Installed my fogs yesterday, thanks for the DIY - wouldn't have done it without seeing it first. Hardest part was plugging in that 1 pin connector located behind the washer fluid reservoir (I don't know if I didn't remove something I was supposed to, but I could only fit one hand up there to free it from the tape, hold it, and plug it in - took a few tries to say the least ). Was looking around for proper aiming and found this:

"These fog/foul weather light aiming instructions are suggestions taken from common practice and the S.A.E. standard J583. Some modifications to these instructions may be necessary to minimize glare.

Visual aim is made with the top of the beam 4 inches below the lamp center at 25 feet with the lamp facing straight forward. (See below.)"

http://www.piaa.com/Lamps/LightAimingGuide.html Also has a diagram.

Something had to have been missed...
Did you install the fuse?
Did you connect the 1 pin under the dash?
Grounds are okay?
Wires are pushed in all the way?

I bought the fogs from ebay also and everything was great until the interior harness... I ended up just dishing out the extra money for the OEM harness from HondaPartsDeals.com. Make sure you purchase the relay also and the switch because the switches are a little different and the harness does not come with the relay.

Just wanted to say thanks for this install guide! I got it done in under 4 hours thanks to your guide and the College Hills Honda Guide even though K2Motor forgot the instructions!

+Rep for this!

Okay, I screwed something up.

I went to use my washer fluid this morning, and it doesn't come out. It starts to spray but just a little comes out and it falls short of hitting the glass. I wonder if I unplugged something or pinched a tube. . . . .

Anyone else have this issue?
