I did not write this.



"Oem Honda Civic Fog lights with parking lights


I made this guide because I did it myself and have done it for many others. It has worked for me and should work for you but I do not take any responsibility for any mistake made or result of performing this modification.

With that said lets get started.


Needed:

Small Jewelers flathead screwdriver

10 amp mini automotive fuse

It is HIGHLY recommended that you unplug the negative terminal of you battery prior to any electrical work on your car. Before you do this remember that this will reset most car stereos memory and will require the key code to get back on!!!

Section one. Fog lights already installed (if not installed skip to step 5)


1. First thing you got to do is take apart the knee bolster on the bottom side of the dash. A Phillips screw up above the power mirror control and one on each bottom corner should get the big piece off (warning the upper right corner is clipped in so it will take a little tugging to get off. Pull the panel away and make sure to unplug the wiring harnesses for the lights and mirrors.

2. Now you need to remove the plastic cover over the steering column. A few screws should take care of that. Then you will need to GENTLY pull off the bottom of the column. This will be a bit tricky because there are plastic clips locking together. I pushed in towards the center to get most of them to pop apart but they are easily broken.

3. Ok now that is off you should see something like this: Now you need to pull these 2 plugs out. They do have a plastic hook on them so you will need to press it to get them out.

4. Once you have them out unwrap the tape around the wires between the 2 plugs so it looks like this:

5. Now you need to grab your jewelers screw driver to swap some wires. To get them to come out you will need to insert the screw driver and unclip the little plastic tab holding the metal plug in.

6. So first undo the wires that are long and going into a wire loom, so you should end up with this:

7. Now with the harness you need to remove one of the short wires. Do only the one circled in the diagram, the one on the right is clearly marked, it is red with a green stripe. Just remove that one wire completely from both sides.

8. Now take the 2 long wires that you took out in step 6 and put them in the place of the red and green wire you just removed in step 7.

9. Now put the red and green wire in the empty spot in the harnesses left by the long red ones.

10. Now go to your inside fuse panel, you can’t miss it with the knee bolster off and find the tail light fuse. It should be 5 amps. Remove it and replace it with a 10 amp fuse.

11. Plug the harness back in and reconnect the battery (if you were smart enough to do so). Give it a test and now when you have your parking lights on you should be able to have your fog lights on. This also includes regular low beam and high beam.

12. Reassemble your car and enjoy!!!"

LOL its simple once you get in there and see what it's talkn bout... Try it or pay someone else to do it for you...

yea i did city lights before, its kinda ghetto but wat the hell, here you go

what did was cut back some wires from the cornerlight wires.
the power is red and the other is ground,black.
for the city lights you don't have to put fuses, but for the fogs you do
hook up the power wires from the city lights and fogs to the corners, then hook up the ground from the city light to the corner(don't worry the city lights won't blink.
and then just hook up the fog ground to a ground on the car

dude you can just buy the OEM honda fog light switch

That still does not allow you to use the fogs with out your headlights on. I *think* that's what he's trying to do....

[Sentra]

yeah i was trying to find out for a friend...my sentra was SOO easy...and this is a little different...thanks alot tho.

[IntegraXTR]

not sure how my friend did it, but he can use his fogs without the headlights on, just a press of the button. Maybe its wired different but he has the oem fog switch and it turns on without the headlights.
