I was in the unknown on this. Not easy finding OEM wiring for the rear fogs. I know it's a bit risky powering it off the original side. Am I right in understanding it's best to wire both of them with 2 relays, one for both sides? Also when you mention the power feed, is that by getting power direct from the fuse box or a different harness within the boot lid?

Wasn't 100% sure on the best way to wire the passenger side, but after no reply, I just thought I would tackle it myself. So obviously the passenger side doesn't have a bulb socket holder, so I had to source and waste money on a corner light just for the socket wiring. I extended the factory wiring with some 5 amp cables, enough to reach the driver side rear. I wanted to keep the wiring colour coded but had to make do with what I had at the time. Factory black/white cable being negative, and the green/yellow being earth. As mentioned way above on the thread, drill through the tail light using a big enough drill bit or a hole saw attachment (a circle outline is engraved, where the bulb sits inside, aswell as ventilation holes around the black bulb housing). Any debris from drilling, use an air line, compressed air or a vacuum to get them out. Feed the wire inside the boot lid reaching the other side. With the extended wiring reaching the driver side, I used some cable connectors to tap into the factory wiring harness for the driver side rear fog. As shown above, factory black wire is the negative -, and the red/blue being the positive +. Finished result.

A nice KA1 legend on Autotrader. 1990 import in very good condition. This one seems to be the exclusive edition with only 1 previous owner. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202403097399310

Can anyone shed a bit more info on this? When adding the second rear fog light, which cable/wiring are you meant to tap into? I'm guessing it's obviously the factory rear fog on the driver side, but is there any way to avoid feeding wire across the light bar than simply tapping into the factory wiring harness somewhere on the passenger side?

Welcome to the forum. Nice to know these coupes are still of interest to people who can appreciate them for what they are.

This one is from gumtree. I have to say, credit to it's current owner, 219k for a 2.0ltr manual. Condition looks very impressive especially the bodywork. Considering how it's been kept I would only hope it goes to someone who will equally maintain and preserve it. A true survivor for the four cylinders 👍 https://www.gumtree.com/p/honda/honda-accord-coupe-2000-manual-1997-cc-2-doors/1475756309

Agree with you to some degree, but I think it will only help gauge more interest which will help. I think you cant judge a car too much by looking at it's history unless you can tell if it has been seriously abused. Needs to be seen in person and driven to be judged. I think that's more important if someone is serious.

Another V6 that's popped up, on Auto trader. 2000 model in red with only 76k. Looks very clean for the condition and age. Has the obvious bonus, front fog lights 😂. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402226843941

No, I meant your comment regarding the 2.0ltrs being disappointing, was a bit harsh 😂😂.

...a bit harsh for some of us 2.0ltrs on here 🥲

...it went for £2,800 🤦‍♂️🥲😬. Someone managed to bag a bargain. Was hoping it would bid for more than that. However saying that, there are others on Gumtree with more mileage going for a lot more. But good to know these cars are going for a lot more than a few years ago. Just depends on whether someone is able to pay a ridiculous amount for something rare, be it neglected or a good example.

...yeah I am watching it too on eBay 😁😁. I hope it goes for £4k. Looks to be in really good condition for its low mileage. Hopefully at that bidding price, it goes to the right owner who will appreciate and look after it.

Another one popped up on eBay. 2000, 2.0ltr auto, with only 38k. Looks factory fresh condition, apart from the alloy hub caps. Not going to mention the price, but for anyone interested 😬😬😅 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/235409003881?

You are most welcome. If I can suggest a good source for part referencing try; https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/ACCORD-COUPE/2001. Water pump: 19200-P0A-003T Timing belt: 14400-PDA-E01 Belt Balancer: 13405-PAA-A03 But if you would prefer to save £££ and buy a kit in one go, I would suggest looking here. https://www.rockauto.com/ Hope this helps you out. I'm sure the others will suggest further info and better sourcing 👍

I have also had this problem on and off, but mine only revs high to 2000rpm when it's cold, but returns to normal idle after a couple of minutes warming up during winter. I'm guessing reasons related to this could be the throttle body sticking, needing a good clean or maybe the idle control valve. The 2.3 engine is basically the same as the 2.0ltr. OEM part number for the idle air control valve is: 36460-PAA-L21
