do u have a coupe or sedan? if u have a coupe pm me and ill send u the vendor i plan on using for fog lights. Best rated one on ebay. And they are just as high quality as the honda ones, with GLASS lenses unlike some of the other ebay ones! the button even looks OEM!

the fog switch.. I got VSA there.. where can I place the fog switch now..?

yoshiod9 · 12-06-2007, 10:40 AM

this is the honda dealership i used when i lived up in sacramento. their internet prices are usually pretty decent (the fogs are on sale for $216.48 for all models except '08 Si's [like mine...dammit] when i checked today 12/6/2007) and they almost always have installation diagrams on the site. hth anyone looking for fogs.

i have the same problem with k2 harness.
i cant figure out which connectors is going to where???

jackolee · 12-17-2007, 08:34 PM

1. I cant see what it looks like
2. It connects to the fuse box thing under the sterring wheel.(i might be mixing that up with one)
3. If you look under the steering wheel theres another brown plug under there
4. The switch will goes next to the VSA and if you dont have a place to put it go to honda and get one of those plastic things that holds 3 of those plugs
5. I cant see that .... but just zip tie that down somewhere
6.ground it somewhere under the steering wheel theres a metal bolt that you can connect it to.

tda1337 · 12-17-2007, 10:38 PM

psst, if u have VSA u need to get the steering wheel light stick/column with fog controls on it
otherwise u will loose your power window function

HELP... I just bought the exact same 20-mini fuses that are already on the fuse box but I cant get it to fit into the #6 hole. It goes in about halfway and then is stuck, no matter how much force I use...

Ok, i had the same problem. i dont know if this is something you would be interested in doing.. but i took my VSA button out of the little cluster by my mirrors. i relocated it down where that little cubby hole is directly under those buttons i cut a hole on the top of the hole exactly the same size as my vsa button that is where my vsa button lives now and put my fog switch in its place... bc some jack a$$ thought that the 06 and the 07 had the same button cluster.... ill take pix if your interested...

hmm... didnt the kit come with the fuse?? mine went right in... try a different fuse... maybe one of the prongs are bent... its prolly something simple. go eat dinner and come back to it lol

gui · 12-23-2007, 05:12 PM

kit didnt come with the fuse for some reason, but i bought a pack of em at ace hardware and they are exactly the same ones that are already used for the rest of the fuse box.

is there a simple trick i am missing or something? are the prongs too long and need to be shortened or something?

You have to watch too there are several different types of fuses. the ones that go in the #6 slot are the pretty tiny ones... take one out and compare them. see if one of the fuses that came with that stock fuse box are the same prong length and width.

gui · 12-23-2007, 05:21 PM

bingo, thats what it is... the fuse looks the same, but the prongs are too long on mine.. now i gotta go out and gvet some more
