I've had ebay foglights for 2 years and they still work perfect. make sure you have a good ground and the switch is working. I will say the switch that comes with the ebay kit is junk. If you have a volt meter, just start checking around, see where you're getting power and were you're not. its possible you have burnt out bulbs too...?

Hate to say this, but you know.. you get what you pay for.

I did the same thing. Picked up a pair off ebay.. there are a couple different kinds.. I believe I used the esuse foglights maybe.. Whole foglight wiring harness fried. They will work. If you completely rewire them.

Do some searching theres a bunch of topics out there.

Usually the switch fails, if possible mod in an OEM switch, they will last a lot longer.

get a foglight switch from honda instead of the one that came with the ebay foglights. and most likely your problem is wiring either done by you or the cheap wiring inside the lights themselves.

The foglighht should come with a relay, check the relay, it probably is bad or you dont have a good ground.

Ok so I have the eBay fog lights and a 94 hatchback. My grounds are good I have the red wire from the battery to the connecter and then to the switch and the lights them selves. Now coming out of the switch is a red wire a ground and a yellow wire. I know red is from the connector from the battery. And ground is grounded. But I don't know what the yellow wire is for. Any help. And would this stop the actuall lights from coming on. I don't really understand how one wire coming into the switch with no wires coming out would create an actuall switch motion. Thanks...

Where else besides egay can you get decent fog lites without all the headaches? I was thinking about these lites too an if there a pain then I'll pass an find some better ones



Now another question, would switching the lites in the fogs to some hid lites help any? Was thinkin about doin this to a set for better lighting an good luck to the OP
