Rear Fog, now a complete kit at Courtesyparts

spearfish25 · 11-25-2009, 07:58 PM

Perhaps this is old news, but for anyone who hasn't found this yet:

I was browsing Courtesyparts.com and found a COMPLETE JDM rear foglight kit including new stalks for controlling the light.

You sir, deserve a rep point.

hmm.. intersting.. Do you have to take apart the whole steering wheel?

Professional installation is recommended, installation instructions are not included.

I used this /\ new harness for my fog light install. I am very happy with it. This is available from THE Z STORE . I don't feel comfortable taking the steering wheel apart but that's just me (my

). Good find though.

I've been trying to decide whether I want to have stalks backwards for a couple weeks now.
Curious on why no one has installed this here yet.

First being my car did NOT have a harness in the back so I wouldve had to wireup a new line anyway. Not plug'n'play like how it sounds on the site on my car.

Next, I wanted to use real switches on the 3 dummies on the center console next to the cup holder. So I wired mine up to that.

Kevr6, I think it is because of those blank switches (or single in touring) that many people have. Instead of having to tear down the steering column and do all that, just a quick wire job to the center switches with an easy on/off toggle and you are good to go.

"The steering column control switch stalk is reversed from the USDM version to accommodate JDM right hand drive vehicles."

So if you swap it out, your directional's are on the right?

I also didn't want to have a dead rear wiper switch on the stalk. Still liking your new harness better, AK.

AK's solution is the way to go for me. I'm not a fan of having to flip the stalks like that..

dcrew1x · 11-29-2009, 06:52 PM

I ended up using a switch to the center console to turn it on/off also it only powers on if the car is on.

kevr6 · 11-29-2009, 08:13 PM

Good points...but I may still try it. I've always done that with my past German cars.
I want front fogs and other I.C.E. control in that center location. But if there indeed isn't a harness then running a wire is required anyway.
We'll see...not a high priority right now for me.

The M-7 connector is just above the left side kick panel. There are two connectors there and both are white, M-7 is the connector that gose from left to right not fwd and aft.

NOTE: also the the courtesy kit is JDM and the controls are on the opposite side.

I'm also working on the instrument cluster for the fog light ''ON'' indication. When you turn the rear fog light on there is an indicator light that comes on on the instrument cluster, but this requires alot of dismantling of the guage cluster. Alot of care must be taken to do this mod.
