Can sombody confirm that this is the wrong harness for 07 civic fog lights

This is the harness they gave me that goes underneith your dash and hooks up to the button and fuse box. But im fairly certain they sent me the wrong one. Because i've looked at Honda's installation instructions and this does not look like the harness they say i need.

Re: Can sombody confirm that this is the wrong harness for 07 civic fog lights

where did you get your fog lights from?

with the green connector on there, it appears to be an ebay kit...thus probably not actual 'OEM' but 'OEM Style'

if that is the case, then you can only use the OEM instructions as more of a 'guide' persay...

have you layed the set-up out on the floor, and 'assembled' it outside of the car, so you know what everything connects up to?



feel free to PM me or find me on a messenger if you need some help!

Re: Can sombody confirm that this is the wrong harness for 07 civic fog lights

well, if it was like the one i got, it should all plug up... just slightly different...

here's what i did with mine i got off ebay (esuse)



just lay it out, plug everything together that does match up.

then take a look at the plugs you have left...

use the OEM diagram to see where their harness plugs into the car, and compare to your harness for matching plugs. be sure to find some grounding points for the metal C-clip ends...

it should work just fine then.

like i said before, i'm more than willing to help you out with plugging it in. (i'd help you install, but i doubt you even live in the same state :P )

Re: Can sombody confirm that this is the wrong harness for 07 civic fog lights

it's the same harness that i got for my fogs. Brown and white connectors plug intot he fuse box. smaller white connects to the harness running from the fogs. green to the switch.

the switch should light up when you turn your normal lights on.

PM me if you need help.

Re: Can sombody confirm that this is the wrong harness for 07 civic fog lights

yea, i didn't think 8thgen had a DIY for that exact set-up (at least it looks the same)

go with that one first
mine was ebay, but following similar diagrams, i was able to find where the plugs go in the car...not the same wire set-up (so they actually can come on at other times the OEM ones don't) but plugs up the same...
