Question HELP- Has Anyone used the 2002 TL fog switch with the Accord wiring harness???

I bought the Accord fog lights, that come with a wiring harness, but the TLs fog switch connection is too small. The Accord fog switch that came with the fogs has a larger opening where you plug the harness in.

Here's a picture of what I'm talking about.


On the right, the harness connection is too big to fit in the 2002 TL fog light switch.

Anyone have this problem???

Don't have this problem, but I got my car all apart right now trying to figure out how this "A" harness goes ...
It plugs right into the Inspire switch, but I can't follow the instructions by NighthawkBlack

are you sure its a little big??? because i know my inspire switch i got from Tim worked on my car, and supposedly the accord foglight switch is the same size with the same connections and i have personally seen the accord switch on the CL-S before, on my inspire switch, there was a real small tab that prevented my switch from fitting in the slot, but once i shaved off that lil piece, the piece fit right in...btw the switch goes in from the front of the dash into the back, not from the back to the front, if you know what im talking about...btw the new TL-S switch fits our 1999-2001 TL also...everything is the same...

No it's definitely the wrong size. The harness plug is way to big to fit the TLs switch. And it's a little different shape.

The problem might be that I have the fog light kit for a 2001 Accord, not just the wiring harness. Maybe the wiring harness you guys use is different.

I didn't have any problem connecting switch to my fog kit. I've got 2001 accord kit too. but I used inspire switch though. I am not sure about TLS switch cause I haven't seen it. Maybe you should get inspire switch...

It's the 2001 Accord 4cyl sedan fog kit. I believe the problem is the Type S fog switch. It has a different sized connector.

If I'm wrong let me know.

If the accord switch fits the harness, try to pry off the button top of the TLS switch and replace the accord switch with the TLS button front. It comes off easily by releasing the tab on the top and the bottom. Unless the outer case and the part you touch is made different than the Inspire and Accord switches, you should be able to switch the fronts. I had to do that when my Inspire switch burnt out and I needed to replace it. I just used the Accord switch with the Inspire face instead of the black face.
