Do you have spares in your fuse box?? if you didnt live 1500 miles away id give ya one lol

Where in the fuse box? Like in one of the socket? Or attached on the side in a bag? I don't think I see any extras.

Autozone carries them, same as walmart and lowes has a few

i bought a non-oem fog light from ebay. they gave me a 15 fuse not 20. would that make any difference if i insert it as instructeed?
i swear i am pissed at this atomic street bullshit ebay fogs.. they been causing so much pain in my ass trying to put these fog lights up... first, they didnt give me enough bolts to mount my fogs.. two, they dont give me wire ties.. three they gave me wrong size ground bolt .. and now this fuse.... fuk i swear i am never buying stuff from ebay again...

[gui]

lol yeah the bolt they gave me from vertex racing doesnt fit, and they didnt give me a fuse. i switched a 20 from something else in the fusebox like the door lock one to see if that fogs were working after i installed them, and they arent turning on... the button lights up and turns on and off, but nothing happens with the lights...... sigh... :\

ive been to like 4 places and they dont have em... but i know for a fact any honda dealership does have it. It should cost like 2 bucks more or less...

you can also try places like pepboys or advanced auto parts

any suggestions? Any common problems i may have overlooked? Im worried that I mightve damaged the fuse box slot #6 when i was trying to force the wrong type of fuse in there... is that a possibility?

hey guys i bought fog lights on ebay and it doesnt have a fuse or ground bolt. i bought a fuse at the dealership, but im wondering about the ground bolt. Do i need it? if i do where can i get one?

[tda1337]

ok A) shoulda bought them from eBay My World - assembleweb
hes the best fog seller and they are glass
b) i know he isnt selling clear at the moment but if u send him an email hell drop a few up there
people who have rated him poor, are yet again retarded ratings, read thru them if u dont believe me i quoute" he doesnt ship to PO boxes..." uhhhh READ THE DESCRIPTION DIPSHIT lol

so if ur getting ripped off on ebay, should went with a vendor with good ratings

[gui]

im fing pissed cause i was originally gonna buy em from him.. and i missed out on his last auction by like 15 minutes. and then i didnt see him put anymore clear ones up for like a week so i said whatever and bought em from vertexracing which had the same picture assembleweb had up for them and i asked them if they were glass and they told me it was...

Also, I heard that if Honda knows you did the electrical/wiring part of the fog lights yourself, your warranty is voided... is that true?

[mattellis]

this is a very awesome write up man thanks alot for this +1 rep

So i just installed my foglights today, and everything hooked up just fine, but the lights won't come on....when i turn the head lights on and push the switch, it lights up, but no light from the fogs...I had to clean some grease out of the passenger side pin connector...just wondering could that be the problem??

[efeliciano13]

no cause i just installed my fogs today and i didnt clear out that grease. the grease it necessary to avoid corrosion. i had a problem too, i placed a wrie in the wrong 20 pin connector. just check your wiring under the wheel because under the hood was too easy. peace.

[R18Civic]

lol i just saw your thread, thats what i'm going to go do soon. THanks

[efeliciano13]

ooops. i just realized i cut the fogs out by the exterior shape rather than the inner. if you dont get it the fogs are not flushed with its surrounding. what should i fill it in with?

[R18Civic]

do u mean theres a gap between the fogs and the template??

[efeliciano13]

yeah. exactly

[Keith Ngo]

good write up
