Has anyone used the OEM Foglight wiring and attached a third party Fog light on it? What's the wattage that the OEM wiring is capable of? How did you fit the OEM harnesses onto the 3rd party Fog Lights?

I can get a wiring set and don't know if it will work with, say a PIAA 004X (35 watts) or PIAA 004XT (55 watts).

Thanks.

 

The stock fog lights are 55 watts each (H3 bulbs, or H11 in the new accords), the wirring is very typical... at the fog lights there is just a positive and negative lead... cut the plug off for the stock fog lights and connect the aftermarket lights. Its very simple.

Would you be able to get a second wire harness?? (for a 5th gen accord) I'd be interested in one.

 

That's what I thought it might be but wasn't sure. Thanks

I'm sorry, I got this set off e-bay and have been looking for a long time. There was some fierce last second bidding so it seems some a bunch of people wanted it too. It is for a 6th gen. I ended up paying $80 for it. I would constantly check e-bay. It took me a while. Maybe call to a bunch of salvage yards to see if they have one. Even if it was out of state, they could ship it to you.

Thanks for the help

www.accordstore.com has the switch that goes above your stereo, but I'm not sure about the wiring... then again, if you make your own wiring harness, or figure out how to wire to the switch, why would you need a stock wiring kit?.. its just 2 wires.

Plus, there's always the dealer.

 

yeah, I have the stock switch already... I was lucky enough to find one of them. The wirring i'd want just because I like everything in the engine bay to look stock, but im not gonna pay $80 for just a wirring harness. The way I have them wired now you cant even tell someone ran wires through the engine bay, so I am gonna stick with what I have.

Its just nice to have everything just plug in sometimes.

 

What came with the kit I bought was everything except the fog lights itself. All the harnesses plug into existing harnesses already on the car, I don't even have to run wiring thru the firewall, it's all stock. There's also a plastic piece thats made to fit right on the battery mount that has a resister and fuse neatly fitfed to it. It also goes to the headlight switch so when I turn off the headlights the fog lights will go off with it. But the extra button in the dash is nice, it allows me to turn on and off the fogs independently. I don't have to worry about leaving them on by mistake after turning off the headlights. All using harnesses that plug right into existing ports so there's no splicing and stuff. Easy install, no screwing up the wiring and shorting something, which I am fully capable of doing. I'm going to put them in after I buy some driving lights, maybe PIAA 004X's and when the weather gets warmer.

Any suggestions on the type of driving lights I should get. Hella, PIAA, ???

Maybe I should start a new thread on that.
