Parking Light Fuse
Does anyone know where the parking light fuse is on a 96 LX Sedan? I can't seem to find it. I need to piggyback it so I can run my fog lights with just the parking lights on, instead of (the way I have it now) parking lights, head lights, and fogs. So if someone could tell me where that is located that would be excellent! Thanks!

Hey thanks a lot! Do you think running the fogs off of it will damage my alarm relay? I wouldn't want to do that!

Well this is kind of annoying. I tried to connect the fog lamps to the fuse you told me about (it was indeed correct) using a piggyback fuse deal for accessories such as fog lights and stuff. I was hoping that by doing this I would be able to run my running lights with my fogs without actually using the headlights. To no success. I don't know why it didn't work. I don't under stand it. Anyways, so I'm back to square one.
Anyone know how I can make the fogs come on with the running lights? I could just have two separate switches, but then I'd have to remember to shut off two separate switches! And eventually I want my fog lights to flash with my running lamps when I arm and disarm the alarm on my car.

Re: Parking Light Fuse
I've done this on my 2008 Honda Civic with great success, but I used a relay. Use the power from the piggyback circuit, or as I did splicing onto the parking light circuit, to operate the coil of the relay. The other end of this circuit goes to ground. I then ran a fused circuit through the normally open contacts of the relay to the lights. Of course the other side of the lights will go to ground (I made a common ground for both of these circuits). The relay is one typically used and or found in the lighting equipment.

Re: Parking Light Fuse
Use the park light free pin on the fuse box, just above the fuses there are 3-4 "free pins" one of them is the park light free pin, [hot when park/running lights are on] sorry you will have to test as I do not know which one it is, but you should find one that is hot at all times, one that is hot in run, [ign.2] one that is hot when park/running lights are on, [the one you need].
With that said a relay may be needed depending on amperage draw of your fog lights, in which case the park light free will be used for relay control. 94
