hey guys, let me begin by saying i suck at wiring lol with that being said im wondering if i can get this oem fog switch to work with an aftermarket led drls. the leds came with the black/red wire only. im thinking harness maybe or can i just tap into some of the pins ? BTW this a switch from an '04-06 Accord i picked up from ebay .

Yes, all you will need to do is attach the trigger wire from the switch to a relay, then wire the relay to power the DRLs.

Thank you, so it is possible. Next questions, how do I find the trigger wire and what type of relay do I need n where can I get one? Last one, will the light work on the switch when activated?

I'm assuming you have the harness for this switch?

The trigger wire, IIRC, is the green wire on the harness. If not, you're going to have to do a pin-out, I might have a spare lying around. The light will work on the switch if you wire it that way. A standard SPST relay from radio schack will do.

Wow, so much valuable info . I appreciate it , and no I don't have the harness just switch. I knew I should've gotten it lol

If you can, get the harness. You had better be pretty damn good with a soldering iron otherwise.

This is how I did mine. I post this pic all the time, and not sure if anyone cares. However, it works great for me. With the switch "on", it just powers the stock fuse. Meaning, when the switch is on, it's stock operation. Except, the first relay (middle relay in the pic) makes the DRLs turn off when I turn my parking lights on. This way, if you park, the DRLs don't come on until you turn your lights all the way off. When the switch is off, the DRLs are just off.

Nice breakdown, ok I kinda got it lol but I noticed in ur pic u have "FUSE BOX DRL #4" is this only if ur car has DRLs already or not? Cuz mine doesn't have drls. I bought Audi style leds (I know , i know lol) it should still work right with ur diagram? And as far as soldering , I suck lol but practice makes perfect haha

Oh yeah, you'll be fine. Just run 87 to your DRLs, and 30 to your battery (from the relay on the left).

On this pic, which end of the OEM fog switch is up? "12v out" is on top? Thanks
