    i bought a fuse tap for the yellow wire and tapped directly into my fuse box! theres an empty spot in my fuse box for accessory, it was like it was waiting for me to tap into it! thanks for the video

    You don't need to cut the brown connector, there is a slot for it at the fuse box. You will see the little fuse remover there too. The acc positive on my car is the third from the left. You just need to find out which one is for the acc switch on yours.

    For everyone who bought this recently, the harness they give you is completely different than the one in this video. I had to get 16 gauge wire to extend the battery wire, 1/4 ring connectors for both the battery connector and the ground for the fog light harness, and a fuse tap for the yellow wire under the dash, along with two ten amp fuses, which I
    tapped into the low beam fuse. Idk why they changed it, but assuming it’s to cut costs considering how much you have to buy separately.

    Great instructional How 2 Video, the only thing i did different was wiring the yellow wire into the fuse box. just plug the brown clip into the fuse box, its that simple. works just like you have it wired to the light switch. still video was helpful....

    Yes you can use HID's. as long as the bulb will fit within the housing.

    Super , but may I ask which is better yellow or white fog lights ? Or is it just the color?

  • @nkogliaz
    @nkogliaz 2 роки тому +1

    Also, to anyone looking for what size fuse to use off of the battery connection, a 10amp buss fuse will be fine, you do NOT need anything higher than that, if your relay crapped out and your switch lights up but your foglights don't work, your relay is likely bad, the ones that come with these kits absolutely suck, go to your local autoparts store and buy a 12v/30amp foglight / horn fuse, and rewire it, there are plenty of write ups on how to do this and it is very simple, also, the bulb size in these foglight kits are H3's, as well.

    yes, on the fuse panel there are auxilary outputs. find the one that gives power when the lights turn on, and hook the switch power up there. That's HOW it's supposed to be done.

    there is. there are 5 spots, and 1 of them gives power when the key is turned on, the other gives power when the parking lights are on (with or without headlights) use THIS one for a factory style install. fogs will only come on with parking lights/headlights and can be turned off seperatly.

    Superior how to guide, except for the part with fastening the yellow wire to the ignition power...I couldn't tell what or how is was being attached to but that brown connector goes right into one of the empty slots in the fuse panel and presto - let there be light! Otherwise great job. I'd love it if you made a tutorial on how to replace a 1997 Honda civic headliner bc mine is starting to peel away, and my sunroof sunshade is all ripped up. Thanks!

      If anyone has that issue - don't use those connectors! Seriously! I wired everything up and they didn't come on, I checked every single thing (grounds, fuse, relay, foglamps themselves, continuity everywhere, all seemed to work), then took the connector off and noticed it didn't even penetrate through the insulation of the wires... The acc power wire and the wire you get with the kit to connect it to aren't even the same diameter. It doesn't work. And it's my second time that the quick connector failed me in car related electronics work!!

    Hey guys, I got some amber fog lights for my 97 civic. It was pretty much the exact kit shown in this video and I did everything the same. After about two weeks though, they stopped working. Any ideas? My fog light switch has a light on it, and from the beginning, it always stays on. It's still on even though the lights won't come on. I figure that means the whole set up is at least getting power? Should I check the bulbs? I want to know what is most likely before I start digging in. Thanks.
