jdm fogs

[mizlude]

i have a 92 lude as you guys might know and i want ot instal the jdm fogs. i have the stock fog light switch for the 92-93 lude but cant find the plug for it were could it be? and how do i find it thanks guys for any help oh and if you have pics that would be the best.

[absntmnd69]

u have to dig behind the dash....i dont know where it is but its back there

[twokexlv6coupe]

92-93 fog switch connectors are behind the left tweeter cover. just yank that sum'bish out and it should be back there.

i got no pics, cuz the fog switches were diff in 94-96's, but its pretty self-explanitory

[mizlude]

i have a broke stock switch unluckly but im buying one from honda and the jdm fogs are on the way if anyone has pics of this plz post

[twokexlv6coupe]

pics of what?
the fogs or the 92-93 switch?

[absntmnd69]

how about both

[mizlude]

I have the fogs and the switch, I want a pic of what the connector looks like that I have to dig out of my dash. I know one of you have the same switch i do. Not trying to sound like a dick head or anything

[mizlude]

does anyone havea pic of the plug tha goes into the switch or know what color it is? plz

[mizlude]

ok here is a pic of what i can see behind were the fog light switch is on my 92 lude as far as i can tell there is'nt any thing that looks like it should plug into the switch besides that blue conecter that you can see in the pic.

[mizlude]

first off sorry about the three post in a row. But i was looking in the member gal and seen that bboixtc has the fog light switch i have can anyone talk to him?

[absntmnd69]

pm him....im looking for the same connector...i think twokexlv6coupe didnt use the factory switch. not sure about that. maybe it was hotrod but anyways. i just checked my chiltons manual and i couldnt find anything about the fog lights or the harness....probly cause they were jdm but if the harnesses are on the usdm cars then it should have them in this manual. anyways, im gonna search h-t and ill post anything that i find

[absntmnd69]

just get the 4 pin rc-2201 relay from honda, any automotive store or junk yard, and attach it to the socket thats already under your steering column wrapped in blue tape, hook up your oem fogs to the oem plugs, and if you have a 92-93 lude, ur socket for the switch is tucked right inside your driver side tweeter cover and if its 94-96, your switch socket is right by the radio near your shifter. then there should be 6-8 wires or so connected to the socket you connect to the switch. cut the socket off, get a electronic voltage tester thing, and see which wires are ground and hot, and basicaly you sodder the wires to the switch.
this came from bboixtc on h-t

[absntmnd69]

now im gonna say sorry for the triple post but i went digging for the harness this morning and i think i found it. not sure but it looks like a long thin blue connector. i will edit in pics here in a minute
EDIT- this is the connector i found.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g320/absntmnd69/DSCF0011.jpg

now can anyone tell me if this is the connector?

[twokexlv6coupe]

i dont think thats the connector, cuz mine only had 3 wires going to it.

and yea, at first i used a generic radio shack switch, then switched it out when i found a JDM switch :biggrin: :biggrin:
lemme know if ya wanna know how to do the radio shack switch.

[absntmnd69]

first and foremost i wanna find that damn harness...i know that u have a newer 4th gen than me and mizlude and ur harness was by the shifter. ive been searching every forum and i cant find a damn thing on what that harness looks like on the 92-93 ludes. its pissing me off

[na93prepre]

Yea it would be nice to find so it's all plug n play. After I get the JDM fogs I'm going to be doing this. The Fog light switched for the 94+ are easier to find then the 92-93 but look on ebay. You might get lucky. I did. And yes I bought it before I had the lights. I'm just a JDM goodie freak!

[absntmnd69]

im not looking for a switch just yet....im looking for the harness that plugs into the switch

[na93prepre]

I hope you find it. I would go out and start looking myself but im over 1500 miles away from my girl right now... curious did usdm ludes ever have foglights? Just curious since the wiring is supposed to be right there behind the tweeter.

[absntmnd69]

there is no wiring that i see. if someone is willing to take pics of the harness and where it is located on the 92-93 i would really really appreciate it....**** if someone can find a pic of it i would appreciate it.

