Asking fog lights... [Archive]

Dear all gurus of Honda :)

I bought a pair of OEM fog lights for my Jazz overseas and tried to install it.

The Seller (whom I bought the unit from) gave me a manual book that apparently is for the 2004 model of Honda Jazz. It got completely different fuse & connector arrangement (shown on the diagram of the manual)

We tried to compare the 'old' and 'new' fuse & connector in hoping that we manage to match where we should connect the cable in the fuse box; unfortunately we couldn't find on which connector we should connect the cable in.

Is there any of you guys happened to get this fog lights installed and get it working? It would be greatly appreciated if anybody with the access to the technical manual/ instruction book can share some info how to solve this issue :(

I've also tried to call the seller at overseas and unfortunately he also got the new manual for Jazz 2004 model only....

Plizz guys... need help here... :(

I'm about to change my fog light bulbs, but still unsure of the type that Honda Jazz used....

Anybody know what kind of bulbs I can use? I know that my headlights is using H4 type... but not sure on the fogs... Anyone has changed or replaced with the 'white-coloured' ones?

Thanks in advance...

I USING 98 RON Petrol :( and sumtimes I use 102 RON PETROL (102 petrol = 98 RON + Nitrous Liquid Formula it give 4 octane more, and make the RON 98 into 102 RON)

TYPE S front and rear brake is DISC BRAKE , as current Jazz (disc and drum)

Inside is recaro sport seat, Momo Steering wheels and Momo 17"

ASK your honda dealer... is cost around $37k + dealer

quizery

06-03-2005, 07:28 PM

the standards they are referring to are the ADR's (australian design rules)

this means that if the lights are not a required light, i.e. not a headlight, indicator, brake light, tail lamp or reverse light, then they are not permitted regardless of where they are mounted or what colour they are

if you have interior lighting it is not allowed to be above the bottom of the windows. they are also not allowed to be switched on while driving.

also fog/driving lights are not permitted to be switched on. you can be fined for having them switched on, and in some states, if the fog/driving lights are non standard items, the fines are higher than if the lights were factory fitted. try tell a police officer that the hella lights that are on the try are standart

Haha, good catch there spoon fit...

I wonder what will Honda say about selling an 'illegal' part (read: fog lights) in Australia.
If it's illegal, why they are allowed to sell and even installed it as a factory setting..... hmmm...
Someone said to me it's the same analogy as selling NOS kit.... you can sell but you can't use it.... but in the case of fog lights, we have all dealers in Australia selling fogs as a standard factory settings on several models....
And I guess the basic measurement of the car will stay remain the same... it's just a matter of putting more accesories and stuffs on it....

Any other idea? I wonder if there's a police officer being a member of this forum whom we can asked the opinion for...haha

Oh by the way... If it's really 'illegal'... BAGGA ME I'm in trouble then... :(

ur B18C type s jazz got fog light too? :rolleyes:

Yeah .. the only reason I can think of is... "Look at me, I've got a Holden or Ford xxx ..." kinda attitute..

No offence to those who is driving one of those cars.. but I think it is totally unnecessary... unless it comes with standard factory turn on by default when the car starts ??? :D

I got a friend of mine who stopped by the police for turning the fogs on. Although the road was wet and raining at that time and he tried to make an excuse by saying the road's wet and raining, bla bla, he still got fined for $100.... that's sucks.... I don't think he turned it on for any single 'funny' reason beside he really need it since it's night, road was wet, and it's raining..... yet he still got $100 fine.....sigh... :(... poor guy...

He told me to be really extra super duper carefull when using the fogs.... he seems to be soo paranoid now...haha... poor guy :o

ok... Now i have already ask the police is the FOG LIGHT Legal or not

FOG LIGHT can be use. if the road is really2 foggy , and ussually when the road is foggy the police will inform throught radio station or television, other than police notice, The fog light is illegal to be used.

Note: in raining day you not allowed to use. because if u turn on fog light the other driver infront of you in the raining day will be see your car using a HIGH BEAM (due to rain reflection)

Villains, by any chance you are related to quizery since both of you like to use the ">.<" sign and both of you like to use small letter "i" instead of capital "I" when you are talking about yourself. Also, both of you don't like to use capital letter to start a sentence most of the time....
