Thanks for putting this up! I'm doing my fog light install this weekend, and this will be a huge help.

SEBASCHELL · 05-05-2007, 03:07 AM

I got the Fog light kit from k2motor. I have installed fogs and the last thing to install was a Switch-fuse box-relay harness. On that harness supossed to be two wires (white/red and blue terminals) that clip into the fuse box and the purple wire that goes onto 14 pin connector.This harness had only white/red wire, the blue and purple was missing. I install it as it was with missing wires but the fog lights did not work. I called K2motor and they checked other kits in stock (clear and yellow fog kits) and said that all harnesses they pulled didn't have those wires. Did anyone had this problem?
Here's the pictures:

The K2 kits dont come with those wires.

**truflip** · 05-17-2007, 10:03 AM

^^ nope.. not exactly.. they should be similar though.

irichard · 05-20-2007, 02:52 AM

where did you find the firewall, since you are running on the passenger side?

Great article, thanks!

Double07ite · 05-23-2007, 04:26 PM

Does anybody know if the ones that you can find on ebay, the OEM jdm fog lights are the same things and wire up the same way as actuall fogs directly from honda? also is it just plug and play? do i have to run wires thru the firewall on an 07 LX model? or is there a harness already up int he engine compartment?

take these for instance

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 05-23-2007, 08:34 PM

If you would bother to actually read the post you would fnd the answer to your question. And EBay fogs arent OEM or JDM BTW.

gus738 · 05-28-2007, 06:11 AM

damn i thought ebay lights where over 70 now 50 lol... are they any good? i want yellow fogs also is their a way to pre wire the fogs so that when you turn on the car both these lights and the regular lights turn on at the same time?

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 05-28-2007, 10:16 AM

I have some of the aftermarket fogs, had them for a a little over a month, they seem fine to me. Some peoples aftermarket fogs come on with the DRL, some only come on with the parking or driving lights. If you pick up the right set they will come on all the time.

gus738 · 05-28-2007, 03:27 PM

so if i find the right set (which i dont know which are ) as soon as my car goes on they automatically turn on ? btw is that called drL?

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 05-28-2007, 03:29 PM

No, DRL is Daytime Running Lights. Your highbeams come on automatically at a low setting when the car is in gear with the E-Brake down.

gus738 · 05-28-2007, 03:32 PM

so they'll turn on with my high beams (the fogs) and what brands would these be? or is it a matter of wiring them?

**ImTheVoiceOfGod** · 05-28-2007, 03:37 PM

Which brands Im not sure of.

nbp06Si · 05-28-2007, 03:44 PM

I ordered mine from auto city imports and they come on with the parking lights and the headlights....not sure about the password jdm ones though
