First off I have read the thread in the 2nd gen. FAQ section about wiring road lamps into a 2003 CL-S, and got what info I could get from it. I bought two 194/168 bulb sockets, a pack of T-taps, and a pack of male & female bullet terminals. I know I am going to need some wire, but I think I have some laying around in the garage. I also have an Accord fog switch that I would like to use with the new lamps. I don't want the lamps wired into the low beams or parking lights, but totally separate so I can turn them on and off without having to illuminate other bulbs. Does anyone know how this can be done, and possible provide me with some instructions?

 

Its pretty easy I have not read the write up so bear with me ill start from the begining

Im goin to assume they are 2 wires oming out the Road lamps . one power one ground

there are a Couple ways to do this start with the ground, it can be grounded on the battery , body or frame

next run the power back to the switch the switch should have a power to go out to your light attach the wires togther

next take the the wire that u need to put power to the switch and run it over to the fuse panel on the drivers side and sind a power source take the fuse out and stick the wire in and put fuse back . I would suggest using a power scource that goes on with the ignition

If there is any thing I missed or the switch has more wires than just ask

good luck

 

Thanks man!

 

No problem

 

props MrFluffy

 

u ended up purchasing the sockets from a local auto store right, pretty sure u didnt need specific ones.

 

I got to tell you you should do HIDs, if you dont like the look of the stock bulbs I can tell you how to install the hids

 

lol..ur at it again fluffy... i got hids, but i customized fogs into there...haha

 

^you mean these

 

No I mean these 8000k

PS dont mind the headlights I resealed them after this pic

 

I really want want to do HIDs, but I don't really have the money for kits right now. I'm getting some Ion yellow PIAA bulbs for them for now. Thanks for all of the help guys, I'm going to try to get them wired up sometime this week.

 

Yup, paid $8 for both!

 

It cost me $100 cad

If you want to know how to wire them and install them just ask me (when your ready )

 

Appreciate it man, will do!

 

How much total was the installation in parts?

 

8 bux.. real nice!

 

I used one drill

1 bit 2 inches (4 holes)
1 bit 1/16" (2 holes)

1 philips head screw driver

Parts I bought 1 Hid kit ballast,8000k bulbs and mounting hardwear($100.00 Cad)

2 screws 0.12 cents Cad

Total cost taxes in with out tools $100.12 Cad

 

I'm going to post up a pic of the switch with the wires coming out of it when I get home. I'm hoping someone can guide me through hooking the switch up, that's gonig to be the hardest part since the switch has five wires coming out of it.

 

Just a guess but

One is power coming

Two are power going to the fog lights

One is to Illuminate the switch

One is ground

 

Here are the pictures of the wiring harness from the switch...

 

Unless anyone knows for sure this is what you are going to have to do

first get a test light and go to your battery and test each wire whe the switch is of and on

But my best guess would be

Blue------ Power going to fogs

Orange - Power from an ignition switch(or constant power)

Black --- Ground

Red ----- Power for illumination of the switch

Red with black- This is a tricky one but I think it would ground for the illumination but I dont know why they would not just use the other ground

The red and the red and black also may be both to the fog lights

And the the blue be illumination but I would test all the wires to see wich ones light up what I hope this helps

 

I found the following manuals for the accord fog lights however the colors dont match but the circuit could help:

Also if you know the year of the accord switch you maybe able to find the switch on the same site. Where did you purchase your fog lights?

 

Do any of the CL's come with fogs factory?

 

The 01 and 02 models come with "road lamps" wouldn't even call them fogs, they suck at light output. The 03 models came with inserts. The OP has an 03 model and putting roadlamps in place of the inserts I believe.

 

Do you have any night pictures of the HID fogs. I am still trying to decide between these and the Accord fogs.

 

Ill get some
