9/7/10 so today our injen replacement filter arrived



I had to replace my $30 9005 Hi-Beam Connector


I Filled the Inspire - Infiniti Ballast harness conversion using dielectric silicone ( thanks Jashaa ) Tomorrow I will loom them for the "OEM" Look. A few more things need to arrive before they are installed nothing huge.

 

so I took some time out today to finish up the harnesses........... shot a quick vid for you guys too, hehe ( had to edit opening narration vid too long to send via Iphone )

well guys haven't been on much lately because the wedding is this SATURDAY! I've been doing a lot of little this to the Accord to have it ready. Wife wants it for her wedding day. Since the headlights were installed I bought replacement hood shocks, and yesterday a fog light harness kit.



W/ this fog kit I had to do a ton of work, especially since I wanted to wire up a HID kit on the switch. I was helped by another v6p member and I will cut & paste what I did here.

The Diagram I was instructed to use

Sooooooooooooo.... after conversating w/ Nick for a short while on AIM, I was able to accomplish my switch install. Nick is a helpful man of great patience. LOL! Thanks Nick. I also Had to watch a few youtubes in between. My Accord knowledge is not extensive.

I chose to use the cig lighter for my 12v ( as well, thanks Nick ). These helped me to get there - For us auto guys, "not an ashtray" has to be pried up using a small screw driver, like mini small. Then I used My plastic pry tools to free up the console.

I spent alot of time prepping my course of action, extending wires, soldering, modifying etc etc.... not all necessary but I chose to.

5 Wire Green Switch - Colors in order ( I do not know why it mattered but it works, so therefore it does )
- Black
- Red/Black ( de-pin from connector )
- Red
- Green
- Red/Black ( splice removed R/B into this R/B )



After you de-pin the connector it should look like




* If your harness is like mine - The red/blk farthest from the black is spliced into the R/B you de-pinned first. I just cut it off and re-pinned it where the 2nd R/B was. *



I used some extra pins I had, to make a male female connector for my in car harness. Why? JIC I ever need to R&R any component. I will do the same for my green wire that is to be connected later to fog harness.



(9/13/2010).................until tomorrow that's all I got documented. GNYT!


Here's the switch after you have repinned it as mentioned earlier.

Now it's a 4 - wire
- Black
- Red ( solid )
- Green
- Red / Black



So I got all down and dirty for a short spell today, finishing up just the fogs harness and testing it. nothing hardwired yet besides the ground @ sunroof, batt + w/ butt connector and the 12V+ into accessory outlet.

( routing 12v )


then I decided to loom it and re-route it, along oem lines - hardly noticeable too

 

For the Green wire I extended it through the a/c heater blower line hole. I pulled the rubber grommet w/ needle nose pliers, and fed the extended green through it and past the firewall inside the cabin.


testing @ K.O.E.O ( key on engine off )


* Now I need to figure out how to make my HID kit work w/ my fogs. It has 3 connectors, and Especially since it's not H11. I will de-pin that harness as well for testing.

HID


Fog ( x2 connectors on pic'd )


Back w/ good news....HID Fogs are a go! Time to button up the project and complete install of HID kit, fogs and bumper won't be installed til thur/fri. The tough part is over

so I took this loose connector ( your kit may vary, this one I had laying around ) of my HID kit & plugged in my de-pinned fog light connector for testing. ( USE THE CONNECTOR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE when wiring permanently or only one side will illuminate. )



Switch off - HID off


Switch on HID on

BIG THANKS TO NICK! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:

Yes sir, switch works buy doesn't fit my console, going to see if Honda has one tomorrow, if not I will return this switch. My fogs are H11. My hid plug to the fog harness was not. So it's H11-ish now haha. Actually, my old h11 harness plugs right in so I just pinned it to the new harness, and I tested it all already. I'll post pics in about 5min.

My old H11

vs new

just re-pinned


Final install on car, I think it's pretty clean.

 

Final on car test - then buttoned it all back up inside

 

Decided the drive and headache is not worth to return/exchange the ebay switch. I drove 5min up the st. & ordered my oem fog switch and picked up a 32pc fuse set just because @ honda today...LOL not a bad $21 spent! Switch will be in tomorrow!
