Don't know if this has been posted.... but anyway, I'd like to thank "k2010Si" for the 316th post on http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/lighting/29997-diy-oem-fog-lights-parking-lights-06si-16.html :wavey:
Allows you to use your fog lights independently of parking lights, headlights, and high beams. The fog light dash light WILL turn on if the headlight/parking lights are on. Pretty much just splice and tap a wire from the steering column to the lighting control relay... Simple.
** Do not hold me liable for any damage or injury inflicted in doing this mod **
~Note: The orange wire from the lighting harness always receives a 12V current UNTIL the fog lights turn on when the current is interrupted to about 1V.~
Undo these three screws to remove steering column cover...
I used a flat head to separate the top and bottom portions...
The harness you want from the steering column...
The lighting control relay...
Splice the PURPLE wire with a new wire of your choice then route it to the back of the steering column...
Cut (or splice*) the ORANGE wire from the light harness...
*You CAN splice into the orange wire as well; however, the fog lights will turn on with the headlights.*
It'll look like this at the end...
End Result:
And a Video:
