Those are for the oem fog, trac control disable switch and something else. Either mood lighting or seat heaters for the international models.

Hi there nikeian!
Μy fog lights switches are located on the left bar on the steering wheel together with the turn signals.
Down there (where you are quoting) i have my OEM traction control (VSA) switch and my OEM HID headlight's sprinklers. This leaves one more switch to be installed and i do not have the foggiest idea what that could be because my seat heater's switches are located adjacent of the gear knob.
(Greek I2, Elegance edition, late 2009)
In the Greek Honda site, (HondaCars)
under the extras, one can find the separate bluetooth screen to be mounted on that side of the dashboard and the games screens for the passengers located behind the driver's and co-driver's . Maybe a switch to turn on and off something like that?

Please tell more... Seems the US model took a back seat for accessories, but OEM and aftermarket.

For more info on accessories check out the honda site i 've quoted. Truth is that not much on aftermarket goodies can be found around here so we have to order from web stores.

thanks Guys.

Your replies are great. Except, I don't come with VSA, (traction control). Great idea on the fog lights. But must i install a lower lip body kit to compensate for fog lights?

alarm status light sounds good too as I wanted to install another independant car alarm.

as for the BT screen at the side of the dashboard, (quoted by our Greek friend,) need to see the visual...

thanks for your advice.

Great...mind if you can show more of your grill?

Your aftermarket fog lights - can you share your supplier website link please?

Least I could find out which brand of fog lights? - Do you need to reinstall another lower lip or simple find the fog light slot?

Tks!
