Civic EG

Those with the rear foglight switch..


know what each of the 5 wires do? from top to bottom? thanks!

anyone with a service manual in UK can tell me this ?

I dont think i ever seen a pic of an EG with rear foglights...pic

Dumbass, it's a UK thing only. I'll see what I can do, but I don't have a car manual and CBA to rip my dash out.

Argh i had it written down for you but i cant find it anymore

its built in the tail light housing,
i read some where i think its the US or the JDM has that slot open for a light bulb just have to plug/ wire it in

here are the rear foglight pics courtesy of graham. Thanks again!

I did a minor review of the differences between them as well.




as you can see the USDM on the left and the UKDM on the right. The USDM has a more even red lighting to it.

further inspection when opened..


UKDM has nothing behind the red.



USDM has a white diffuser in the middle.




On the bulb holder you can see the UKDM has a reflective metal lense where as the USDM has nothing.



USDM uses a dual filament bulb 1157 where the UKDM uses a 1156 single.

Another note is that the harness has 5 pins.

which I am lead to read from left to right:

1.Parking Lamp Power (red)
2.Brake Lamp Power (green/yellow)
3.Reverse Lamp Power (green/black?) forgot already ahha
4.Ground (black)
5.Rear Foglight Lamp (Red)

USDM uses only the 1-4. UKDM uses 3-5.

I repinned my UKDM one to run off 1, 3, 4. I will make a harness soon enough so I can use a switch and make a hybrid USDM one which will have 1, 3, 4, 5

Here are pics of the pins ends


USDM



my repinned UKDM one where the red would've been at the right side.



and end result!






This gave me some random insight on how to make a USDM one into a UKDM. The part numbers on the outer lenses are IDENTICAL. The only part that is added is that white diffuser.

but looking to figure out the switch parts now. If anything i'll use a multimeter.

no one has a ukdm manual to show me the electrical diagram?

I'm bidding on this at the mo...

If it has anything about the fog light switch, I'll hook you up.

USDM foglights run 3 wires..


Switch Input (+12V) (switch dependant)
Switch Ouput ((+12V) (constant on)
Ground


I don't know what the other two wires would be for.. (stumped)
