you can get the inspire switch($60), accord relay/harness($100+)that will all snap together nicely.
or you can get the 02tl fog switch($30) and hardwire that to your fog harness.
both switches looks the same except that the connector is different. that's why you need to hardwire the 02 switch.
if you're not a handy person, i advice you not to attempt the corner pocket mod. the degree of difficulty is quite high.

yeah i remember reading Songoku's DIY and him sayin that it is quitea bitch to install em in the pockets. what are the other alternatives? screwing them to the middle airdam?

i already checked the clearance.
these are small enough to fit nicely.
i know it won't be easy...
gonna have to make brackets....i know that.

the alternative is to mount the fogs in the airdam just below the bumper. i mounted mine onto the metal piece in front of the radiator, it's more secured than screwing it onto the bumper cover. you need to take the bumper cover off to do this.

I can add to this thread by telling you the accord switch is a bit too small for the opening, it will dance around in the fog switch blank space. Get the 02-03 switch and connect the wires, while you are at it, make sure to conect the wires in such a manner that you can turn on your fogs at any time (in park, w/ high beam, etc).
