Default 92-96 Prelude OEM foglight question

I know that the OEM fogs for the 92-96 Preludes are discontinued and hard to come by. I found a guy selling a used set with just the fogs and oem switch but no wiring harness. He claims that the 92-96 Preludes came pre-wired for the fogs. True or False?

i believe 94+'s dont need ANY wiring, i have a 95 and i didnt need any, all you need is the relay, switch and fogs and it's plug n play

Ok I have a 93 Prelude VTEC, does that mean mine has the wiring there already? If so, where are the plugs for the fogs and the oem switch located?

plugs are bundled with your turn signal harnesses in the front. no switch is already in the car, but the male side of the harness with the wires already run is somewhere in the center console...right where the hazard switch is. all the fog related wires are wrapped in blue tape.
(not so sure on the male side of the switch's location because the only one i know of is in a 95)

biggest challenge is finding a the right oe switch.

So where does the OEM fog switch mount? On the tweeter cover or down by the ebrake like on the Civics and Integras?

I never knew that the 4th gens had optional oem fog lights... Does anyone have a pic? I have always thought that they SHOULD have come standard, cause I think they would look pretty sweet.

so again, does anyone have a picture of an oem 4th gen foglight in the bumper?h

yea i do.. my bad about the switch location btw. i ended up dremeling my tweeter cover and popping it in there.. looks pretty nice. considering i moved my tweeters out of there and to the door when i upgraded. here's a pic of mine. (they have a blue film over the lens and i'm still not sure how i feel about it).

yeah he was, dunno if he actually did it though. at the time i liked the idea but didnt like the fact that i didnt have the fogs.
i'm thinking about replacing the lens for a stock clear one since the yellows have been painted and buying some PIAA ion yellows like the lexuses have.. what do you think?

for a 94-96's it's next to the hazard light switch on the console, for the 92-93, it's up at the tweeter
