What did you do to your Civic today? (II)

The purple wire turns on the fog light relay. I’ll pull up the diagram tomorrow

Don't cut the red wire.

I've got a c.f. piece coming for the gear shift on the third and it still isn't here
Seems all that stuff comes from China, I was only able to find one item of the five pieces i ordered that was in the US.

Blew the leaves off today, few weeks after washing and giving her a coat of Collinite 845. Still looking good on her 2nd anniversary.

Thanks, but I want to be able to use the factory switch. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel, just modify it.

Oh there's a separate connector to ground the foglight relay!? And it's just sitting there with nothing plugged into it? That's almost painless.

@Mattman1206 If you're trying to use the original switch, I think if you disconnect pin #3 (the black wire) out of the body control module and attach it to body ground, hat might work for you. Can you confirm @kurt1000rr?

Not sure about that. It’s safer just using the purple wire just to be safe

Dipped my caps yesterday while watching some college football.

That looks amazing!!! I’m dying to get this done for my civic. If you don’t mind me asking, how much was for everything. That way I get some kind of idea and start saving.

Similar to the Injen FMIC? Let us know about temp decreases and any throttle/power response increases =)



Find it to fit? Is there a risk of fitting a 55w in the housing?

I was just considering a typical 35w 5500k kit from DDM with a relay harness to make it easy. I've had my DDM kit on my CBR600rr for about 8 years now with no issues.

Lastly, just got my car back today from ASC with my Katzkin leather. MAN! I am so stoked about it. Turned out great. No cloth left and as an added bonus both my front seats now have seat back pockets! The factory seats didnt have those.

Placed order for material Thursday night. Material was made on Monday. Arrived Tuesday morning. Dropped off car at lunch Tuesday. Got the call at 230pm Wednesday that it was done. Talk about fast turn around.

Well when you do it, be sure to post pics I'd probably stick the purple wire somehow and catch my car on fire lol

I can't "show" you until I actually do it. But basically that purple wire powers the fogs via the signal/headlight switch. It only works with the headlights on. If you take that purple wire out of that connector and give it its own separate switch and then ground it, it can work independently of the headlights.

Thanks man. Yeah I was dying for a WOP Sport 6speed with black interior but EVERYONE was sold out or already had precontracts before they even arrived. I tried for 3 months until I noticed this WOP 6speed sport with beige was at the dealer for a few weeks. Figured it was due to the interior. Negotiated a price WITH the Katzkin leather and the rest is history.

When you check Katzkins website it gives you an estimate for anything that is cloth such as the seats and center console.

The hatchback door inserts are plastic so they were extra. I believe the sedan/coupe door inserts are cloth so they are included. I'd check Katzkins website and see who your local installer is and give them a call. I'd say if I were to do this not through my deal for the car it'd be about $1400 + $175 for door inserts +$175 for the contrast stitching.

To each their own, my guy. Was the most interesting to me. I get compliments on the color all the time

I would not do that, the #3 Black wire appears to be the control power thru the headlight switch. Disconnect that and your headlights won't work.
