just spice the wire that would go from the switch into one of the wires going to the parking lights. just make sure you use a circuit tester, so you don't get the turn signal wire instead. however, i'd recommend just getting a new switch at autozone, and doing it that way. i'm getting fogs in the near future, and i already have a switch installed for them. I needed a switch for the 3 extra power outlets i put in for my laptop, etc, and had already read that the ebay fog switches suck, so i just bought two of the same switches and installed them both. i'm not even planning on trying the switch that comes with the fogs.

now that i have at least installed the fogs i am thinking i would rather have a button for the fogs instead of running it off parking lights thanks for the info about running to the parking lights.

they are ebay fog's and the fitment was fantastic i would recomend the fog lights to anyone. It only cost me $53.00 shipped!!! the switch and harness was for an 01 but hey all I am going to do is go to this site

http://www.hondapartspeople.com/

and buy the harness and switch for $63.95 shipped and know what i have a perfectly running oem kit for less than have the price of the new one it's a good deal if you are trying to save money. if not then honda here you come.

thanks for the comment. I guess we have similar cars. are you planning on doing anything to yours? My next change is installing full range door and rear deck speakers, tweeters, and amp. No subs and the fogs are ebay.

Dude, buying the foglight harness (if they will let you) is totaly stupid and a complete waste of money, DONT DO IT!! Now, first off, I got to say that your fogs look like they are two different colors- maybe its just me. And second, the wiring fogs isnt that difficult, if you wanna go to the stealership and give them 70 bucks for some wires, do your thing. But honestly bro, take a second to think about it- your paying for wires and some plastic housing. Anyone else think thats a waste of money? Look at the wires, learn some wiring basics, and get it done with some easy modifications to the existing wiring.

they are ion's so they look different colors at different angles blue, yellow stuff like that. the stealership will sell me the harness separte there is a post on this site about it. finally i am lazy and if i can buy the harness which i can for me that will work just fine.

"Look at the wires, learn some wiring basics, and get it done with some easy modifications to the existing wiring"


I work full time go to school full time and workout so i have no time just to sit there and figure it out thanks for your input.
