Ok here is my question I went to two different places. The first place was car trix on Tuesday and then installation’s unlimited today. I let installations unlimited wire up the Hello Micro De fogs. When I brought the OEM TL fog light switch to car trix, they said they can’t wire it up using the oem switch. Installations unlimited said they couldn’t use to OEM fog switch from the TL either. So basically my question is has anyone used the TL OEM switch with aftermarket fogs and if so how did you wire it? Any input would be appreciated. Right now i have it wired up using the switch that came with the Hella's.

i've copy and pasted this info numerous times, originally posted by fuzzy02cls... search bc i made a post and so did he with all the info you need.

Thanks but the info i saw was for fuzzy02cl's piaa fogs. It was helpful a litte bit but the links dont work anymore for the switch diagram and i need to know what to do with the wires coming from the Hella Swtich...the wire colors are gree, yellow and red. Does anyone know how i can wire it up to the TL OEM switch?

one wire has to be ground, one wire is probably the lead to turn the lights on, the third wire is probably 12v to just light the switch up. basically you need to find o ut which wire is ground, the other 2 can probly be just wired up into 1. it won't matter as long as the switch is in the off position. does this make sense? i had a few drinks tonight.

I have everything on my PC at home. I'm in the middle of moving this weekend so when I can I'll post the info.

How many wires come in the hella switch? & what colors?

dabusabus1

3 and they are green, red and yellow..

Green, red & yellow? Those are different colors.
The piaa was Black, red, white.
Pin 1 = Black
Pin 2 = White
Pin 3 = Red
Pin 4 = Red
Pin 5 = Black
The top of the switch has the little blue part.
Try pins 1,5 green
3,4 red
2 yellow
Swap them around untill it seems to work right. The most you will do is have it not work.

i bet green is ground (black) and yellow is switch illumination (white), and red is red.

dabusabus1

As I said play with the pins. It will either work or not.

dabusabus1

yeah i figured i would have to mess around with it but i wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone had any input because i dont wanna blow toooooo many fuses lol....but i guess ill try on tuesday.

dabusabus1

Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the TL OEM SWITCH? the link from fuzzy's post isnt working. thanks

dabusabus1

was the white for pin two the illumination wire for your piaa's?

fuzzy02CLS

iTrader: (2)

Yeah it was illumination. With that hooked up the switch glows with the switch on, & the interior lights on.

OK first off i want to give a BIG thanks to FUZZY, without his assistance i would have never been able to do this. Everything was the same as his install except for two different colors. My yellow wire went into pin 2 and my blue wire went into pin 3 & 4. I also used heat shrink tubing and taped everything up to try and make it neat. Also for the wires to connect to the pins of the tl switch i used quick connect connectors but i also used heat shrink tubing to insulate each connector so nothing would touch each other and short out.

So here is the pin discription for the hella's:
Pin #1= Black Wire
Pin #2=Yellow Wire
Pin #3=Blue Wire
Pin #4=Blue Wire
Pin #5=Black Wire.


Here is the pic of the aesthetically ugly Hella switch:



Here are some pics of the install:







Here she is installed and glowing:

Cool!

I really should shrink wrap mine. I used the same connectors & just have electrical tape around them.

Mods....
Lets put this in the FAQ......

Thanks

dabusabus1

dabusabus1

so umm mods can we add this to the FAQ or not?

Just thought I'd add this since I had to go dig for it:

TL Switch Part# 35180-S0K-A01ZA

http://www.acuraoemparts.com/delray/...All&vinsrch=no

And can anyone tell me what other parts I should order? Screws, blubs etc?

implicit

I'm going to answer my own question since I finally got around to ordering:

I bought part #s 23, 24, & 15 in the diagram in the link above. It turns out, you get the lights included with the switch (#23 includes 24 & 15)

It looks like the switch will just slide right in - no screws needed, and it even came with a little piece of fabric glued to the side. (I assume to prevent it from vibrating).

hey guys, if i want my switch to work with the interior dimming knob, which pin should i hook up to the cruise switch?

rp_guy

well for anyone that needs to know

Pin 1 - Ground for green 'on' bulb
Pin 2 - Output (to whatever you're switching; relay, etc)
Pin 3 - Input (most likely a live wire)
Pin 4 - Power for light when exterior lights are on
Pin 5 - Connection to interior dimming switch

i just tapped into the cruise control switch for pin 4 and 5 (same pins on the cruise switch)
