1996-2000 Honda Civic Fog light Installation
By: Ben Wong   benwong@purehonda.com

Okay, you just bought some cool fog lights from the shop down the street for your Honda Civic, and now you don’t have any money to pay for the installation. So what are you going to do now? You can either put the box on your dresser and watch your new fog lights collect dust, or you can get off your lazy butt and install them yourself.

Now whatever you do, take your time. Don’t do a “hack job”. I can’t even count how many times I’ve seen really expensive fog lights taped to the bumper with one light pointed at the sky, and one aimed sideways. This does not enhance the way your car looks at all. In fact, it makes you look like an idiot. First things first. Make yourself a nice clean area to work in. You want as much room as possible on a flat surface such as your garage. You are going to have a lot of bolts and clips on the floor, so you want to make sure you can find them later.

Now clean up the garage, sweep the floor, drive it in, pop open your hood, get your tool box, and disconnect the ground terminal from your battery . Most fog lights will come with the wire, connectors, owner’s manual, switch, fuses and brackets. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the wiring. 

The owner’s manual will probably tell you this, and I am going to stress these points.

1.Use the fuses that were provided. 
2. Always get power at the battery or fuse block. 
3. Ground is very important. Make sure you ground to the chassis. Sand off paint if you have to. 

Take your time wiring it up. It is fairly simple, but if you rush you may have to spend hours figuring out a problem due to rushing the project. Start wiring at the battery, and make way towards the switch running the wires very neatly, and looming the wire when possible. By now you should have the switch mounted, wires ran to the battery, and a set of wires waiting for the fog lights in you engine compartment. 

Now it’s time to remove your front bumper.   Continued... Click Here!
