Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. This switch uses a female rectangular connector with 12 male pin terminals and a bolt-on mounting style. Confirm that the vehicle is not equipped with fog lights when servicing a 2013 Honda Civic, as that application note is listed for this part.

For best results, compare the original switch layout and indicator markings to the replacement unit before final assembly. The CBS-2173 is listed for 2013-2017 Honda Accord and 2013 Honda Civic, so match the year and model exactly before installation.
