Fog Lights

samlk · 12-08-2003

Hi all, I am looking for the Fog light template for cutting front bumper.
Want to make sure I cut if correctly. The ones I have are LHF-HCV01
model and on the box is says made by TIOO motorsports. I was reading
the DIY on installing oem type but mine seem to be a little different. Mine
look the same execpt have 3 wire groups instead of 2 that was talked about
in the DIY tread.

Thanks for any help......

Here is a picture of my fogs. Can anyone tell me where
the plugs 1 and 2 go, maybe fuse box. Plug 3 I have no
idea...

Thanks

I just got the same kit and was looking for the factory install instructions (pdf file). Please let me know what you find out and any tips you find when you install your set.

If you have a digital camera take a few pictures during the install.

jkeating, here's some links for you:
The first is my DIY article from my site on installing the oem replica lights.
The second is the instructions that came with my lights, also linked in the DIY.
The third is the installation instructions for the oem fogs from Honda.

I replied to your PM and I'm checking out the pic. If these are oem replica lights and not oem honda, #3 plugs into the fusebox. That's where the lights get their signal.

I'll need a better pic to see how 1 and 2 connect. I only had two harnesses, so this is a little confusing.

Forgot to attach this pic, showing where to cut. It's from the oem honda pdf, but it's the same for the replicas.

That looks like everything that I need. The only part that looks tricky is cutting the bumper out.

Thanks

I just took a look at the 3 harnesses and this is what I think needs to happen.

Harness 1 goes from the left light to the right light, it has two ground points and a connector that joins the two power leads into one connector.

Harness 2 goes from harness number 1 with a single wire through the fire wall.
You can see that this one has a grommet that should seal the hole that you enlarge in an existing grommet going through the fire wall.
This is so we don't have to drill a new hole through the metal.
There is a single brown connector with a blue wire on the engine side and a gray single connector with the same blue wire on the inside. It is my guess that this is a spare wire and not used. I would think that it is for providing power to some other accessory. This way we would not need to run an additional wire through the fire wall. This is just speculation on my part but I check the blue wire with a ohm meter and it is just a short piece of wire with 2 different connectors on it.

Harness 3 connects to the fire wall harness with the brown connector and the blue/red wire. It appears that the other end of this harness provides power from the fuse box. The white/red plugs into a hot lead on the fuse block and the red/black must plug into a spot that sees if the key is on or off.

Was just reading your posts and was wondering something.
Plug in everything as per the above post without mounting
them into car yet, just to test them. Make sure the 2 or 3
grounding lugs are grounded and plug the wire that goes
into fuse block and give them a try. That would let us know
if everything is going to work connected that way. One other
thing, 1 wire connected to fuse block or 2?......

Just got my oem style fog lights installed. Cutting
out the front bumper openings wasnt as bad as
I thought. I had the most trouble getting wiring
harness through firewall, That was a pain.

Thanks to BELLZ and JKEATING for all there help.

P.S. Anyone know where to buy H11 amber or
Ion yellow bulbs at, I already found many site
that sell that type of bulb but not in the H11 size.

Since all of you are on the topic does anyone know? also there are dial on it is that to change the brightness of the fog lights. any info will help thanks

The wiring of the switch is in the http://www.sceniccityonline.com/pdf/civicoemfogs.pdf
listed above. The switch with the aftermarket lights looks the same except it has 5 pins and only one relay.
