How To: OEM foglights independent of headlights

[crazyxzer0]

-Thanks to b18c5eg.com for the diagram picture

DISCLAIMER: DRIVING with foglights only may be illegal in your area. It is illegal in california.


Typically by OEM instructions, the brown plug from the OEM foglights is supposed to be plugged into D with the parking lights. If you have a situation where you do not want to plugg it into D, you can move it to one of the other accessory options.

E will provide constant power to the foglights when the car is in ACC (radio is on) or running. This will allow you to have your foglights independent of the headlights!!!


Enjoy..and remmeber obey the laws ;)

In Norway the fogs are only allowed to use in the day (while the sun is up), and ONLY together with parking (city) lights.
Not by them self, and not at all with regular driving lights.

Just so you know, there are places with stricter laws than california...
And, by the way, fuel cost about $6 per gallon here...
Just to gain some perspective ;)

6th gen must be different then, unless your fogs work any time the switch is on, aka you turn off the switch everytime you turn off the car

i don't think it's legal anywhere, but i don't care, i've driven past numerous cops with 'em on with no problems

[NtAcivG94]

Here is the fuse panel for a 6th gen civic. The optioin slots are again above the main fuses. [Click pic to elarge it. I thought i made it small enough. Guess not]

Slot 1 - Constant power
Slot 2 - Power when headlights or parking lights are switched on
Slot 3 - Power when ignition is turned to ACC or RUN
Slot 4 - Power only when ignition is turned to RUN
