DIY 01-03 JDM Civic Fog Lights

you don't need the blue wire so rip that off. basically remove the "green arrow".

"red wire" i believe is the power or positive wire which you hook that up directly to the battery.

"red wire with blue stripe" i believe is the trigger so you could wire that to the corner lights.

i personally can't see it very well so i can't help much. sorry.

yea i just blew a fuse today,somewhere onthe right side, and all the lights on the inside turned off, i think it was the license plate light fuse, but is it because of the way i wired my foglights. cuz it was on for awhile for a good 3 mintes and then out of nowhere my foglights just turned off and all the lights turned off. it seems like i wired too much to the "red wire with black stripe"

if you wire the way i said above, you should be fine. i did nikita (russianred) and also did my fogs perfectly and never got problems with it. fuse blew is because i believe one of your wire isn't securely taped or covered properly. it's basically touching the chassis which the chassis is the ground. so check your wires to make sure it's not hanging out. if only i have another set of wires, i would do a completely DIY but i don't own an accord anymore -_-

alright i got a question. i bought a switch from autozone so what would i need to do to hook the wires from that to the foglights? there is a power, acc., and ground hook up for the switch. what color wires from the trigger would i use?

i looked at my wires again and it was tapped up pretty well and nothing was exposed. but i tried tapping the "red wire" to a positive, my lights didnt work so i jsut tapped both wires to the "trigger wire.

i also replace the fuse that blew out today and it blew out again when i used my foglights. i tihnk the reason why it blew out is because i have other things tapped into the trigger wire(neon lights, indiglow gauges), so i just replaced the fuse that blew on the passenger side(license plate light fuse) that was a 10 to 15 and now im able to use my foglights without any problems.

here are pictures of my installation....

this is a picture of the cruise control plug and i thought it was the easiest way for me...

Make sure you have everything covered well and secure. That does not look like the way we did mine, from the pics I mean. Can you post some shots of the fogs installed on your car? I've been waiting to see how those came out!

blah. only if i have the wires in front of me i would see if i can do it. but for the red wire, it MUST go to the positive terminal of the battery. you can't just wire to the corner lights. first, there's not enough power, secondly, you might blow another fuse.

well i connected it to a positive terminal and it did not work at all. when i connected them both to the corner lights it worked and i had to put in a 15 fuse rather than a 10 cuz it kept blowing. its been a a week or so and everythings still good.
