Does the Factory Fog Light Switch work with Aftermarket Fogs?

silverem2 · 01-26-2007

I am wondering if this works. I ordered the JDM style Fog lights from Password JDM and was wondering if it will match up. I really dont like the finish of the aftermarket switch, and would like it to match up with the rest of the car. Any help would be appreciated.

I can send you the pin-outs on the switch (factory) you can match those to the switch you have. It has a single pole contact with an on indicator bulb. And a bulb for illumination. With a DMM it would be easy to figure out.

If the switch is a 5-pin, get the Honda Element Fog Light Button...it will work, that is what I got in my car....my car is a 2001 EX....I got Ebay Fog Lights, 04 Civic Fog Light Switch Harness, and a Honda Element Fog Light Button...<--- all f**** up huh? But it works!

Here are some pictures of the Switch and harness that came with the fog lights. I would really like to use the factory Honda switch. What is my best approach?

that looks plug and play?

i ahve a guide somewhere how to hook it up in an rsx... but i doubt its the same for the civic. the switch might be though. ill try to find my diagram.

That switch is a NON OEM one. I would like to order the factory Honda switch and then wire it so it works with the NON factory fogs.

there is a relay somewhere in there right?

heres the diagram that i made for the rsx foglights.. just look at the switch..

i cannot take responsibility for any damage that is done by using my diagram. but hopefully it gets you in the right direction. the pins are numbered out of order on the diagram for the switch to keep the drawing tidy.. but when you connect them to the real switch, you should go in order.

It's a switch, yeah it will work, all a switch does is add power or cut power. It may take some customization, but in theory yes it will work.

the turnout on this thread sucks, did you find your answer?

the oe switch isnt what turns on the lights. It is just activating the relay. my guess would be with some wiring mentioned above, it will work fine. my aftermarket fogs actually came with an oe switch so i know it works
