I'm worried that since it doesn't specifically say 08 that they won't work. Collegehillshonda.com doesn't have the stalk on their page anymore, unless I just can't find it. I tried looking in both coupe and sedan and don't see it. If anyone knows anywhere else I can get this stalk please let me know.

you dont need the stalk, just install it and shove the switch under the dash. thats what i did.

You can order the stalk and any OEM harnesses you need here.

I still don't see it on the Majestic site. Thanks for your input. I really didn't want the switch under the dash, it'll get annoying reaching down to turn it on and off. Is it possible to just have the fog lights turn on when I turn on my regular headlights? If so how would I do this?

08blk4drsi · 05-14-2008, 03:16 PM

Ya you cando that, you can wire them up 2 either work with your day time running lights or your headlights, and all you have 2 do with the switch is just knock out that peice that is beside the vsa, knock out that plastic peice and your golden

Its right here dude it was listed under foglight kit. The thing is you have to look under 06 or 07. 08 doesn't have it listed.

My Si is 08 and has the power mirror controls next to the VSA switch. It's not like the sedan which has 2 extra pieces you can pop out for add-ons like fog lights.

I'll see if I get that headlight switch. Price is a little steep.

08blk4drsi · 05-14-2008, 09:07 PM

I have a 08 also but my mirror thing isnt next to my vsa, i have 2 of the spots open like you said

Yes but you have a sedan. The sedans have the mirror controls on the door.

08blk4drsi · 05-14-2008, 10:03 PM

Oooo ok i see wat your sayin now

blue08si · 05-19-2008, 12:30 AM

Has anyone with a sedan used the push switch instead of replacing the stalk? I have the 2008 sedan oem kit on order, but after reading through the pdf instructions, I'm thinking I might also order the push button switch from the older kit that mounts next to the vsa switch instead of swapping stalks. I would then like to wire it up to work without the headlights. Anyone else try this or have a wiring diagram?

xtoneeex · 05-20-2008, 08:14 PM

Is there a diy for an aftermarket kit?

What I'm actually looking for is instructions on how to connect an aftermarket harness. I have the one with the single red/white wire. no blue or purple wires like in the oem harness. (Do I have the wrong harness?)

I connected averything as said in an oem instructions up to the red/white wire and the switch lights up, but not the foglights. Since there is no purple or blue connector included in the harness, is that a problem?

Is that brown 2-pin connector supposed to connect to anything?

***vit0*** · 05-20-2008, 08:42 PM

is there a DIY for the 08 fg2?

ivtec20 · 05-21-2008, 07:06 PM

I've got an 07 Si coupe and might get an aftermarket foglight kit with the wrong switch... Hypothetically speaking, is there a way to just hardwire them in with the parking lights? Like avoid adding the switch and/or doing anything with the interior wiring. Just tap into the parking light wires so the fogs turn on anytime the parking lights are on? Maybe splice into the power wire going to the parking lights (and ground the fogs), so it's essentially hardwired?

I would like to find information too. I have a 08 SI coupe w/ OEM fogs installed. But I want to be able to have the fogs on w/out the headlights.
