you point me in the right direction?
now on to my second problem which is there seems to be I a leak in one of my fog light because they are already installed except for the switch harness and I’ve been driving around in the rain I notice the passenger fog light started to filled with water. so my first step is going to be to try to get another one from the shop but if they refuse to give me one (because of their ridiculous return policy) I was wondering if its possible to fix myself but using some kind of sealant to stop the leaking. some people I’ve ask have told me that sealing it would stop the leak and other have told me no matter what I seal it with it wont help I will still have problems later down the road.
So my second question is it even possible to seal it to stop the leak and fix the problem completely?
And if so what with?

Easy I'm having the same problem as you. My fogs isn't working so I need to get a new switch harness from collegehillshonda. But anyways to fix your leakage problem you can do this to both fogs. Replace em with Lexan sheets from Home Depot. Doesn't crack as easily but from what I've heard it bubbles after awhile.

Again, if you have any questions, post the picture of the harness your fog kit came with and I will gladly tell you how to install it.
