Driver side tweeter, look for a green plug near the steering wheel column...

I installed them in my 92 and had to do a little modification. since I swapped in the 94+ interior, I had the switch down on the console but the stock harness is behind the tweeter. if you have a 92-93 switch then you can just hook it up to the green plug behind the tweeter. if you have the 94 switch then you can do what I did:

for the brown 4-wire connector under the dash (relay connector), you can either hook up the relay harness that comes with the fogs, or if you don't have that (which I didn't) you can try to find a honda relay at the junk yard that will fit into the socket. luckily I was able to use a relay from an acura cl that I got some parts off of, but I figured out what each wire was for just in case:
BLU/RED = connects to switch in relay
RED/GRN = connects to switch in relay
RED/YEL (2 of em) = connects to coil in relay

if you have to use a generic relay you could use those wire colors to hook it up.


as for the green switch connector behind the tweeter (you'll have to dig to find it), I tapped into the wires and ran extensions down to my switch on the console. I didn't have a connector for the 94 switch socket so I used a floppy drive power plug from my old computer's power supply (the smaller of the 2 types). the wire colors on it were [YEL,BLK,BLK,RED]. since there were only 3 wires that needed to be hooked up I snipped off the black wire closest to the yellow one so it ended up being [YEL,(cut),BLK,RED]. then I connected the following wires from the green connector behind the tweeter:

RED/GRN -> RED on floppy harness (+12v for illumination on switch)
BLK -> YEL on floppy harness (illumination ground, switch ground)
RED/YEL -> BLK on floppy harness (+12v for switch)

the floppy plug works pretty good, it fits in there pretty snug and will only fit properly in the right direction, so it would be hard to reverse the wires.

sorry, that was kind of a long answer to your question.

EL harness eliminates the fog plug b/c EL gauges were only from 94-96.

It's definitely not a fog plug. No EL harnesses have the fog plug. They were all in the center console.

Now I'm in the same situation. 1993 Si, JDM fogs, 1994 Si EL harness. I have no fogswitch plugs nor do I want a switch. I just want the foglights to come on with the headlights, but I keep blowing foglight and headlight fuses.

I tried the trick by connecting the dual red/yellow to the one with the green on it, but then I was blowing even more fuses.

I've searched (and many times) and I keep coming up empty handed. Who's got my answer?

Is there a way to bypass the headlights and just rig up a switch to turn the foglights on whenever I want?

I ran wires from the corner lights next to the headlights to power the fogs, that way they'd come on with the parking lights.

Did you use a fuse or relay or just directly wire them in?

Black is ground, I forget what the other color was but it's positive.

This is just an old thread I bumped up instead of starting another to add to the 400 we already have. Mine is a 1993, but since I converted to EL gauges, I have no stock foglight wiring. When I tried to wire up the relay, I just kept blowing fuses. Then after a few fuses, I was blowing headlight fuses.

I have a 94 with the switch in the center console. I have the relay and switch and everythings working fine. What I want is to be able to turn on the fogs using the switch without the corner or headlights on. Anyone figure that out or know how to do it.

chester, when you replace the gauge the fog light harness gets removed? you sure? did you have it before you swapped to el gauge?

When you replace the dash harness in the 92-93 with the 94-96 harness it does. The 92-93 had the switch in the tweeter cover, the 94-96 had it in the center console.
