I just finished installing a set of aftermarket driving lights for my 06 Accord. Almost done, but I need to find a 12 volt ignition source under the hood of the car to "trigger" the relay. Cant seem to find anything that goes 12 volts live when the ign key is turned on. I've already run the wiring into the car for the switch, and that was a bugger to do, don't want to have to run another one....... Any ideas?

 

any idea?

 

I do not have your generation.
On mine I have a fuse box on the firewall behind the battery.
I used a connection in there.
Works fine for my driving lights.

 

Any idea what fuse/wire that you hooked into? What does the fuse power on your car? Maybe I can look at an equivalent fuse on my accord fuse panel as well....

 

You really should just use a test light. That is what I did. They are a couple of dollars and you will use it again one day.
My girlfriend has the car right now and wont be home until tonight.
I guess you could really do it without a test light.
Have the key in the off position and touch the end of the wire that goes to the relay to the top of the small fuses. When you find a fuse that does not turn on the driving lights turn the car to "on" touch the wire to the same fuse and see if your lights are now working. If they are pull that fuse, tuck the bare end of the wire under the spade on the right side of the fuse, insert the fuse back in and see if everything is working.

That is the Ghetto-Easy way of doing it.
