I am surprised no one is jumping with excitement.. haha.. i can tell you its pretty simple to do.. have to take a few more pictures of the steps then ill post what i did.. BTW i didnt have to use a different switch or run a bunch of wires to do this

Vividsi

I'm interested, I would probably only use the fogs with the DRLS as when I ever activate the brights in a rare case it tends to be overkill. We have some pretty awesome lights from the factory.

...this is probably on here somewhere... fog aim adjustable?

bluecarbonfiber

not sure for your year of rdx where the aim can be adjusted.. i am guessing there is a hole on the underside of the bumper just under where the fogs are to do it.. you would have to look.. i am hoping to confirm with MrMarco on MLK if the 07-09 fog wire colors are the same i can check his to see where the adjustment holes are.. for the 10-12 there is a hole in the grill part of the fogs to adjust them.. mine sit low to begin with so i dont have to worry about it.. i can say driving in the dark rain nights with the all the lights plus fogs is a huge difference then before

Vividsi

well I'm subscribed and waiting for the write up

bluecarbonfiber

sorry.. i was suppose to check Mr Marcos 07 rdx just to make sure the wires match but i ended up getting sick plus having a tooth pulled at the same time didnt help so i havent felt like doing much.. I hope to have it done this weekend i should have alittle more time and be feeling better..

Vividsi

sorry for your troubles, take your time and get better.

Mod Please sticky this!!

Warning: i am not responsible for anything.. this thread is to be used as a guidance and any damage done you are at fault not me!!

with that said let the fun begin!!

tools needed

small flat head screwdriver and a regular size screwdriver

regular philips screwdriver

wire strippers and cutters

about 2 feet of wire I used 14 gauge but 12 and 16 should be fine

butt connectors or you can do solder and heat shrink tubing

first off you will want to turn on the vehicle and turn the steering wheel to get 2 screws out here is a photo so you can get the idea of the location.. the other one is on the opposite side




once removed you will need to pop open the tabs to the top cover off the steering column by doing that take your small screw and pry it in the crack area above where the screws were, you may need to wiggle it but you should hear a pop once you got it. you will need to turn the steering to the other side after words just like you had to for the screws and do the same thing.. after that then you can turn off the vehicle

after you have done that remove the screws from the bottom of the steering column here is a photo of that




once that is loose from the top you will finish prying the 2 from each other BE CAREFUL!!! the last 2 tabs are hooks so you will have to pull up and backwards now that the plastic is gone you should see the top wires..

you will now want to work at the foot area.. sorry i can get a good picture of it but there is a plastic piece that needs to be removed its held by a screw and a push in tab.. there is also the foot lighting that you will need to unplug to get it out of the way.. after removed you will have to look underneath by the brake peddle you will see more wires.. these are the switch wires.. the ones you want to see are the two yellow 2 white and a blue see photo!!



you will need to push the whole cluster off the holding tab so you have better access to the wires.. then carefully cut the grey tape with a razor so you can have full access to the wires.. from that point the blue wire that the red arrow is pointing to you will want to cut make sure your cut is far away from the harness so you can solder or have access to put a butt connector on it.

with that said at the top of the steering column you will want to locate the purple wire see photo!! and cut that as well




so now you have a blue and a purple cut wire

you will want to take your 2 foot wire that you have and (solder or butt connect) it to the purple wire coming from the switch then snake it down to the blue wire that was cut that that goes the wire harness and (solder or butt connect) it after that your fogs should officially come one with out the vehicle being on or off.. so check to make sure once its confirmed Congrats!! you officially beat the fog light system.. you will need to make everything look all perty and put everything back together..


another disclaimer!!! you wont get the dash notification that your foglights are on so from now on you will have to remember to always check your switch to see if it on or off


any questions let me know.. its pretty straight forward the hard part is making sure you dont break any plastic tabs when taking your steering column plastic off

Vividsi

Thanks, I kinda like the fog light notification on the cluster so I'm not sure anymore.

bluecarbonfiber

its not bothersome to me cause i always check my switches when i get out of the vehicle.. i suppose if someone wanted to locate the power switch to the dash cluster, it could be fixed to work but its alot more digging for wires and this is honestly the fastest and painless way to do it.

rdxblue

This is awesome!! thank you so much for figuring this out =)

xakeo

This sounds awesome...but some is going on with the pics... can't see 'em

bluecarbonfiber

ya not sure what up with the pics.. they are in my photobucket but the site admin changed how that all works.. and i cant go back and re edit the links..

maybe a MOD peeking in the forum can shed light on how to fix it?
