where do you get a harness from? i'm using my old HID ballasts from my accord, so i just have stripped bare wires

do we need a relay or fuse when connecting to the battery as an extra precaution?

Yes thats correct.. you can get premade harnesses which makes it 1000x easier with connections and relays and fuses in line

thanks for the info guys, so before I order can you please see if i'm getting the right stuff. I'm pretty confused as im sure others doing this mod might be
I just want the fog housing, proper lenses, and relay:

ddm tuning relay harness: http://www.ddmtuning.com/Products/HI...Wiring-Harness (do I need a specific adapter size to tap into our existing fogs?)

fog light housing, is it 3"?: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...hrhmi53e644vuj (does this already come with lens???)

the 3" STI-R lenses, do I need them for the above housing??: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...cts_id=85{6}39

Let me fix that for you. Get the harness from rfs. The housings are projectors and come with clear lenses already no additional ones needed. You will then need bulbs and ballasts

thanks for the quick reply ordered the projectors and am going to pick up the relay harness from DDM tuning's san diego location since it's 10 minutes from my place.

cant wait to install these! to tap into the low beams, we need the 9006 adapter correct?

also pics with the front bumper installed when you get a chance please, want to see how I should position them before I cut them out, leaning towards having them parallel with the headlight projectors but we'll see when the parts arrive

you cant have them parallel with the headlight projectors. The fluid tank sticks out to far behind it and there is nothing to mount it to. also its much more sloped there. and do you mean the fog light? yes 9006.

here are some pics.. bezel not on yet because Im not sure if I want it or not.

I also finished the wiring for my headlights in prep for paint. My parking light is now a blinker and my fog and blinker are blank.. parking light wiring waiting for halo.
