Question Re: 2005 HCH - Fog Lamps

Hi Ralph_Dog. Thanks for replying. The advice you gave sounds very appropriate for third party or after market fog lamps but these are the factory designed fog lamps. I folllowed the instructions (http://www.handa-accessories.com/civic/05fogs.pdf). I had a friend who installed fog lamps on his truck and they caught fire due to low quality wiring in aftermarket/ third party lamps. Well the wiring did, luckly we noticed and unplugged the battery and the problem was resolved quickly.

The lamps run without a problem when the main head lamps are on. I drove the car this past saturday on a roadtrip with them on the entire trip, basically 3 hours of driving round trip plus city driving. The only time that buzzing sound occurs is when the main lamps are off and the fog lamp button remains on.

I guess my questions are has anyone in the group had them factory installed and expirenced this? Is the undervoltage a potential problem when the mainlamps are off, aside from them possible draining the auxillary battery.

tbaleno had this problem in his previous civic, but this seems to be the result of something else. I am trying to see if I perhaps wired it to the wrong place in the 16 pin connector.