[mizlude]

wow thank god someone else is pissed abot this lol
and man that is the same blue plug that i found behind my tweeter cover

oh here are some pics of my tweeter cover and switch

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/mizlude/DSCF0225.jpg

with switch out

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/mizlude/DSCF0226.jpg

back side of tweeter cover

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/mizlude/DSCF0227.jpg

what the guy that owend the car befor me did (thank god honda can still get them)

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/mizlude/DSCF0228.jpg

[absntmnd69]

wait a minute....that long blue **** is the harness for the switch?...if so then my day is ruined...i took my entire dash off to look for that damn harness

[absntmnd69]

see if that harness fits in the broken switch that u have

[na93prepre]

hmm looks like mine mizlude... so hot...

[mizlude]

see if that harness fits in the broken switch that u have

when i buy the new switch from honda ill check it out but i cant gut that darn blue plug to untape from the rest of the harness thats back there.

oh and what under plug under the wheel are you talking about and do you have pics? and you said that bboixtc told you have to get some other plug or something to under the wheel to plug into it ????

edit this is what i'm talking about ''just get the 4 pin rc-2201 relay from honda'' what is this. sorry if i sound dumb

[na93prepre]

This looks like it could be a sticky once all said and done

[absntmnd69]

it is a sub harness

[mizlude]

it is a sub harness
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/instal/aii/pages/prelude/1995/16810_01.html

what is the sub harness? the thing i asked about befor or the blue plug behind the tweeter cover?

any one have pics of the plug that pulgs into the switch?

[absntmnd69]

i think that the blue plug that u and i found is it. the link is for a sub harness. there is a 4 pin brown connector by the cruise control unit. is under the knee plate under the steering wheel. the sub harness connects to that brown 4 pin and the relay connects into that. i dont have a pic of it yet but here are some instructions for the install of the fogs. this is for a 95 so the switch is the only difference. good luck. unless i have the wrong harness for the switch, i have all the right wires pulled out for easy access

http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/instal/aii/pages/prelude/1994/16810_01.html

[na93prepre]

lol sticky this

[rich045]

no its not blue, its a green plug, you see that fat harness towards the cluster? reach TO THE BACK, you should feel it, just grab it with your fingers and pull it out. that blue plug that you guys took out is for something else, like your twitters, i believe you just unplugged your twitters, lol

Also you guys need a relay, it goes right under the steering wheel, you should see it, its dangling. and also a fuse.

and i know cause i got the same switch and the harness was chillin in the back for about 15 years before it came out.

[absntmnd69]

the twEEters are still connected. that blue harness was just chillin there through that hole.

[mizlude]

some pics would be nice if you could snap some

[rich045]

i would but my sister took the camera with her, she wont be back till next month...

[na93prepre]

i found a site with the connector info. I will post it in a few (gotta find it again)

[na93prepre]

here's that link

1: that writeup was entirely too long to something as easy as putting the fog lights in :tongue:


2: THAT BASTARD STOLE PICTURES OF MY FOGSS!!!!!!!!


ehh, w/e :biggrin:

[na93prepre]

lol yea the write up was a little drawn out....
to much back n forth to, but all n all I like how he shows pictures of the right plugs. This should make it alot easier for people who wonder, Do I got the right plug??? haha

[absntmnd69]

that damn thing was long....i dont know what he was talking about for 92-93 ludes....the only harness in that hole was the one that me and mizlude pulled out. i dont know where the hell the correct harness is. someone needs to let me know this

[na93prepre]

o so he was only refering to that blue one? He said something about getting it from under the dash would be easier.

[Brash22]

Hey guys, sort of off topic but not - does anybody know how to make the clear ones look like the yellow ones? (Aside from putting yellow bulbs in)

[absntmnd69]

someone on here painted theres....dont remember who but im sure if u search u will find it

[na93prepre]

yes he painted his and they look good. Gotta check my inbox b/c we were just talking about this

[mizlude]

still no pic on what the green plug looks like oh and after im done getting them put on my car ill make a write up on how to put them on a 92-93 lude with all the pics you will need

[absntmnd69]

thank u so much

[mizlude]

did anyone get some pics of the green plug?

[absntmnd69]

no....noone will take a pic

[Dark_Rican]

If you go behind the left tweeter cover and you pull on the right side(left side of your cluster) of the dash harness there will be a bunch of red and orange wires. Pull on those. There is option tape holding it to the harness. Just yank on it and it will come up.

[absntmnd69]

can you take a pic of it please?

