Just checked the fuse...that one is OK as well.
Something is preventing power from going to the relay. Its pouring rain here tonight - have to wait till tomorrow to play.

only thing I dont like is u have to have the parking lights on (turn signals) to use the foglight with DRLs

looks kinda cheesy with DRL with fogs cuz of the turn signals

The way I have it wired up, (if I ever get the fogs to work) I won't have the parking lights on while the fogs are on.

I installed JDM projector headlights with leds and angel eyes. I wired the leds to the marker lights then cut that connection to the marker light bulb. The turn signals still work cause that wire is still connected.

For DRL I will have the leds and angel eyes and fogs on.
...and also by default my tail lights will be lit - which I personally think is a good thing...
Turn on the headlights and everything except the front amber marker lights will be lit.

I just don't know if when I flip on the high beams the fogs will go out?
By law they should.

After this fiasco with the fogs is solved - next project will be PIAA miniature led ultra-white side markers wired into the turn signals.

...and yeah I hope to post pics of a successful project car
for now just imagine an '07 Galaxy grey Si sedan with cool lights

were you able to get pictures viewing the fogs from driver side and some far shot to see how much the fogs emit light?

Finally
Took me 4 hours today...$45 - for a brand new ohm meter - which I should have had in the first place...
Traced everything and found out that K2motor shipped me a wire harness with a faulty relay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got out an old harness from a set of Hella driving lights, snipped off the relay, wired it into the existing harness and voila - I'm in business
LET THERE BE FOG - cause I finally have seen the light!
Now where did I put my digital camera... Naw gotta wait till its' completely done.
Wheels and tires next
side markers
and some red graphic vinyl...

There was no VSA on the 06 models and that is where the Fog light switch goes for the 06 models. The 07 models have a different switch that is installed in the STALK not on the dash.

The hole is so you can use a screw driver to aim the fogs.

A Stalk is what Jack used to climb up into the clouds to save the Goose that lays the golden Eggs.

or a stalk is where you light switch and turn signals are located. You use it every day. Or at least I hope you use your turn signals and aren't one of those lazy bastards that never signals

That is where the Honda Fog light switch goes. It replaces all or part of the Turn signal/light stalk and replaces it with a unit that incorporates the Fog light switch. You VSA switch is where the 06 models mount the fog light switch but on the 07's it is mounted on the left side stalk.

No VSA bad.. But if you do burnouts that VSA can be very bad.
Always turn OFF the damn thing if you want to race or do burnouts.
Keep it on in all other daily driving situations.
