What's up boys.... getting ready to slap the fogs in, but the guy i bought them from can't find a factory prelude switch for them, i was wondering if i could use a factory CIVIC switch for the JDM fogs? I'd also like to know if the switch will fit

 

the switch is for 1996-2000 civics if that helps narrow things down.

 

ray, you bastard, you just linked that to me, quit post whoring, good bump, but i just posted this FIVE MINUTES AGO, lol

 

mike...

this thread sucks. :clicks back button:

 

yea, screw this thread, who was the idiot that posted this

 

lol

 

Hey guys, what is the exact part number on that switch? I'm gonna buy one right now off http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

whats this thread all about any who?

 

drake are you gonna buy one for me too , the thread is about whether or not you can use the 96-00 Civic Fog switch for JDM 4th gen prelude foggies... and if it would fit or not

 

To my k nowledge the 96-00 civic fog switch is too long if you're trying to fit it into one of the pop-out center console pieces on a 4th gen lude. I looked at where it goes on my friends 97 and the hole is larger.

I installed an 01-02 civic fog light switch direcly into my 4th gen center console 2 days ago and it fits perfect, clips right into place. The wiring is the only thing you have to worry about, it obviously doesnt clip right into a harness. But its not that bad. I can help you if you need it on the wiring.

Hey Munscher, do you know the honda part # for that switch? Also, what connections are on the back of the switch? I figure I can just wire it to constant 12v, ground, and then to a relay for my fogs? If you can post how you wired everything up that would be great!!

08V31-S5D-110B

thats whats on the bag, i got mine off of ebay for about $10 shipped

it has 5 pins on the back... power/ground for the backlighting (when headlights are on) and then the switch itself and the indicator light share a ground


I replaced my 93 dash harness with a 94 when i did the EL cluster swap... so i couldn't just wire it into the stock wires.... i actually had to run various wires, but if you want to know exactly what i did i should be able to write up a diagram

 

matter of fact, i drew one after i got everything figured out, munscher.

 

so... much... work... lol, i'm gonna call honda tomorrow to see if they can get me a switch

 

do you have the harness to plug the factory prelude fog switch in? if you do then just simply wiring to fit the civic switch should be simple.

 

if you cant find the wiring under the center console (i couldnt find any of the wiring that was supposedly behind the tweeter cover), you can use this diagram i drew up:

add .orig.jpg for the clearer image.
PM me for any questions..i know the numbers might be a might confusing.

 

i havent even checked if i have the harness yet, 95 SE, should have it right? hmmm, i'll have to take some shiznit apart on my next day off

 

yea it should be wrapped in blue tape.

 

95 means it should be in the center console, wrapped in blue tape like nak said... under the cupholder if i remember right

 

sounds GREAT, i called honda today, they don't like preludes... they wont even special order parts for them... god knows they're the best honda made, but they don't have switches