[Dark_Rican]

Heres a pic....That inverter silver box was in the way since i did my EL gauge conversion. Thats the best angle i could get.


http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e71/dark_rican13/Prelude%20Parts/HPIM0597.jpg

[na93prepre]

Cool! I know lots of people will be happy

[absntmnd69]

thank you so much...you have helped me with the hazard switch and now this. thanks a lot man

[Dark_Rican]

Thats what we're here for.

[BERTMAN]

when i buy the new switch from honda ill check it out

(copy and paste i cant post links)
this may be cheaper than from honda?
heck i ordered trim from the honda dealer, get the shop discount and no tax and everything is still so high in price.

the green plug thats just chilln on your dash that is it?

[Godofelru]

When I was installing my jdm fogs before I sold my prelude, that harness was a bitch to get. It's really far down, and its just hanging there, so if you find it it's easy to pull up, just a bitch to find. The connector is green and you can't miss it once you pull it up, Just reach down as far as you can (yes it's hard) and pull the thing up.


Thanks to darkrican for the numerous phone calls about where it was.



Ps. I drive a pos saturn now (but i don't pay insurance or car payments, so I'm saving for either an rsx-s or a prelude :)) Just a couple more months :)

[absntmnd69]

is was told that it was behind the speedo....wouldnt it just be easier to take the speedo out?

[TaylerP123]

Holy eff I thought my JDM fog install was hard... Good luck everyone.

[mizlude]

is was told that it was behind the speedo....wouldnt it just be easier to take the speedo out?


ok man you know that big group of taped up wires well its behind them its a small group of red and orange wires(not the ones that are hooked to the big blue plug) and really its just chilling behind it. the best thing you can to to get to them is take one finger and rap it around the big taped up mess of wires and you'll feel it trust me and it will just pull out like dark_rican said.

Ill go take some pics with my cell phone and post them asap

after I found them I felt dumb because I didn't find them months ago lol

[mizlude]

O'kay here are the pics

the big taped up wires I'm talking about

Oh and after my new headlights, hid, fog light switch, and jumper harness show up I'm going to do a real write up on this for all of us 92-93 prelude owners

[Qnz92Lude]

great cant wait, hopefully the mods will sticky it.

[absntmnd69]

sticky the write up? just put it in the tutorials section. btw mike....i would like to see that over at prelude central as well. if you dont put it up....i would like to get your permission to post it.

[mizlude]

yeah that would be fine

Man I just bought a bumper today for my car not knowing the guy cut out the plastic were the fogs go because he had a big interchiller on the it so now I have to some how cut what i need from my old bumper and use some kind of strong a$$ glue to hold it and pray to god my fogs will stay on

[mizlude]

oh and what kind of bulbs go in the jdm fogs because i want to get a H.I.D
kit for them

[mizlude]

Ok I'm going to brag here. I just bought one of the two last brand new fog light switch in the USA and I'll have it by Friday or Sat

My only prob is I can't get the sub-harness any were

Any idea on were I could get one, or can i just make one some how?

[twokexlv6coupe]

i guess which relay you use depends on whether or not you need the subharness, b/c like i told you via PM, i didn't need a subharness and i used a relay that came with some PIAA fogs that my bro gave me

before worrying about getting/finding a subharness, first see if your relay will plug directly into the brown plug under the dash :wink:

[mizlude]

well here is a link to the fogs i bought off ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=230111288268&rd=1,1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=013&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=230111288268&rd=1,1)

oh and by the way that jdm switch for the 94-96 ludes will be for sale just shoot me a good offer thanks

[mizlude]

the fogs are in and looking sexy also I bought the ebay 1 piece projectors(they look like retro fit jdms) and an hid kit take a look


http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/mizlude/SSPX0227.jpg


with them on

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k150/mizlude/SSPX0233.jpg


I'll be doing a full wright up soon for all of us 92-93 ludes

[BERTMAN]

Man if you have the same headlights that I have the HID's are perfect and here is a link to the seller i bought them from

http://myworld.ebay.com/ferrara1417

they were plug and play and they help out alot I would spend 130 bucks and them again

[Paperchasin]

the projectors look decent...if only they used a regular corner reflector instead of that one wit the lines...

btw, wut kinda bulbs do those projectors take?

yeah but they are way cheaper then buying the the jdms and having them retro fitted
