You sure did something wrong.

Lets go by numbers--
1> You need something thinner like apaper clip or a small flat screw driver to get it out.

2> Yes leave that wire out of connector/disconnected when you splice it on THICK YELLOW wire.

3> NO.

tmnhs81

And make sure you do PART 1 first (fogs into DRL's) and then go to 2nd(fogs with high's ON)

Mandy

With instructions followed, it is a sure thing. I have not done part 2, yet.

Mandy

Part 2 is just to terminate the wire that was specified right? Then fogs will turn "ON" even when the high beams are on.

In other words, fogs will turn on when you want it on, regardless of light switches.

tmnhs81

Yes, all you have to do is get to the secified wire, cut it and ground the CONNECTOR SIDE of it. And you are done.

Ok, thanks.

But I tried it both ways and it just didn't want to work. Maybe my splice connector was not making a good enough connection?? I'll try another one.

Is it possible that the 2.5 is slightly different then the 3.2 wiring?

Thanks for the speedy replies!

Mandy

Let me see if I get this right:

1. Take out the panel (using a taped flat screw driver?).

2. Find the left most connector. Pull out.

3. Find the yellow wire with blue strip, cut it. Tape the wire end.

4. The wire left on the connector, add wire and ground it, where did you connect the ground?

Am I right?

Thanks.

Does this mod still work if we have done the previous fog light mod?

tmnhs81

^^I don't know. But I'd say go one way only, doing both DRL #1(the other one) and DRL version 2(this one) is gonna mess something up.

If you already have done DRL #1, but still want to this one for some reason, UNDO the other one.

tmnhs81

NO its the right most connector.


4. when you take the bottom plastic cover off there is metal "plate" there, get a screw and ground it there.

tmnhs81

I don't know anything about 2.5. Any 2.5 guys wanna help 5point9limited. PLEASE

or what we can do is I am going to school today, I can print wiring diagram and look whats going on there.

5point9Limited

Haha! Thanks man! I would imagine it is the same setup. BUT the blue clip located behind the ignition is GREEN on mine. Still has the thick yellow (power?) wire. Seems all the same.

If you can look into it, I will be forever grateful!

I did the other DRL mod where the lights stay on even if the car is off. I drained my battery twice and dont want to risk stranding myself.

I disconnected that BEFORE I started this mod.

tmnhs81

^^ Look carefully, there should be a blue connector.

tmnhs81

check this out,it says wiring for 3.2 and 2.5 are same.

I am doing this right now and I did everything like this version says and now my climate control settings stays on and it is going to drain my battery and I have no idea what to do besides put everything back to the way that is was.

5point9Limited

Aaah! I have so much friggin school work and I want to go try again. I will take a pic of my mint green connector.

Mandy

My bad...right most connector (as shown in pic...).

Ok, ground it on the metal plate....

Got it! Will do it tonight!

Thanks.

tmnhs81

There is some difference in wiring guys. Give me 1 day, I'll do a DIY for 2.5 TL and post it here. Sorry for any inconvenience.

5point9Limited

Oh shit! You da man!!!

TLin401

Thanks a lot!

tmnhs81

OK I checked some diagrams today and spent some time looking for solution. ONLY 1998 2.5TL is bit different in wiring(its just diff. color). Give me some time so that I can upload wiring diagrams for you guys.

If you guys are having some problem there sure is something not right.

tmnhs81

??

tmnhs81

You have to get that RED/BLUE wire and connect it to YELLOW ingnition wire.

And GROUND the other YELLOW/BLUE wire somewhere on chassis.

This is the diagram for IGNITION SWITH and YELLOW wire where you have to connect RED/BLUE wire at..





ONLY 1998 2.5TL HAS SOME DIFFERENT WIRING.

TLin401

So all that I have to do it ground the Y/B and this should work.

tmnhs81

It should work. If not then there sure is something f'ed up.

5point9Limited

I beez skerrd to try! Dont really wanna mess up another wire! Does the other wire stay disconnected like the 3.2?

TLin401

Another question it is the Y/B wire that is connected to the fog light switch that I have to ground...correct?

tmnhs81

You mean YEL/BLUE. Only the connector side of that wire should be grounded, Use electric tape to cover the other end of wire.

It is just same as 3.2 but don' know whats going on with you guys. It should work. Just double check that you UNDO the other fog mod, and check if you put the wires back like factory setup.

Good Luck.

Mandy

Nice write up and follow up...

tmnhs81

^^Thanks. Thats the best I can do, unless I have car in front of me and I can play with it a little to find whats wrong with it.

TLin401

Hopefully I can do this tomorrow when I have time and I will let you know how everything went.

tmnhs81

Good Luck.

5point9Limited

Nice! A guinea pig! haha. Can you snap a few pics, PWEASE??

Thanks a lot, man. Goood job.

mklaudt

I know this is the first gen forum but does anyone know if the 2nd gen wiring is the same? I have an '03 TL 3.2. Would love to do this mod. Looking at your pics, I know my fog lights are in a different loaction (low on the bumper rather than next to the headlights.) Makes me wonder if the wiring is different. Thanks in advance.

tmnhs81

^It is totally different than 1G TL. You should check 2G TL section, they have alot of usefull stuff in there. I am sure someone can help you out with that.

TLin401

If you do a search of fog light mod version 2 you should find your answer and if not PM JDM Inspired because he runs his parking lights and fog light 24/7.

Mandy

I found a few clear Accord side markers, with clip and tab to hold them in place. I am ready to order a set, they are not bad in price, $15 shipped. I am just waiting on our master mechanic sensei tmnhs81 to kick us off....I will definitely write a nice DIY...after I am told how to do it....

Mandy

Sorry wrong thread....

intrlude

I actually did this mod, just as described. The 1st part. From what I can tell, no difference. Red wire (blue stripe) out of its harness to ignition wire (big thick wire), connect and enjoy. Also, some of you should check with your local laws. It is illegal in most states to have more than 4 bulbs (projecting forward) from the front end of your vehicle. When the highs are on, you essentially have four lights on, the lows (left and right) and the second filament of the bulb on (another two lights). With the fogs that would make 6 front facing lights projecting forward. Good luck!
