there is an extra brown male connector that has a fuse on the same wire. the switch has power to it because the light turns on. the relay clicks when I press the switch. the lights dont turn on...man im mad. I was thinking if it was better to just direct wire it. opinions?

 

Ground?

 

that's what you get for buying ebay brand ****.. but good luck sorting things out

 

you know you have an eg when... haha.. every damn civic in america has those fog lights and none of them work or are even actually wired lol

 

i don't know if i have ebay ones, but i sorted it out with a new relay and the fog switch i had in dash.. and i just had only the wires from the foglight bulbs.. so just try to use your head or google the wiring of some random foglights!!!

 

this might help, https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/egay-knock-off-fog-light-wiring-help-2716028/ . its a while since i done my ebay ones but i just searched on the net some

 

I have purchased like 4 pairs of those cheap fogs for my 99 and all of them wire right in and work just fine

 

yeah well they were 20 bucks so it was kinda expected that they were all f ed up
yeah im thinking about just wiring direct i know the relay is messed up and the wiring is kinds faulty. oh well at least they look nice.haha

This might help, it's what I used when I installed mine.

It was a while ago and I don't remember what wires went where really. Don't remember a brown plug.

 

those looks like the honda instructions, which i did use. there is just this one last brown plug which i have no idea where to plug into. ill get some pics up in a bit.

 

It is a ground

 

where do you guys think the extra one goes?

 

im guessing the other brown one goes to fuse box also. perhaps power for lights or etc.

 

well that's what the first one is for. thanks anyway.

 

i have a setup similar to that but mine did not come with anything to the fuse box at all and they work by power from the battery and ground with a harness from each fog back up to the button to the switch on the steering column

 

I was actually thinking about just doing something like that. I'm too damn frustrated to be dealing with this.haha

 

turns out that there were 2 hot wires. -_-

 

my ebay fogs arent working?! If i had a nickel. no offense but save and buy genuine parts. i learned my lesson years ago

 

but are they working fine now? i bought ebay fogs in 06 and had extra wires too, but they still worked. well for like 8 months, then just stopped working, so i got better ones, and are great to this day

 

That plug DOES go into the fuse box as well. One goes to the BATT plug and the other goes to headlight switch one.

This guide seems to have the same wiring as you so follow this ---> http://www.clubcivic.com/board/showthread.php?t=66852

 

I've heard if you add an extra, good ground and basically just rewire it all, they'll work, until the bulbs burn out...which won't be too long.
