How to install JDM Fog lights

Hi
Been looking around in google and in every prelude forum to see how to install the JDM Fog Lights in a JDM 4th Gen.

The only thread that i found that helps is these http://www.preludezone.com/4th-gen-hond ... p-plz.html, but looks to me that there are some big difference with a USDM and JDM wiring color cables.

So now i am confused which wiring cable from the emergency light switch i have to use to connect the Fog light Switch, because the wiring color harness of the emergency light switch from my car is:

Emergency Light Switch Harness
Red
Red/Black
White
Blue
Blue/Yellow

and the JDM Switch Harness
Red/Yellow
Red/Black
Black

and based with this previous guide mention with these part i did get confused
JDM PIN PLUG------EXTRA WIRE------------OEM WIRES FROM HARNESS
Red/Yellow------------extra wire----------------Red/Yellow
Black-------------------extra wire----------------Red/Green
Red/Black-------------extra wire----------------Orange

I will be checking your thread right now and will see.
Well if you need help for a JDM install let me know, i can check on that with my car because what i had in mind to do was to remove the Front Bumper Cover and follow the plug wiring for the Fog Lights to the inside of the drive side to check where those go and connect

No worries man - its turned out to be a bit of a ball ache - everything went well but they dont work just yet

I have a few skilled technicians working on it so hope to have a definative install for facelift BB4's very soon

Well i did check on your thread and follow the OEM install guide, just got stuck in 1 part of that Guide i was not able to locate under the steering column the 4 pin brown conector, so i decided to remove the Dash to locate the 4 pin brown conector

i found 1 four pin brown connector blue taped to the loom just above the fuse box - just not sure if this is the right one

im going to have to remove the fuse box and see if there is anything hidden there - im also looking at a blue taped brown pin connector which is ontop of the loom that run under the steering wheel - there is one pic that shows it -its in the last post by mart609 - 2nd and 3rd and 4th pic down if you follow this link.

im sure this is why you have to remove the air ducting

Well based on this image is how a started to connect the Relay with the 4 Pin Brown Connecto, but when i got the part to locate the 4 Pin Brown connector is when all went crazy

do to did get some cuts

on my hands trying to find that 4 Pin Brown Connector.

the 4 Pin Connector that is near the fusebox (well hidden that will be exact word) it´s the 4 Pin Brown Security System that has the wiring colors: Red/Green - Red/Green - Red/Black - Blue/Red those are some of the colors because it shows to has 1 more wiring color that is the Red/Yellow

i Did remove the Air Duct and the Brown Connector that was able to see was a 3 Pin Brown Connector, so that is why thought that will need to remove the Dash to have a better look where can be locate that 4 Pin Brown Connector

good stuff - between the two of us we should be able to locate it

that guide above is for USDM ludes and there may be a difference in wiring - i dont know
