I couldnt find anything in the search so...

Does anyone know how to make it so that you can turn on the OEM fogs without turning on the headlights? (00 accd cpe)

 

what year?


if you feel like cutting up the wires then its not hard. i dunno how your car is wired. but find the wires for the fogs, there should be a negitive and positive for each one just get rid of them entirely. then buy a switch from your local auto shop (or maybe theres already an individuqal switch for them) if there isits that much easier. run wires from the battery to the switch to the lights, then ground the negitive ones to somthign that is grounded, or right to the battery. i guess im assuming you know how to do that **** but its not too hard. i could go into more detail if you tell me the year of your car, if its fairly new, i wouldnt go through the troubble of hackign up wires.

Its a 2000 accord cpe.. Its wired up factory style with its own switch.. only thing is that you can only turn them on when you turn on the head lights.. I do know what youre talking about, but i was hoping there was an easier way...

 

the simpliest way..
just go to autozone and get those fog lite wiring kit thing..
then wired it up just like an aftermarket fog.
it's only the like 30min to 1 hr

 

take the pos. and neg. wire from the fogs and connect them directly to the pos. and neg. on your battery

 

"take the pos. and neg. wire from the fogs and connect them directly to the pos. and neg. on your battery"

Now why you need a fog, 24/7?

 

yea then he could never turn them off....

 

Ya, Im not looking to have them on 24/7. I just wanted to be able to turn them on without turning ont the low beam head lights.

 

i think the factory fogs are wired up to use the positive from the low beam headlight, thats why they only come on when you have your low beams on, you can just do what everyone said and cut the power wire off the fogs and run your own positive wire to the switch then to the fogs. that should work

 

THIS IS HOW I DID IT ON MINE. EXCEPT I HAD AN EXTRA WIRE FOR THE SWITCH WHERE I TURNED IT ON AND OFF

 

yes!! i have been looking everywhere for a post like this.

Here is ur answer.

The relay wire harness for the OEM fogs is behind/above the steering wheel. Pry apart that cover that goes around the steering wheel shaft and you will see a harness that has lots of pins it it. reach behind it and unplug it. Now, find a yellow wire. it should be in the second slot on the top right side. cut it/pull it out. Put it in the slot one down and one left of it. i dont remember the color. It will barely fit, but it will fit.

That wire that is now being shared with the yellow wire, was the relay for the cornerlights. It works. Enjoy. sorry i dont have pics.
