wiring up fog lights

Your using UKDM fogs and not the V2 JDM replica's from the states?

Yes UKDM fogs plus harnesses. Every resource I come across on the net is either JDM or USDM where the switch harness is a different configuration from the one I have.

I dont think the harness should be different concidering all Ludes are built in Japan and the lights themselves are essentially the same. Im not talking through experience, its just logical, however who knows

If your really having problems I would just do your run your own wire and sidesetp the whole issue. It will be the esiest way if you are struggling to find the orange wire. TBH I dont know of anyone to have found and used the correct orange wire.

You would have thought that they would be the same hence the reason I was happy to use the JDM instructions

but unfortunately that aint the case.

This link shows the fogs, harness etc that I bought (the switch harness is on the right, the two orange connectors are next to the in line fuse:

This link shows the JDM harnesses:

On page 2 item 1 is the switch harness with only 1 orange connector.

Looks like I will have to either take the car to honda or have another go at this myself

Have you got the internal stuff in place bar connecting the orange wires?? Do you have a test lamp or miltimeter?

One of the Orange wires is connected up. The fog lights are wired up exactly like the JDM link says:

I would what is coming out of the other orange wire. What does the connector on the external harness look like?

What is coming out of the unconnected orange wire? Unknown aint measured that yet! I will put the positive probe on it and touch a ground somewhere and see if it gives any voltage (lights on etc).

The connector on the external harness is an orange wire male connector (inside the footwell).

Is it just one connector on on the external harness? or two?

I used the orginal orange wire, its only 1 wire

although under the dash I think there is 2 orange wires, I did get confused and found it tucked away under there

under the bumper is 1 orange wire

so the external harness has 2 wire connections for the orange wire? I used the replica bumper harness
