So anyone elses 01-02 sedan ebay fogs break for no reason? My driver side lens has a stress crack in it already across the whole lens. Also they just mysteriously stopped working out of no where. Bulbs aren't blown, fuses are good, power to the harness but I'm not getting any power to the switch. OEM wiring too.

Mine do too. PIAA makes an oval fog light that is about the same size, I might attempt to retrofit the PIAA fog into the Civic housing. Better quality light + keep the OEM look = WIN.

ok anyone know off the top what page(s) the correct wiring directions are on? i saw johnnydinhs install, but he ended up blowing his fuses. haha

hey man my way is still legit, you just gotta replace the fuse with a higher fuse number and then everything will work fine..

I cut up the harness that came with it and hooked it into my corner lights. The switch comes no where close to being able to fit into the slots we have.
Its really simple if you do it that way.Just make sure you properly ground the 2 points.If not then you will blow fuse #10 on passenger side fuse panel:causing all your dash lights not to come on.
and of course include the 30a inline fuse that comes with the kit.
took me about 10mins to wire it up..longest part was fishing the wire through the firewall.ha

my god what a stupid wire harness!

i just finished installing Lemon's harness and that crap was made by some stupid people. colors for common sense wires are all wrong.

his ground wires were red. the main power wire was blue, the power wires coming out of the bulb sockets were blue, then on the 2nd piece of the harness they turned white with red stripe, then in the 3rd piece turned red, then the piece coming out of the relay went blue again. luckily was able to figure it out by tracing wires. had to cut and extend the power wire, the grounds. its like the morons who made the harness used whatever scraps of wire they had laying around. man what a day.

still gotta work on figuring out how to make that civic harness work with the OEM switch.
