Step 6 installing fog switch + relay.

the wiring was so fun. i got luckie actually got it right the first time.

had to take out the center console:



then figure what wire goes to what:


then install the JDM Switch:



the difference is the location of it. this one as you can goes behind the cup holder. the USDM swithc goes next to the hazard switch. plus the switch connectors and wire colors are different.

usdm connector:


plus the correct color to color wirng is:

red/yel to red/yel
black to red/green
red black to orange


now on to a question sence the work. how come i cant have them on with the head lights off?

well im going H23Vtec. i found a good H22a4 head. now i just got to think about all motor or boosting it. plus what tranny to use.

plus what pistons to use.
h22 piston = 10.1
h32 piston = 9.3

so wouldnt the 9.3 be better if i boost it?

what? max torque is gonna be about the same its higher end hp you're gaining from the head swap. if you're really gonna boost it then its really unneccesary.
