dannyleee · 06-30-2008, 04:05 AM

Ok so I have searched and searched and read and read all of these pages of this install thread and 2 pages worth of search result threads on fog light installs and they have not helped me at all.

So I bought fog lights from zomkspeed on ebay.
these ones

Before I go ripping apart my interior, I wanted to know if the harness I recieved will work because all the installs I see seem to have a blue 6-pin connector for the fuse box.
Here is 1 of the 2 harnesses (the other harness I got was for the fogs themselves):

anyone know what 1 connects to?? I think #2 connects to the 1 pin under the steering wheel that everyone talks about. is that blue 6-pin that plugs into the fusebox necessary?? was I sent the wrong harness?? someone please help!

EnvyMySi · 07-06-2008, 03:03 PM

wow i dont have that connection to plug in thats wierd

Keith Ngo · 07-06-2008, 08:46 PM

white one goes to you your parking lights and the red is your power

dannyleee · 07-07-2008, 06:14 AM

what power do i tap into though? i'm thinking of just returning these fogs to the seller instead of playing this guessing game.

Keith Ngo · 07-07-2008, 08:34 PM

if i am right the white plug some where on top of your fuse box and the red you can tap into a power the turn on when you turn your car on.

thxns... this might be a dumb question but OEM foglight bulbs are H11(from what i read on the forum) does that mean i should get H11 HID kit inorder to have HID foglights?

nope, you can order what ever you want as long you match up your bulbs size to the foglight, when ordering. Ex. headlight is h11 so you order h11 for the headlight and the fog are 9006 so you would order 9006 HID for the fog.

where does the switch go if if i have the vsa button there?

Keith Ngo · 07-16-2008, 06:12 PM

pop the VSA off and leave it in the back

mharris · 07-18-2008, 07:04 AM

I purchased the same Fog kit from Zomkspeed. The harness at the switch was wired so that voltage would short to ground when turning on the switch. And if that wasn't bad enough the switch LED's were installed in reverse. Four(4) hours of trouble shooting later, moving wires and LED's and I'm up an running. Beware!

djs88 · 07-22-2008, 06:14 PM

Man i got my fog light all mounted but I am totally lost on wiring the fuse box. Can anyone help? I got it mounted on for about a week w/no light lol

jackolee · 07-30-2008, 03:25 AM

okay my question about the OEM fog light

so does the fog lights not turn on when then car isnt on???

i just redid everything on my car and its parked in the garage & its late at night so i cant start it up to check myself.

can anyone answer this for me? cause it didnt turn when i turned my lights on. even tho the car wasnt on

Trav-Is_Si · 08-05-2008, 04:56 PM

Hi, do you guys have a good brand that you would recommend buying? I have an 07 Si Coupe and was looking to buy some oem aftermarket fog lights. I've heard that the K2Motor brackets do not fit into the bumper and that the switch doesn't fit in the dash...

Any other good companies or online retailers that make fogs for the coupe? Thanks in advance, btw is Procivic.com's fog lights have any known problems?
