whiteaccord94's 1994 Honda Accord


Much thanks to whiteaccord94 for the tutorial on converting the Bumper Lights to "Fog Lights".

bumper light to fog light conversion
tools: wires (red and black preferably), electric tape, long screw driver.

time:1 hr

warning: this mod is for only 94-95 accords. 96-97 accords have different electrical setups.
Note: drawback of this mod is that now your bumper lights will go on with your parking lights, and now your primary signals are at your corners. You will also have hyper blinkers.

1. Unscrew the corner lense. Remove the two bulbs from the housing.
2. determine which of the two bulbs are parking lights (turns on your parking lights, the one that lights up is it).
3. Cut the live wire (usually red) from the parking bulb atleast 3 inches from the harness.
4.Make sure the live wire does not touch any part of the metal of the car (disconnect the battery if you didnt already).
5. Now remove the bumper lens from the car. Determine the live wire (usually green).
6. Cut the live wire about 3 inches from the harness.
7. Connect the live wire of the bumper lights leading from the harness to the other end of the corner wire.
8. Connect the live wire of the corner lights leading from the harness to the bumper lights.
9. Secure the connections. turn on parking lights to see if it works? if not check all connections and procedures. If it works, then proceed to the other side with the same instructions.

WARNING: Messing with the electrical system of the car is very dangerous. If anything shorts, it will be a pain in the ass to repair. Make sure you know what you're doing.
