Here's the harness:

Here's the back of the harness, you can see the tap where the purple wire currently is and circled is the red/blue wire you need to tap into:

Here's another pic of the tap with the purple wire:

You remove the purple wire from the tap and tap it into the red/blue wire. It couldn't be simpler.

ok so i have no purple wire anywere near that plug.......how do i do this on my 91 nx?

Anyone had this work for them? It didn't work for me, my headlights would stay on when I put the battery terminals on. I'd like to finish this up and put all the trimming back. Anyone got pics of how they did it?

hey guys i just did this today, and lket me tell you it took me longer to take the trim offr than to do the actual mod. So theres no confusion i have a 92 se-r . I followed the instructions like it said let me clear this upfpr those that have a 91 92 . the purple wire is attached already to a blue/red wire what you'll wanna do is remove the splice tap from thr purple and blue/red wire.
there a thicker blue/red wire right next to it , thats the one youll want to splice into. i did it and it worked fine . only bad thing is my fogs flash when i put on my alarm

I just did this as well.

Car is a 92 NX2000. I did not have the purple wire behind the steering wheel so I went with the relay method.

I found the red/yellow wire underneath the fog lamp relay and cut it an inch and half away from the relay. I used a crimp connector to cap off the other end of the red/yellow wire that is no longer in use.

I looked around in my garage for some spare wire and found an old aftermarket fog light wiring harness and cut a piece of 3 inch long wire off of it. I then stripped both ends.

I found a brown wire underneath the fuel pump relay (if your fuse box cover is illegible, the fuel pump relay is the 3rd relay from the left, it is also green). There are 2 brown wires coming out of the relay. One loops from one terminal on the fuel pump relay to an adjacent terminal on the same relay. I did not use that one. I used the brown wire that was part of the main harness leading out of the fuse box. I stripped a section of insulation out of the middle of the brown wire and soldered the spare wire I previously found in my garage to it (at first I just wrapped the wire around the stripped section and taped it, this worked as well). I then soldered the other end of the spare wire to the red/yellow wire sticking out of the fog lamp relay. Taped everything up and I'm done.

Fog lights came on as soon as I heard my fuel pump kick in. Fog lights now work with no lights, parking lights, main beam and high beam.

*EDIT* I guess it wasn't dark enough when I first tested the lights. Today I found that my driver side head light main beam would not work yet the high beam did. Reconnecting the red/yellow wire at the relay fixed this problem but I was back to square one. In addition, when connected to the brown wire from the fuel pump relay, the car would not shut off with the head lights on. Power from the headlights was keeping the fuel pump going. I could pull the key out and the car would idle until I turned my headlights off. Funny but eerie at the same time.

So I'm stuck. I have no purple wire behind the steering wheel and the fuse box method did not work for me. I am unsure why cutting the red/yellow wire on the fog light fuse would affect the headlights. I'm thinking I did something wrong.

Just did this this last night.. Pics helped a ton

My fogs don't want to turn on. I can hear the relay clicking and the fog light button will light up in the cockpit. The bulbs are new. My hid's are coming tomorrow and I would like to wrap all this up. Am i not supposed to tap it directly into the wire?
