there is a wire you tap into with one of those tap splitter things.

on my accord it was connecting the red/blue wires. just wait someone here has done it and can tell you exactly what to do.

OEM Fogs, I want the fogs to turn on with parking lights

[vtecmike1]

theres nothing in that thread that shows which wire to splice.
yes its the oem harness. everything in the kit is oem.
you just have to splice the 12v source to the parking lights instead of the headlights i think i just dont know which is which

go see if this works, it's how i did my accord.

here are the instructions.
these instructions are Do-It-Yourself! they may or may not woid your warranty! they may or may not **** up your car! you assume all risks if you try this mod! questions are welcome, complaints are not! thanks

In the 7th Gen fog switch there are 5 wires:
Red/Blk - Hot with Parks & Heads on / In for illumination
Red - Out for illumination control
Blue - Hot with Heads on only / In for switch
Green - Out from switch to Relay #2
Black - Ground wire
**only the Red/Blk & Blue wires are actually hot**

1) You don't need to remove the dash or anything! Simply use a small hook tool, & pull the outer trim on the 3 switch panel. the panel & all 3 switches with pop out together.
2) Unplug the 3 switches from their wiring harnesses. Put switches aside in a safe place.
3) Peel back black electrical tape / wiring cover to allow yourself more slack to work with. You can use scissors or a razor but be careful not to cut any wires!
4) Cut the blue wire, leaving at least 3 inches of slack on the plug end. Strip a small section of the plug end. Cover the firewall end with a small piece of electrical tape.
5) Splice into the Red/Black wire, but do not cut it!!!
6) Connect the plug end of the Blue wire to the spliced Red/Black wire. You can do this with butt connectors, soldering, or simply threading the wires together & capping them. It a personal preference, so do what you're comfortable with.
7) Double check all connections. Plug fog switch back in only & test! do not put back into dash.
8) If successful, wrap all connections in electrical tape. Plug all switches back in. Mount panel back into dash with slight pressure
9) Enjoy!!!

this might be like it to. the first one is the 7gen accord, this is the mmc accord in 06, different wiring. one of them has to be like the civic, but since i don't have fogs can't tell. just trying to help you out.

There are 6 wires in 5 pins for the '06 models:
red/black
green
red
red/black
blue

Absolutely nothing to cut. All you have to do is to get a wire splice and splice the blue and and the red wires together and voila! You've got fog/parking lights!!

since i am not sure i'll stop and let the people who have done this chime in, don't want you to mess anything up. but i found some info that might be of use after searching.

I just bypass the whole OEM harness and button and used an aftermarket one to tape of the battery for better power then taped the remote wire off that kit to my turn signal wire... works fine for me...

I don't know if the wire harness changed, but this is for the 06:
