DIY- wiring foglights to turn on/off with parking lights

Good DIY, I had my lil bro do it for me since it stop working and I cant find the cause of it. Funny thing is that it flashes with the OEM alarm whenever I beep it. :duckhunt:

i dont like the remote (plus mine shorted out from a rainy day). I like the reassurance of locking my own doors and knowing they're locked.

The diy is well done. is this possible to with universal fogs? I ALWAYS forget to turn mine off.

i dont see why not. universal fogs have a positive and negative wire just like oems. ground the negatives and connect the positives to your parking lights.

Nice write up, I'll be doing this with my fog lights soon. I'll definitely have to upgrade the fuse.

I didn't have to cut and splice any wires. When I bought the 01-03 civic fogs, it came with the complete wiring. There is a plug that goes under the steering column. Looks like the SRS plug if you know what I mean.
I will post a pic of it soon. It will turn on and off with your parking lights(the one that is the signals).

my only complaint is that you should have soldered the wire's and used shrink wrap to cover them instead of using the twisty cap.

yeah i didnt wanna have to deal with goin through the firewall, just wanted to keep it all under the hood and not have that big wiring harness.

i dont have a soldering iron or shrink wrap. i ended upditching the twisty cap about a month ago and crimped the wires together.
