red with a terminal is positive,
black with a terminal is your common ground so you ground it anywhere in the chassis/metal.
The two spade connectors coming out of the thick black wire goes to your 9006/h11 stock harness.

And if anyone can come up with a better solution (i.e. a male H11 plug) than the stupid spade connectors ghetto-rigged into the stock plug, I will pay them.

Stock harness only has one plug. I have HID in mine and Im using the stock harness. You will have to branch off of the POS and Neg for your harness

Yah, that's wiring that goes inside the car as I recall. Have you followed the fog installation instructions?

yeah I follow diy install fog but it's not the same wire at all and try to follow the honda instruction it's different also. I went to A place where they install fog and the guy coudn't figure it out. If I plug the two spade thing to the brown single wire behind the reservoir how my fog are gonna work? are they gonna be always on?? If Im able to work the switch thing can you turn the fog whenever you want or they come one when you have you're low beams on???

the guy who install my fog plug them directly with my low beam so whenever I turn my low beam on the fog come on and when I turn my hig beam on the fog still stay on. So it's fog+low beam+high beam at the same time, is tihs gonna drain too much power???

because pretty soon i'll have my retrofit headlight so it would be s2000 low beam+es300 hid fog+ hir headlight. is it bad to have them all on at the same time?

Not bad or a drain on the power. It just may well be illegal in the States, were you to visit.

What have you installed already? Which kit did you buy?

The way I have mine is Stock harness, I just hooked the ballast wires to the wires on the harness. I havn't blown any fuses. It's probably not the greatest way, but there is a relay pulling extra power from somewhere.
