Default fog lights

Hey guys, I recently bought some Depo OEM-style fog lights for
my fifth gen coupe, and was wondering if anyone else who has
them can help me out.

The directions that came with them are really small print so I
printed out the directions for the OEM ones, but the wiring is
different. Does anyone have legible directions or can anyone
walk me through it? Thanks

Refer to the 3 seperate wiring harnesses in the lower right of the following pic:



the wires on the left are the ones that plug into the switch and fusebox. that green plug goes into the switch itself, and the other ends go into the fusebox. i can't remember which ones they go into, i think # 1 and 3 or #2 and 4. I'll have to check my car (can't do so now i'm at work).

the wires on the right are for the foglights. see the red wire? that wire connects to the battery itself. i can't remember if they connect directly or need to be plugged to the foglight wiring. anyways, there are 2 white plugs on that wiring, those go to the foglights themselves. then after the 2 white plugs is the other end of the red wire (it's either a male or female connect).

now for the red wire in the middle of that pic. that is the one that goes through the firewall on the driver side. it's pretty long, so you don't need to unravel it all the way. it connects the foglight wiring to the switch wiring.

well hope this helps, if you need more details just reply, and when i have time i'll go over my car again and give u more details.

White95CivicSi, thanks a lot! I'll try to wire it up later; I think I had the wiring and switch harnesses mixed up.

I got them on ebay and they were advertised as "ion blue," but
the beam just looks like the normal headlight color. Seems like
there are a lot of Depos being sold on ebay right now; I got my
set for under $50.
