Charming You're lucky that the wiring was already prepared for fog lights.
Cheers guys
mkymonkey I'm not sure what I want to put on them yet. I've removed the Prelude stickers and given the covers a fresh coat of black paint. I'll either leave them like they are, put badges on them or get you to make some stickers for them.
MessyHonda I can probably find more sets, these were at the first junk yard I visited and they said they probably had more. You guys should wait for Carotman to figure out how to wire his up then I can send some over.
thegreatdane yeah it was easy to do thanks to the wiring. Looks like JDM models already have 1/2 the wiring in them, the other 1/2 came from a car that actually had fogs. Without that I would have needed help.
I'll take another pic or two of the cleaned up lights, and another movie but I think I'll wait until the F1 Interior has been swapped and start a general update thread for it. Should be this weekend.
man thay are BADASS i want some

Hmm, I'll check how I wired mine for the test. It was pretty straightforward.

I'm trying to wire my fogs with the JDM wiring.
One of the plugs went directly in the fuse box, providing power when the switch is turned on. I seem to be missing a part of the wiring tough.
Is it supposed to come with a relay or something?

Woah those are wicked. I'd put a set of those on the 2g for sure.
I got it working with only the parts you can see in the pics, a loom with 3 fuses and the switch, and the bumper wiring. The rest was pre-installed from factory I guess. If there was a relay, it would have already been in the car.
I identified some of the components in your picture to the best of my knowledge
I got the wiring from the later (88-89) cars so I'm missing the yellow/green wire for the retractor.
Here's a diagram I made of the currect wiring I have:
In the Enginebay wiring, all I have is the blue/red wire that goes to both foglights. I'm wondering what the other circuit the switch controls. (the Red/Yellow and Red/Green)
Could it be for the rear fogs?
Also, the white wire comming from the fusebox has a constant 12V comming from it.

I think the other circuit (red/yellow and red/green) controls the relay through the low beam circuit. The switch turns both circuits on or off so if the relay fails, the regular lights will still work.
Any thoughts?

the other circuit probably turns the park lights on&off
Lucky I still have the fogs! No 3g though lol
I think the white wire is supposed to have permenant 12v. It's power to the fogs and they work when the car is off.
The other circuit certainly has something to do with turning on the park lights.
The connectiors with the ? beside them are just the 12v input for the retractor. Another one can piggy back off it, that's why there are 2 connectors. It can plug in to 3 different places in the fuse box, the difference being perm. power, acc power, power when lights are on etc. If you look at my second picture, that connector you can see right in the middle is actually the same, and at first I piggy-backed off that. That turned out to be accessory power, and I couldn't close the fogs after stopping the car :P So I moved it to another spot
I'll try to make sure there's a relay (or not) before wiring them. I don't want to fry anything in the car! The wire colors do match the lighting system on the car tough.
Anyone with a JDM Accord can check this for me? The car is pre-wired so it doesn't even need to have the fogs installed.

I guess I'll just find a way to unstall a relay then. I don't want to fry the wiring in my car.

i installed a relay coming straight from the battery for my fogs. matt i dunno if your car has a relay it runs from the fusebox to a couple of fuses the switch and then the lights. i cant remember if there is a fuse for each light
i never found a relay when my OEM facelift fogs were removed from my car when i did the "strip down and rebuild" But then again when i got the car they didnt go. but i think the bulbs were both fucked, i didnt take any notice on the wiring either. but it does have that little plug with two wires like steve showed us ages ago, when i installed mine, i got the under-dash harness plugged it into that single spade connector on the fuse box that gave it a constant 12v it went to a switch and a plug thats on the cars wiring loom with three wires, one going to the parklights and the other two going to the engine bay plug. I think i have a OEM dash foglight loom spare that has fuses on it i should go check it out
when you do the new video I want to see them open and close. It looks major pimp because they open the same speed. I want to see if they close the same pace also. If you find a complete set with wiring and all post it on ebay I want to bid it up high
hey steve i was wondering if u could get me a couple of jdm things
rhd restoration 2nd gen prelude
So, where does that 3-pin connector goes to?

the 3 pin connector for the fog lights is under the dash by the fuse box on my car and comes out at the front of the car down between the battery and headlight. by its a two wire plug when it comes out, the 3rd wire uner the dash is for the park lights i believe.
that the 3 wires you mean?

Yup, that's those 3 wires.
I wonder where they go exactly inside the car. Does the 2 wires go directly in the enginebay or do they go somewhere 1st?

Power foglights... that's amazing.
Did the USDM cars ever have fog lights on them at all?
