Ok, that is what i thought you meant but i saw you post 94, then 2004 and then 94 again so i was just confused and thought you made a typo since the 9 and 0 are close together....lol

Anyway, i think a fog light switch from an 04 RSX looks like it would work. Seems to be relatively the same shape, but not 100% sure.

The way mine is connected, the fogs will cut off by themselves along with the parking lights if I leave them on. I never run the fogs without parking lights on. I prefer that look.
I actually tied them into the same wire that my amp is tied into so that when i turn off the car it will shut them off so it doesn't wear down the battery! Basically, i leave them so whenever i start the car the fog's will come on unless i turn them off by pushing the switch That part i have done fine i just the the switch is sooo fugly! I am going to try and see if the 04 RSX switch will fit otherwise i will try and go for the 2003 Accord switch. I would think the harness is plug and play....

is it me, or does the fog lights seem really really yellow in contrast to the lovely HID's? are there whiter bulbs that could be swapped in? has anyone ever done that, or am i just being OCD about color?

No, your not OCD, they are yellow (depending on which ones you get) and i am pretty sure that you can buy different colored bulbs for it. However, check the interior color of your housing because it may be the reflective housing that is a different color, not the bulb.

Without looking at it i'm not sure off hand but can look it up later when i'm not at work, unless some one else can. However, i think it depends on which fog light setup you bought. The JDM ones probably have a diff bulb then the apparent crap ones i bought and again different from the OEM ones. Best thing to do, take it out look at the base of the bulb!

Edit: Just looked really fast and the instructions on Handa Acc. says the buld is this: Rating: 12V 55W H11 Halogen Light Bulb

All i can get ya for right now....

USDM OEM, i didn't have to buy any foglights. my 06' came with it, which is why i'm not sure what kind of bulb, cause i haven't gotten under there to take everything apart to look at the bulb... kinda figured that if someone knew the bulb, i could find a replacement, and then take everything apart when i get under there to swap out the bulbs.

Edit:

thank you so much! i'll look it up now... (even though i should really be working... heh)

Oh, i have no idea about the 06's. Just take it out since you are looking to replace it anyway.....

Just a note, i found it easiest to take out the bulbs if you take out the clips an remove the plastic cover and grille to get your hands down in there. If you can reach through the lower grille do that, but i could get my hands in that far.
