Don't be afraid of the eBay link... this seller is selling parts for Acura of Escondido. I have purchased many OEM parts from him (fogs, keyless entry/alarm, and other misc parts),

Ahh sweet thanks for the info :thumbup:

 

I ordered mine through Baranco Acura....$224 shipped.

 

how much was installation for those of you with these and installed by the dealership? im also interested in the oem fogs and found those from ebay from acura of escondido, but i called my local dealership and they told me it would cost around $300 to install (cuz of the 'involved' process to wire everything up). $500 for fog lights!! maybe one day.

 

I have no idea, I installed them myself.

the toughest part of the install was removing the front bumper/nose. The wiring is all plug-n-play. No striping, no soldering. It took quite a few hours to do it, but the install instructions are very good. If you have any mechanical ability at all and a friend to help you don't need to pay for the install.

 

and i would assume that this is the same for a 98 dc2 itr? plus is only the 99-01 teg's that have the foglight wiring present?

in some of the other threads, u guys also mentioned ripping open the steering column...would this be for hooking up the switch there, or would it be easier to get the jdm switch that goes behind the steering wheel underneath the intstrument panel, or a switch that goes on the armrest/emergency brake panel... or does the kit provide a switch that is the best location for it?
i have seen a switch that sits on the panel of the armrest/emergency brake before, wasnt sure if thats the oem piece and comes with the kit.

also, by installing it yourself, are you able to turn the fogs on without the headlights (just for info)? i heard somewhere that if its dealer installed, they actually somehow wire it so that the only way they can be on is if the headlights are on (as well they turn off when high beams are on).

 

Pretty simple to have them on by themselfs Just use a Ing hot and not a hot from the headlights.

I say Ing hot so you never forget and kill your battery

 

I have no idea... I would assume the 98's have the wiring in place, but don't know that for sure.

Opening the steering column cover is easy, remove two screws, then pry the top and bottom halves apart. This is for plugging the harness into the headlight switch (more on that later). The stock/OEM switch for USDM Integras goes in the console next to the parking/emergency brake lever. The switch comes with the foglight kit and so does all the wiring which is designed to plug into different parts of the car's wiring harness. If you want the fogs to come on without the headlights, you're going to have to stray from the directions and you'll be on your own. I'm not sure why Honda doesn't want the fogs to come on without the headlights, but I think they have them wired into the headlight switch so they can cut power to the fogs when the highbeams are turned on. I'm pretty sure it is against the law to run auxillary lighting while the highbeams are on.

See above for explanation about the operation of the fogs... the dealer doesn't wire anything to spoil your fun, they install it per Honda installation instructions to run the way Honda sees fit. If you want to go your own way on this I can offer no further help. I don't know how to rig it to allow you to use the fog independent of the headlights.

thanks for all the info. as far as i know it is against the law to run fogs w/o the headlights on, but it would be a cool effect when the car's parked.
