I'm happy to have Zeta take responsibility for the sitch but I'd still like to help the folks who bought these get their fogs working. Would someone post a few pictures of the wiring that came with these fogs? If there's a relay and a reasonable amount of wiring, I'm sure we can figure out something to get these working. The minimum I'd do is tap the relay power contact into a fuze then the fogs and tap the relay input through the switch into power. These two connections should be easy enough through the Fit wiring diagrams. If we want to get fancier, there should be a way to tap into the switch and relay input to the low beams so the fogs will only work when the lows are on. This would at least be legal in all 50 states.

We'll also need the folks with the switch to find a way to keep it from sticking. Last time I had a sticking switch, I used some silcone lube on it. You may need to trim the switch or the hole too.

indeed we did!

Eddie had to splice into the factory plug harnesses at the bumper area, I had to plug it into an available slot on the fuse block inside. It really wasn't a HUGE deal, but the inconvenience that was there because it isn't "direct fit" should be avoided with more research on the seller's side.

I think they should just try to install these things themselves on a base fit. They will see the issues at hand and will most likely alter the kit so it is a true plug-n-play.

So if you're installing these on a Sport Fit as a replacement for cracked fogs, it will be plug and play?????
