Default fog light problem rsx

I search and couldn't find any result.

i bought an ebay fog light from edixworks.

I installed the fogs and fogs harness but am currently stuck on the switch harness.
here's a picture of the switch harness. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k2...-238388071.jpg

i got everything to fit, but the white plug that goes somewhere in the fuse box?
already plug in the relay, ground and switch plug.

brown plug that goes into fuse box and brown plug that goes to hanging brown plug

the fuse.

white plug that goes somewhere.

it's not the greatest piece of wiring in the world.. you can either buy an oem harness, or you can hardwire it yourself!

it would be easier to wire the swith independently so you can have them on whenever you want instead of just with the low beams.

Bad idea to do, you could fry your wires. The fogs take alot more current then those sidemarker light wiring are designed to handle.

This is what you should do, it's very easy. I used 12 gauge wire since i have HID's for fog lights.

Regarding the connection to the fusebox, what does it actually look like, or does it have that lable (IGN) on it? sorry for the nub question.

I would like the anytime switch since I have mine wired to running lights as well... thankz

edit: and which fusebox lol engine bay or under the dash
