Ok well starting off i know alot of people on here run the ebay fog light kit and there's nothing wrong with the kit but the cheap ass switch they send you. This DIY replaces that with the honda crv switch. Its a cheap and clean looking idea. If you dont like it idgaf and you can keep your cheap gay ebay switch....... Sorry for the shity pictures and no detail in write-up. Im pushing for time and this should be good enough. If you have more questions just post them below and i will gladly answer them later
FYI: THIS DIY WAS DONE ON A BASE RSX....... not sure if there are differences on a type s but should be the same
Parts/Tools Needed
1.) Honda CRV Turn Signal Switch "Obviously"
2.) Phillips Head Screwdriver
3.) Flat Head Screwdriver
4.) 3-4 Ft Of Wire
5.) 2 Wire Connectors
6.) Electrical Crimper/Splicer
FIRST OFF PLEASE READ THROUGH THE WHOLE THING!!!!! IF YOUR NO GOOD WITH WIRES PLEASE STOP HERE AND FIND SOMEONE THAT DOES...............
Ok first you can unplug your battery if you feel like it, i didnt, but thats all up to you, just adding it in there
Next get in the car and look for these three screws under the steering collum, they should come outta these three holes on the bottom
Then take a flat head and separate the top and bottom pieces apart, it wont break there just clips holding it together
Then look for these two screws on the turn signal switch, they come from this area right here, there is a little push clip holding it in once the screws are removed, IT WAS A PAIN TO REACH, so i just gave up and gave it a strong pull and out came the turn signal switch lol
Unplug the connector on the back and this is what it should look like
Ok now grab the flat head again and pop the side console out, its the one with the sunroof button in it, "yes i know my cruise is upside down its an inside joke" lol lol
Pull the cheapo fog switch out, mine was half broken anyway and it should have a green tab on it
Next go back to the turn signal switch pin holder thing and tap in two wires in the top left side "they are the slighter bigger blue wires, you can see witch ones they go in, i just cut the ends some, pushed it in and bend the metal part of the wire inside so they wouldnt just fall out, and when the switch gets pushed in it should really hold it, but just in case i zip-tied the wires to the factory wires so there no chance of them slipping out
Here are some shots of the factory one vs crv one
Go back to the ebay wire switch thing, take it off and you should see 4 wires coming out, with mine i had to cut the two middles wires, i just tucked the switch back behind the dash when i had cut them
Here are the two cut middle wires
Now connect those two the two blue wires you tapped off of the turn signal switch, you can connect them this way to see if everything works properly, test them this way cause if the wires have to swapped just swap them if your fogs are on when on the off switch, but if its off and the fogs are off its wired correctly, then wire connect them together then crimp the wires like this
Now put everything back together following the reverse of this "if you cant get it back together thats pretty sad" but re-read the beginning if you need help, and here are some finished pictures, i needed to remove the ebay fog so i could install my purge button for my nitrous
And of course since this was the HARDEST thing in world to do, once you finish sit back and crack open a nice ice cold beer and relax……. Lol lol lol lol lol
