By looking at the pic, it shows that it does come with the switch, but it looks like it replaces the switches where the moonroof would go and not the one next to the rear defroster. Is that right???

 

from the pic thats what it looks like, if so then its wrong, i dont know why it would be like that, b/c on the right side of the steering wheel there is only room for 2 switches on is already there and on is for the optional foglights.

 

you can move the switches around and put them in different places... so - i can take the fog switch out of that "pod" and put it in my dash. make sense? i probably just confused alot of people

 

my switch is on the right, next to the rear defroster.

 

For those guys that have the fogs: Is the light output good? Cause my b-day was coming up and I was thinking of asking my anut to pick me up a set of OEM fogs for my b-day.

So how are the fog lights?

 

i love the foglights. but i gotta find out whats wrong, they haven't worked in like 2 months.

 

ive got some gotta find them and ill try and upload them on here. he might be getting a b16b soon.

 

Okay, here's the deal with the foglights. I have experience with three different Civic OEM foglights...the OEM Genuine Honda, the OEM-style by Esuse, and the OEM-style by Depo.

OEM Genuine Honda was about $300 from the dealer back in 1995. Took me 5 hours to wire everything, take the bumper and cut out the holes, and put everything back together again. Now, this was my very first project, which is why it took so long. If I had to wire a Genuine Honda foglight on a coupe/hatch, it'll probably only take an hour or so. What's great about the Honda kit is it's plug and play. No guesswork...if you can follow a diagram, you can do this project. The Honda foglights can only be operated with the headlights. If the high beams are on, or the parking lights are on, the foglights won't be lit. Only if the headlight lowbeams are on will the foglights work. Of course, you can rewire it to be on all the time, but it's not as easy to do as the aftermarket OEM kits. The Honda lenses has quite a few ridges on the lenses, more than the Esuse, and the same as the Depos...this results in a true foglight beam pattern, one that is wide and short.

The Esuse and the Depos were the blue-ion type, meaning they have blue dichroic lenses. When turned off, you can see blue through the lenses, but when turned on, they emit an amber beam (ie Lexus foglight style). Esuse and Depos (as well as the other OEM styles by Pilot, APC, etc) are also available in clear lenses.

The Esuse had the simplest wiring harness of the three. Both the Esuse and Depo light up with the parking lights, and will stay on with the parking lights, low beam, and high beam. The Esuse has less vertical ridges on the lenses, and a much narrower beam pattern than the Honda and Depo. The Esuse has more of a driving light beam pattern that's longer, but not as wide as a foglight beam pattern. This made the amber light more intense in front of the car than the Depo, but at the expense of lighting up the sides of the road.

The Depo has the same amount of ridges as the Honda, and the same approximate beam pattern. The wiring harness is similar to the Honda in some parts of the harness, but it is still unique to the Honda and Esuse.

The Esuse was bought from someone for about $90, and the Depos were about $120.

All three come with switches that go next to the rear defrost button just in front of the wiper control stalk. The Honda has a clear icon so that when the instruments are lit, it matches all the other buttons. The Esuse and Dep have a blue icon, so when lit, the button is blue instead of the white of the other buttons. No big deal unless you're really anal.
