I'm actually sending the fogs to Tim's (OEMAcuraParts) address just because I've met up with him and we installed my A-Spec Lip kit.

He's awesome!

Just got mine in today. So many wires and brackets, I'm so confused.

I think I can figure out the fitting, it's just the wiring I'm worried about.

Don't worry man.

There's like at least 10 people alone in this thread that's buying one.

Chances are, you can get help from those 10 + people how to wire it man.

No sweat! Acurazine members are here to help.

At least that's what I'm doing.

Pulling the trigger tonight!

Thanks^ if I get stuck, I'll definitely post a thread to ask for help.

I have a friend who is pretty good at wiring and I'll see if he can help. I'll post a complete DIY and Video if I get it right!

Do you have any relatives or anybody you know from the states?

Just ordered mine last night and got my USPS tracking (that doesn't appear to work) today.

Should arrive on Friday or Monday, looking at the trend =)

^H11

So I worked with my friend on the wiring today and decided to run it so that the fogs are only operated by the switch. This makes it easier to wire, since you don't have to tap into anything other than the battery. The downside is, you would have to turn off your fogs everytime you turn off the car.

That's cool =)

Can you get him to write a DIY on how to wire the foglights to the parking lights with the switch?

He doesn't know how to do that until there's a good write-up lol. He doesn't know which one to tap. We were planning to do that but couldn't figure it out.

Thanks man.

I think I can do it by viewing that thread.

It's just I'm too chicken and don't know wtf the in-line fuse and t-tap stuff are.

I'm a noob at this stuff, so EVERY wiring step and pictures are appreciated.

Be the first man to post a full idiot proof DIY guide on OEM accord fogs

It'll become helpful to around 30+ members here

Turns out they will ship to Canada I was able to order 2 sets from http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123

I requested a shipping quote tot he seller and they responded back with me to give them a call to place an credit card order and pay the shipping 815-675-040. My only quark is they quoted me shipping with UPS which is the absolute worst to use for brokerage fees and duty with their smoke and mirror fees into Canada usually equates to double the taxes in some instances costs more than the part you are ordering.

I had the foglights ordered to Tim (oemacuraparts) and I believe he's using USPS to get them to me

USPS = cheap but tracking sucks hard haha

Oh wowz...so how was the shipping quote and is it only credit card payment for Canadian citizens? If shipping is going to cost more than the part then I'll wait until I find an alternative.

Haha I know, but I figured everyone ordering this kit would have the same harness and if they've done the install, would be able to guide me through the steps. Plus I don't really know how to postpics yet :-/. I'll try posting some though
