Mine came on for awhile until the wire I splice came loose then afterwards it didnt work no more. Couple days ago my fog stop working, trying to see if the splice wires has come loose thats causing it to not light up.:mad:

the green light, that tells you the foglights are on, is always on I just dunno how to make the other white light behind the foglight image to come on, and that sux bad... I wrapped the crap out of all the wires with electrical tape so they wouldnt move freely and would stay in place...

If you did it correctly, the green light should only come on when the switch is on. The white backlight for fog image, I could never get to work. But then again, I have same issue with the cruise image on the cruise button - white light doesn't work. I tried switching bulbs from Honda, but still no go. I just learn to live without that miniscule detail :D.

I need some help I was working on this, and I killed my radio when I cut the civic pigtail off. I switched the fuse in the pass. panel with a functioning one. Can any one offer some suggestions. BTW I unhooked the civic harness from my car thinking it was that. I also use juiceboxes DIY verbatim.
