Full DIY 01-03 JDM civic fog lights install

Are you using a high powered headunit for your stereo or something? Just elaborating since that same connection is also with the stereo if I read correctly.

the acc fuse. it;s on the drivers side fuse panel. replace it w/ a slight larger fuse

now the switch is lighting but the fogs dont...still need a larger fuse???

If theres power going to your switch and not your light then theres probably a loose or non-touching connection between probably the firewall to the light. Check your ground points also. You maybe connected to a bad one.

A good way to test is to connect a single cable from the wires with just the lights and connect it to the positive of the battery. From there, start touching possible ground points and see if they light up. If they do, then somewhere in your harness theres a bad wire.

now you jsut have a bad connection/ splice. or a bad ground for the front lights

Check your grounds, make sure you grounded to scraped metal, not painted metal. Check all the connections one more time.(at fusebox, inside ground, outside ground, wire going to positive of battery, relay, fuse at relay and bulb connections and lastly check that your bulbs aren't burnt lol.

found it lol had a ground on painted metal lol didnt see it all working now...just dont have a drill to make the holes in the bumper...battery is charging so I will have the drill for tomorrow morning and they will be mounted and everything plus I noticed my switch doesnt even nearly reach to the left side of the steering wheel made me kinda sad and it doesnt fit properly in the rectangle which made me sadder...

to get it to fit properly you need to make a custom bracket or buy an oem switch and wire it up
