Bumper lenses are new rewired to double as fog's

[Melt]

Anyways so I decided to tackle this project today ... used a how to I found on nwhonda.net, I am sure I have posted it here also. Anyways, I got some dual fillament 1157 sockets from my friends 86 accord (being donated) and wired the fog light switch to the high's, and made it so the blinker uses the lows ... pretty cool.

Fog lamps out, and pics of sockets.




Cut the socket, and added some more wire so I have plenty to work with


Red = blinker Green = High / fog Black = ground


I gotta be more careful with the wire cutter


Got the left one wired up now


The car was dirty so I pressure washed the front grille and rims, and washed the rest of the car ... fuckin CA, I would leave the front plate off but would most likely get pulled











Fog lights on




All lights


I will get some night shots for you guys later

[marked001]

nice

...and yeah, when are you gonna drop that damn car??

[toontowncivic]

Looks really nice. Good work.. maybe I should hook it up!!

looks really good. Keep an eye on the lens, it could start to melt from the light being on too long. nice job though!

[90civicrider]

91EF3ZC has a point. The lens might melt. or worse yet the actuall wire & harness may melt. (happened to my side markers)

i have had mine stay on for a long time now and the lens is fine

this guy at my school put an H1 bulb in his and it never melted

Few night pics, I should try some with the flash off.

And I doubt the housing would melt seeing as I am using a stock bulb.

OMG.i beem trying to re wire my bumpers as fogd for a long time..but i still dont know how to do it..Imma pay some 1 to do it.. and pleeze clear your corners and put super white bulps in your bumper and corners pleeze

[Melt]

Not difficult, you can do it one of three ways

1. Using your existing harness, splice and run a wire down from your corner lense so they come on automatically with the headlights

2. Get a dual fillament socket from the brake light of a honda at your local junkyard, and run a wire down from your corner lenses and hook that to one fillament, and the bumper wire to the other (I got mine setup that the blinkers are lows, while fogs are highs, integras come setup reverse of this stock)

3. Using a switch you can make it turn on independently from inside your car, check out how to wire up aftermarket foglights, it follows the same principle.

Oh yea ... my clear corners were stolen, I will get new ones when it is conveinent for me.

Thats looks sweet, hope they dont melt anything

check ya l8r

[RedRacerCivic]

hey i wish i can do that to my lights, but i am too lazy to do all that wiring and stuff, so i decided to take a picture with my hazards on and good timing :o . Maybe someday i will do it so that it will actually be real cause it looks cool

Here are a couple of diagrams based on the method to do it.

Single Fillament Diagram


Fairly self explanitory ... lights will come on with headlights, and when you hit the blinker the appropriate one will blink, while the other stays solid.

Dual Fillament Diagram


Also pretty easy, there were three wires coming off my dual socket, ground low beam high beam

low blinks, and the high comes on when the headlights are turned on. You can reverse the wires so low come on with lights and high comes on when you hit the blinker, but then they wouldnt really double as fogs now would they.
