Woooow i sure haven looked at this one... First things first... We dont have dash fusebox(options/acc) so wat do i use as power?

BiG ChOr!Zo · 11-05-2009, 11:48 PM

run a extra wire on the positive battery terminal...!!!

SoB NiG · 11-05-2009, 11:51 PM

I was tryna avvoid that but ight thanks ill get crackn on that tomorrow.... Thanks yo!

BiG ChOr!Zo · 11-05-2009, 11:55 PM

you can also tap into this SOB with the dark black wire on the bottom right corner...!!!

My_EFsedan · 11-06-2009, 12:12 AM

or you can just get power from the accessory terminals on the under dash fuse box

SoB NiG · 11-07-2009, 12:11 AM

Thanks for the links... So i wired my lights up n everythin just like it says... Now my problem its i keep popping fuses... Anyone can help me with that?

crx_si-r · 11-07-2009, 12:21 AM

dont run it off the battery! there is a safer and cleaner more OEM option. to have them run the CORRECT WAY, do this.
1. take off steering column cover
2. go to the headlight switch
3. look at the ONLY open slot
4. connect your power wire there

this way when you turn your headlights on, they fog lights will also turn on as they are supposed to. unless of course you have the button turned off

the way kojak has his diagram is a bit confusing seeing as none of the pin outs in his diagram match any of the OEM switches that i have

SoB NiG · 11-07-2009, 01:19 AM

Exactally wat im sayin like i have the prelude fog light switch and is a 2 wire so there is no ground for it... And his diagram doesnt really doesnt help for my switch.. crx si-r do you have a diagram oooor write up for the 2 wire or the headlight switch???

Ldo · 11-07-2009, 03:38 AM

Unless you must have the real Honda switch, just get a 3-prong switch from Radio Shack or something and not have to deal with the Prelude switch.

Diagram above isn't that much different than the one you saw in the other thread. Basically the fogs get power from the battery directly or a constant 12V source under the dash to light up. This power source is interrupted by the relay and will only close the circuit if there's a signal that triggers this relay, and this signal comes from your headlight when it's turned to On. The switch is there only to control this triggering signal to the relay.

So, headlights Off, no triggering signal, fogs get no power. Headlights On, but switch is Off, fogs get no power. Headlights On, switch On, circuit is closed, fogs get power.

crx_si-r · 11-07-2009, 08:14 AM

from what i remember the prelude fog light switch has 2 built in/connected together. and i don't remember there being a 2 wire set up.

LDO:
i hope your not saying to tap into the low beam, because doing that will dim both lights making it utterly pointless to run fog lights. and the usdm oem fog light switch is also an 3 prong and i see it pointless to use 2 fuses, why when you only need 1?

SoB NiG · 11-07-2009, 11:17 AM

Yeah the fog switch for the lude has 2 wires and the one under has 4 wires....

You're tapping in the low beam to trigger the relay. Some people leave the foglight switch to On constantly, so when the low beams are on, the fogs are aso on. As to that causing the lights to dim, I have to check and see since it's not really powering the fogs. You're right about the 2 fuses, the 2nd fuse near the headlight in my diagram can probably be omitted since the underdash fuse is already there for the same protection.

crx_si-r · 11-07-2009, 02:53 PM

You do not need to tap the low beam headlights. There is already a Slot available for the fog lights in the head light switch.

SoB NiG · 11-09-2009, 02:08 PM

So does anyone have a diagram for the switch as the trigger?

SoB NiG · 11-09-2009, 10:55 PM

bump... anyone?

SoB NiG · 11-10-2009, 01:55 PM

Bump.. Why did everyone get quiet for?

SoB NiG · 11-11-2009, 11:17 PM

Since no one is really sayin anything else.. Can i run a power wire from the trigger in the head light switch to a fuse than to the light and ground the other side??
