Fog light installation

Hey, i have a 2006 3.2 tl and the front bumper was change for a 2007 and now there is hole for the fog light.
The harness for foglight and the switch are not there so what do you think the best way i should install the wiring. The only wiring harness i founded is at the dealer 750$ because its all the engine so forget about is.
so where should i take my positive for the best job...thinking to take it from the hid headlight but didnt if it was a good idea!
thanks

You can make your OWN wiring harness.
I end up remaking the harnesses that come with ebay fog lights anyways.

All you need is a 5 pin relay, big spool of wire, butt connectors, ring terminals, H8 connectors, an "add-a-fuse", an "inline fuse holder" and that's it!

I'm also pretty sure you can just buy a wiring harness on eBay that's already made for you.

You'll need a switch, though.

The accord fog switch fits perfectly in the slot beside the mirror controls.

As for where you should take your positive, that depends on how you want your fogs wired up!
You can make them independent, by using an "add-a-fuse" to an accessory fuse in the cabin fusebox as a positive.
Or you can wire them to your parking lights, or your low beams.

Super easy to wire! If you can find a cheap eBay for kit with a harness you can use all the parts in it to wire up your fogs. Just get a OEM Honda fog night switch.

Didn't want to thread jack, but I ordered the eBay kit also but the wiring is different from the old posts of foglight wirings, instead of the simple one relay it had before it now has 2. I looked at the oem accord wiring from Honda and is similar but colors are diff, 3 goes into the fuse box under hood which color consist of yellow red and blue, thre are 2 shorter ones with no pins attached jus bare wire, which one is blue and other is yellow. Thinking blue might go to positive on battery unsure of yellow possibly fuse box under steering column, there is also the switch harness...similar to factory also. Help would be great or no a link where this new wirings has been done.
