I'm installing aftermarket fog lights and have no idea what to do with the red wire that is supposed to attach to my High/Low Headlight wire. It runs from the back of the switch. (Another wire comes out of the switch, goes through the firewall, and goes to the relay.) I have a 98 Accord. Any ideas where I attach that red wire?

 

usually red wire = positive power.

I have my lights tapped off my parking lights. So my fogs only come when i turn on my parking lights. Sort of like a turn on lead.

 

Thanks for your reply, but how do I tap it into my parking lights? Where do I do that? I'm clueless where to attach the wire itself.

 

ummm.........what I did was I pulled out my side marker lights.
There are 3 wires that go to it. I took a test light and started turning on and off the parking lights until the test light lit up and just wire it up to it.

I think its the middle one... but get a test light or you could just hook it up to positive. but I did it this way because i tend to leave my lights on and once I set the alarm the lights stay on for like 15 seconds and then automatically shut off.

 

Thanks for the reply! I did it and it works great. For those of you who are curious how to do this on a 98 Accord, I'll explain what I did. Check your manual for how to change the side marker or parking light bulbs. For me this involved popping out a rivet that holds the plastic shield in the wheel well. Then, I reached inside and pulled out the light bulb. It has three wires. I peeled back the plastic on the red one and spliced in the red wire that runs from the back of the switch. After that, I put it back together and was good to go. This way it only works when the parking light or headlights are on. And, I can have it on with just the parking lights, which is especially important since my normal lights blind me in heavy snowfall.
