RB1 3rd row motor and fog lights

[dmx]

Hi all
just trade in my RA6 with RB1 2007.
a few issues here :
1. when i tested the 3rd row seat folding motor, all good. arrive home tried 2-3 times, also good.
but after my little girl "play" with it, when i tried again, the right side (3rd row) cannot fold anymore.
but i still can hear the motor runs, but only the seat won't drop/fold. if i push with my little finger, just little bit, it will drop/fold. my fren said, it's the hook only. some said, the motor nearly "out":(

any advise ?

2. a. is there any fog light for rb1 ?
b. aftermarket ones ?
c. and where to install ? couldn't see any spare space ?

cheers

You can buy from dealer or look on ebay. There's one from ebay AU but it's for 04-06 model last time i checked or you can buy from Yahoo auction Japan. Maybe AusAccord and Evolution can give pictures of their foglights. It's not hard to install i think.

thanks atjo, coudn't find from ebay au :-(
AusAccord / Evolution : knock..knock... :-)

any advise about the seat problem ? ta

[AusAccord]

yes sir... not sure how to start with the foglight as unluckily i delete most of the info on my computer. but tks to OH and pls refer to Mobil1's thread as its been discussed between Evolution and others....

referring to the seat problems, i can say...... no idea as mine is missing that button and have to use my own hands :( :(

[evolution]

Can't help with issue one. Mine's pretty much up all the time.

Do you really need the fog lights? I've only switched them on like a handful of times.

If you DIY be prepared to do this

DMX I have foglight instructions in english. PM me your email or you can come get a copy if you're in Melb. I got the harness (ie, wiring, fuse, switch, standard bezel, etc) for $260. You will need to spend almost another $260+ on the actual lamp housing. Take the instructions and DIY yourself or take it to some random workshop. If you get the dealer to fix they will charge some stupid price like $300 just for labour if i remember.

THis is ebay aftermarket. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Honda-Odyssey-04-06-Front-Fog-Lamps-Spot-Lights-Kit-3rd-/380260070292?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5889443394. You could probably use the lamp from the Ebay foglights ($115) and get the harness from Honda Access ($260).

thanks guys for your reply.
AusAccord : what ? urs missing the button ? ..lol..worse than mine
evolution : yeah, i already got used driving with fog light,

[AusAccord]

haha yeah, was asked Honda to remove the button, seats motor, heated seats, curtain airbags, auto-lighting and sunroof on mine in order to save weight.....

[evolution]

^^^ that's a long way to say you bought the standard model

DMX: what car was it on and why did you sell the BBK?

JBT is good enough for daily driving on the Odyssey. Stops alot better than OEM brakes.

Can't see the pics. But the eBay one is for the pre FL version which is cut into the bumpers. So I am not sure if you can use it on a FL verson mounting points may be different

re-submit the pics :
blue pic : fog on bumper
white pic : (left pic only) fog on airdam grille
so can i fit ebay fog into airdam grille ? (it's ok lah if only mounting problem :cool: )

update about 3rd row motor seat : my fren said, i might park my car slightly up on the road/driveway
so today, i tried on flat road, and it's works :wave:
even his rb3, if park on up the hill road, the seat won't fold.

[AusAccord]

ok since you have the pics attached above then i may answer yr pm here. blue pic on the right is pre faccelift Absolute JDM model and the ebay set is for JDM pre facelifte M type model which is our AUDM model here. Absolute model has pre-cut foglight housing and even comes with foglight. the M model has to cut fitting the ebay set. presume yr 07 AUDM model is facelift model with LED tail light. so i'm 99.9% sure the pre-facelift model foglight bracket is different to ours unless you modded to fit which is possible.

so how to install our foglight? you have to cut the foglight oval shape on both side of 1 piece OEM air dam grille (thats how you describe) then fit the bracket with foglight from inside. once installed then you fit the foglight bezel by using the cover on yr left hand pic. far left is the bezel uses without front lip, middle is for with Modulo front lip installed and far left is for JDM Absolute model which is not applicable here unless you have swapped front bumper.

a installation manual shows clearly how to install the foglight and all of us here are DIY. so you can ask any family men here again if further info is needed.

^^^ that's a long way to say you bought the standard model....

hey, would you mind??

[dmx]

thanks guys..still waiting mobil1 to send me the manual..

[AusAccord]

^^ oh, i have a JDM version if you like to read Japanese :)

looks at the manual again and realise i mixed up the installation procedure a little bit, the foglight bracket should attach to front bezel with air grille in between.

[Mobil1]

and far left is for JDM Absolute model which is not applicable here unless you have swapped front bumper.
.

heheheh....

Ok bro DMX, I will scan this weekend and email you, sorry been so flat out at work.

Finally some ODC activity again in this forum.

[AusAccord]

^^ you are not alone. found a pre-facelift silver RB1 in Sydney swapped the JDM bumpers as well not never have a chance stop/chat with the owner.

[evolution]

^^^ preface lift swap? Might be aka_NSX's friend.

[AusAccord]

doubt she is....

[dmx]

heheheh....

Ok bro DMX, I will scan this weekend and email you, sorry been so flat out at work.

that's ok bro, will wait.
while i'm still looking the "suitable" generic fog :-)
i might still keep the original bumper, since i don't want to 'touch' this family car (only 17"wheel, may be fog, and may be 2din gps :-)
so i still tryin' to get the fog bezel size of cl7, w203, and what is the other one, i forgot ???
hopefully, the size is suitable for rb1 FL, and do little bit of custom bracket/positioning.
anyway, all still in draft plan.., definitely will update :-)

AusAccord can u send me a copy of the instructions again.

[AusAccord]

^^ need a reason haha

[AusAccord]

BW says annual leave and now gone to Yahoo ;)

[evolution]

Thanks mate. Boss told me to take the day off because I work too much... Hahahha

[dmx]

bro, so means the bezel sit on top of air grille and also means if we look from the side, there's a gap in between (assume no front lip installed, just stock bumper) ?
or the bezel side will curve down to cover the gap ?

[AusAccord]

different bezel will be used if no front lip installed, remember the pic you posted showing 3 different bezels. the appropiate bezel will cover the opening on air dam grille accommodate the foglight without leaving any gap.

[AusAccord]

dmx, this is the bezel you need without front lip

Ok bros, sorry for the long delay...been sooo busy at work..

Anyway I've scanned the english fog lights manual. If anyone want's a copy PM me your email.

Bro DMX I've emailed you the manual.

[aka_NSX]

^^ you are not alone. found a pre-facelift silver RB1 in Sydney swapped the JDM bumpers as well not never have a chance stop/chat with the owner.

the car with Absolute kits and Rays Versus 6 in black ? if so yeah she is my friends wife

[AusAccord]

^^ oh god, such a small Odyssey society... not sure its black Rays Versus 6 but definitely Absolute f/r bumper in silver

[dmx]

finally, the fog cover has arrived, after delayed by disaster in Japan, and been quarantined for radiation screening. Cover is from Honda Japan, and lights is from US (aftermarket for FA/FG), and they're fit 100% by size.
FYI, the only size fit to RB1 fog are fogs for FA/FG, RN6, and W211, but W211's is expensive and RN6's comes with plastic spacer.

will do the customize later on (brackets and mounts, also wires)-will update next.
