Full DIY 01-03 JDM civic fog lights install

[juicebox00]

So after you replaced your fuse box, did you plug your power source to the power mirrors and have you had any problems since then?

you dont need to replace the fuse box, it's just the acc. fuse that usually goes. the fuses are there to prevent people from needing to replace the fuse box etc

So I have the fogs wired on and it works fine, fog light, high bean and low bean worked fine but I cannot start my engine. Help? Do I have to change the acc relay fuse to a 10a in order for it to work?

Thanks to Brandon we got it all figure out and I am wired up with the fogs. Please with the lighting and effects the yellow fogs produce but not so please with the fitment. Next stop, wiring the oem accord fog switch with the civic harness.

So I have DDM Tuning 55w 6000K on my low beans. It's been working fine and yesterday I had my fog lights wired up. The low beans, high beans and fogs are working fine. Tonight after aiming my fogs and turning off my low beans for a while, when I turned on my hid low beans again the driver side hid doesn't come on. The passenger side works perfectly fine. I went ahead and switch the drivers side bulb to the passenger side bulb and the bulb worked fine, the driver side is still not working. It takes a few tries before the driver side would come on. Now after wiring the fogs I didn't change my ACC relay fuse, it's still at 7.5 amp. According to DDM tuning's troubleshooting faq, it might be a shortage of power. Would changing the 7.5 fuse to a 10 help?

I want to get your input before contacting ddm tuning. The driver side hid will come on after a few tries. I do not have a relay harness, just the hid kit attach to my low bean harness.

The headlights and fog lights are on separate circuits, I don't think that would be the issue. Make sure that the ballast is securely plugged into the OEM light bulb connector. Mine has a tendency to work its way loose and the bulb wont ignite. The DDM connector is too tight and wont let the OEM connector fit in until it clicks.

I check the connector and it is connected tightly. It takes several tries before the bulb ignites. It kind of seem like it's a bad ballast because it's the same when I switch it to the passenger side. Tomorrow I am just going to go pick up a higher amp fuse to replace the 7.5 for the acc relay. I just open a ticket with ddm tuning.

Hmm... well we can do some more in-depth diagnosing when I solder your Accord fog switch to the harness.
