EG rear fog light for $2
here is my first DIY for my beloved EG6.
tools you need:
solder and solder gun (optional)
shrink rubes or electrical tape
Rear Outer Stanly bulb socket can be bought from scrap yard for $2.
paper clip or small watchman's flat screw driver.
keep the original inner light wire handy as you be using it for reference.
on the original inner harness note the position of wires. looking at the wire side here is how i labeled them for this install.
[R][ ][G][b]
[1][2][3][4]
to remove the wires from the quick connect on the Outer Stanly wire harness use a paper clip or small flat screw driver remove the pins from the quick connect on the Stanly outer harness.
the outer Stanly wire harness also has two wires connecting to the corner bulbs on USDM cars you can cut and discard them
note this install will make the rear fog light come ON every-time you turn on the lights. i didn't want to go through the trouble of running wires to the front cockpit for the switch.
After the modification is done to the wires and connector install the proper bulbs into the sockets and then install the harness to your car.
now enjoy you very cool mod.

Re: EG rear fog light for $2
You really need to wire in a switch. Running a 21w tail light constantly is very distracting to other drivers, not to mention illegal.
Any photos of the light in operation? I'm curious to see the illumination level without the proper rear fog reflector in place.

Re: EG rear fog light for $2
I agree that you cannot have this light on at all times. It is just not safe - due to glare to other drivers - not to mention illegal to use without a switch to turn it on only when there is inclement weather.
While this is a good effort, I really, really have to recommend that you read my write-up on installing a rear fog light on a 5th Gen Civic using a similar, but arguably better, modification of a rear corner tail lamp harness. This will allow you to use your tail parking/running lights in that location as well as a switched rear fog lamp.
