well right now, the foglight has the reverse lightbulb socket in it...but i took out the passenger side one, to show that one pic...what you need is the foglight switch and i guess hook it up with a power and a ground, it should work...i still need to work out the wiring for that unfortunatly...

oh i see, well i have a buddy in the netherlands that will send me the gauge hood from his VT which has the rear foglamp switch in place of the dimmer, and the entire wiring harness for the rear foglamp, i was just hoping it would be easier......

hmmmm do you think it might be at all possible to rig it into the OEM honda front foglamp switch? so that both the front and the rear come on w/ that switch?

Shouldn't be too hard. Just hook up a switched + wire to it. Thats if it is a constant ground.... Or vice versa.... Don't forget a fuse if you hook up a switched + wire....

Man!
I was looking for one of those rear tails w/ the foglight for a while, but I just gave up since I had so many other things to work on.

Nice to see you actually GOT one -- way to go man. Thanks for the pics
(oh yeah, please post better ones once you use your tripod, thanks)

thanks for the kind words guys...TAG you should have looked at ebay a month or two ago, an aquantince was selling a set of EDM LHD tail light set, they only went for $120, this is for 90-91 center and left and right tail light...i missed out on it too ...i can see if i can get you one...although shipping is expensive...

I've got a stocker fog light switch if you need one. $15, and I'll even cover the envelope and mail.

tight, when you remove the switch it stays at the last setting it was set at correct?
