Aight, I'm one of those bastards with Ebay Fog Lights...I've got an 01 Civic EX..heres my situation...

I've installed the Ebay Fogs, after finding out that the switch and wire harness was crap, I called Honda to find out if they sold a switch harness (the entire fog light harness for that matter) seperately from the kit for a 2001...they DON'T! So, me and the guy came to the conclusion that the 04 kit would work. Everything is fine and dandy now, except for one wire....I have the red wire coming from switch harness that needs to hook up to some power.

A) Do I splice this wire into the red/white wire behind the steering wheel that controls the parking light/high beam switch? (I'm assuming I do)
or
B) Can I splice that red wire into the parking light wire directly?

I'm assuming at this point I only need power to get these running as the actual button is lit up in the car..any help would be great. Its simple I know, I been a lazy ***. Help is appreciated!

thats kool..i kinda figured i'd have to go that route someday but wanted my install to be "semi-clean" if u know what i mean...also on that note, did u use the relay or have a in-line fuse when u hard wired it? Thanks.

Mine came w/ a inline fuse.....the fogs I bought on ebay do blow two weeks after having them installed the left one cracked...wtf!!!! But i'm only out $40 bucks and the oem fogs for my car are like $230!!!! So its all good....

plug in play, mayb ur missing something... me and my buddies just had a problem goin through the fire wall... other than that no problem.

He's not missing anything. There are about 3-4 different kits floating around ebay. 1 of which works OK. The other 3 are these POS kits that about 80% of people recieve.

ive had ebay fogs for about 2 months...work perfectly fine. we bypassed the relay and hooked it up to a switch from autozone. was easy and looks clean.
spent about $45...a lot better than 250 or w/e!!

i was originally considering buying the password jdm yellow lens foglights but reading this thread.. made me realize that im way too cheap for it and would rather pay $40 than $150 + shipping. the fogs on ebay are majority of clear lens and im looking for yellow lens. help would be appreciated! thanks.

 
Rep Power: 319

Rep Power: 247

i put these in my ebay fogs. they look badass!! haha they arent a dark blue but they are for sure noticeable

 
Rep Power: 319

Rep Power: 247

Rep Power: 319
