No, Only with parking lights and running lights. Same kit I have.

gus738 · 05-28-2007, 03:11 PM

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-28-2007, 03:25 PM

I'll do that. Should have em up around 9ish.

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-28-2007, 10:44 PM

Alright, a little late but here they are. Dont judge the color of the fogs by the color of the headlights, they are Silverstars (Im to broke to do a retro and havent found an HID kit I like)

DRLs w/ fogs no flash

gus738 · 05-29-2007, 12:36 AM

thanks for those pics they look great did you get a chance to take a pix to se how far they light up the road? side shot and a driver shot and an outside shot towards the road thanks again

OK - I'm stumpted - I have the same harness as the one shown in the large pics in this thread - just 1 red/white stripe wire.
I connected it to a hot lead (ignition on) so I can run the fogs as drl's once I pull the #37 fuse. Ive also installed JDM projector lights....
Problem is the forgs worked at first - now nothing!!!
I checked the fuses and they're OK I have power at the red/white wire but the relay doesn't seem to be getting any...Bad switch???, bad relay???
or another fuse I dont know about???

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-31-2007, 09:50 PM

Have you checked your output at the connector under the hood?
With out knowing all the elements of the equation its hard to say.

civicRfun · 05-31-2007, 09:54 PM

OK - I'm having a bad time of this... I have everything installed....nothing works.
I got the K2 kit and it has only one red/white wire to get power and the blue 6 pin connector. I had it all hooked up and the relay was ckicking so I knew I was getting power but the lights wouldn't work. I removed the connector at the bumper and cleaned out the grease...was getting power to the lights - put it all back together, and now nothing - not even a click in the relay.
I checked the fuse and its OK ----I have power in the red/white lead....what else could be wrong????????????????

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-31-2007, 09:55 PM

Hm.... not to make you seem like an idiot, but did you check if the switch is on?

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-31-2007, 09:56 PM

Also, have you tried it with the lights on, not just with DRLs.

civicRfun · 05-31-2007, 10:27 PM

Yeah....and yeah.....
Saturday, I'm going to tear the whole thing down again and if I can't find the culprit, I'm going to wire in a Hella harness direct to the battery.
I don't need a dash indicator and all the other extra crap, but I figured since it was a lease-mobile I would try to keep it as OEM as possible....Just could not fathom plunking down $225 for a set of fogs!

civicRfun · 05-31-2007, 10:29 PM

I'll post a pic when I have everything working...........sometime this summer..........I'm not a quitter

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-31-2007, 10:29 PM

How did you plug in the blue harness? The one under the dash?

civicRfun · 05-31-2007, 10:37 PM

into the left side slot at the top of the fuse bank

civicRfun · 05-31-2007, 10:39 PM

there's a second one that is for additional accessories (wrong sex to plug in)
Funny thing is I know the relay was getting power originally.....now its driving me crazy that its not!

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-31-2007, 10:39 PM

Check under the hood. Fuse.....

Right there.

civicRfun · 05-31-2007, 11:02 PM

Thanks...I'll try that one tomorrow

***ImTheVoiceOfGod*** · 05-31-2007, 11:05 PM

Alright, if it doesnt work post on here again, I'll see what I can do.
