Turn lights installed!

fair play for knocking this up alinton!

sounds like your good at your electrics, maybe you can find out why my fogs keep blowing a fuse

I suspect its something to do with my turn lights as ever since I plugged mine in the fogs pop as soon as you start driving

Very handy work there alinton,i wired up mine to the side/park lights a few weeks ago which i really like but your intersection display wins

.
I'm in a similar boat too,got the fogs but no switch or wiring harness or relays yet,hoping for good news end of week.

I was lucky I still had all the wiring in place so just wired it all back in

That's an interesting one Drax, as far as I know the fogs and turns are on different circuits. Unless they're not! The fogs have 55w lamps, the turns 5w I think, much less anyway, so if you've got the wrong fuse in the fogs would blow it. Or maybe they are on the same circuit in the factory method, in which case maybe the combination of the two sets of lamps is too much for the fuse.
I can't find a circuit of how the turns are supposed to wire in, or I could have a look.

Are your turns and fogs both done the factory way?

And Greg, don't fret if you can't get the loom or relay, the loom isn't necessary (if it's the short one I'm thinking of) it only extends the plug that's already there to locate the relay on the side of the cruise control bracket. You can plug the relay straight into the existing plug.

And if you don't have a relay you could just use a generic one like the ones I used - you'd have to cut the plug off though and put crimp connectors on the wires.

You'll still need the button though - not easy to get if you're looking for the centre console one, easy if yours is in the dash.

I wonder if anyone has the Honda dealer instructions for fitting the intersection lights - I'd like to know how it's supposed to be done!

When I get the bb4 back in a couple of weeks, I can try and remember to photograph the oem loom fitted on the car if you like...

Good work but I don't know the way you write mu.

Well it's not the loom I'm wondering about, it's the actual circuit. Where does the control box actually connect to? I assume if it's a dealer option it should be relatively easy and already catered for with wiring.

On my nearside loom, where the indicator and fog light plugs are, I've a spare 2-pin plug. I couldn't make it go live, whatever I did, and I'm wondering if that's anything to do with it.

...and why would you want to write mu?

Post by **Donald** » Mon Sep 28, 2015 8:46 pm

I wouldn't, because the µF you put in your diagram equates to 1 mF. But I just didn't like the swoopy tail you put on it, unless that's actually an m... then you've got real issues

Ha I see, yes 1000 micro farad, which is as you say 1 milli farad, but that nomenclature isn't standard.

And I thought my little tail on the mu was pretty!
