Ek fog light installation

Route the fog light harness through the bumper to where there is adequate length for you to plug the spot lights in later. Looking just infront of the bottom of the radiator, you will see factory holes that you can clip the cable ties that are included on the loom.

This will help the cable not move around when driving. Make sure you space them out evenly before putting them in. They are difficult to get out!

Feed the loom through where the other factory loom goes, and add a cable tie for support. This is where the plug should come out according to factory installation manual where it should meet a pre-installed plug to join it into the dash loom.

This set up for a NZ new Civic has my crimped cable instead:. Now, turn the car ON with the lights in the parking lights position, flick the fog light switch, and you have fog lights!

This thread will be helpful for: EK Civic owners that want to fit OEM fog light with OEM loom Car owners who want to fit fog lights, but need a proper circuit diagram General electronics info The original post: Well I thought I would be cool and get myself a wiring harness for some newly acquired Raybrig fog lamps. Part number for the Fog switch harness is 08VS if that helps anyone - Check this out below: I have figured that at a guess that the plug labeled 'Plug to switch' is the plug that goes into the fog light switch as it fits in.

All the rest I am unsure about, such as: 2 orange cables with the splicers The single red cable I think it will somehow have to talk to the headlights, as these should only turn on when the parking lights are active. Anyone with fog lights able to shed some light? Any help is appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Posted October 15, No auto-electricians in the house? Guest offset Posted October 15, Recheck the fog light switch by pressing it on and off to ensure the switch is tightly in position.

Locate the fog light plugs just behind the delete panels on the front bumper. Remove the tie-wraps or zip-ties holding the plugs. Allow the plugs to hang down until they are ready to be installed on the light fixture. Remove the fog light delete panels--or blanks--with a flat-head screwdriver or utility knife. Slide one of the fog light assemblies into position and secure it with the bolts provided with the kit.

The fog light bolt holes are pre-drilled from the factory, and will line up readily with the fog light bracket holes. Install the left and right fog light assembly with the three screws on each fixture.

With the light fixtures securely in place, connect the fog light plug into the wiring harness plugs previously located behind the bumper. The connections securely made, tie the wires out of the way with tie-wraps. Insert the fog lamp relay into the appropriate socket in the relay panel.

The location of the socket may be slightly different depending on exact make of car. Refer to the diagram on the cover of the fuse panel to identify the correct relay socket for installation. Re-connect the positive--then the negative--battery terminals to the battery posts. Start the car and test the new fog lights for proper operation. Choose a position for the fog lights by holding them in different locations on the front bumper area.

This is important, because it will determine the light path, angle and the illuminated area. The closer to the center they are, the tighter the beam pattern will be. The farther out they are, the wider the pattern will be and not as focused. The tighter pattern will function as long-distance high beams, and the wider pattern makes a better fog or driving light.

Mount the fog lights into position by drilling small holes to accommodate the mounting brackets. Most Honda Accords have optional fog light areas on the lower section of the bumper skirt, covered by plastic fillers. By removing these filler panels they pop out towards the front , the space can be used for the aftermarket lights, and should already have mounting points directly above them. Screw the mount brackets into position, then bolt in the fog light.

Point them in a general direction, as they cannot be aimed with accuracy until they work. Wire the lights by running the light gauge positive terminal wire from one fog light to the other, splicing them together with a third wire running to the interior dashboard. The light brackets should be grounded to the frame of the car, and as Accord bumpers are plastic, a negative wire must be run from both brackets to a grounding location.

Some lights will have a separate negative wire, which can be grounded. Inside the car, take the one positive lead and run it through a switch to a hot terminal in the fuse panel. Accords have their fuses located to the left of the driver's side, underneath a dashboard panel. Select a non-critical system, like "Acc" or "Radio," and push the lead wire into one side of the fuse's pin. This will complete a circuit with the fog lights, and they should both light up when the switch is flipped.

Wrap all splices with a liberal amount of electrical tape. Conceal the wiring by tucking it into crevices or securing it to the underside of the bumper skirt, and mount the switch to a convenient place on the dashboard panel.

The switch type can vary, but typically they will have bezels that can be screwed into plastic with minimal effort. Aim the fog lights by turning them on and tightening the bracket bolt while they are pointed correctly. The bolt tightens in a clockwise direction, but should not be overtightened.

The fog lights should not bounce or move while in motion, but they might become damaged from brackets that are too tight. How to Install Fog Lights on a Tsx.
