I have mine on all the time. I just drill and hole and put in another bulb. U could get a double filment bulb and socket, that will work too. I believe the integ are double, so just go to the junk yard...

Okay basically I got this socket from Advance, cheap but works.



It holds a 1157 bulb. It's $3.49 a socket. Okay this does require a little work though.

The two wires coming from this are both positive, the body is the ground, so to make it work I had to solder about a foot of wire onto the body.

So now I would have 3 wires, two positive and one negative. You now basically splice one of the positive wires and the ground wire to the wires of the factory socket.

The next wire you would have to splice into the positive wire of the factory corner bulb of the same lens. The little 194/168 bulb. And there you go. Whenever you turn on the parking lamps the whole bumper lens will illuminate, and when you use your signal you turn on the second filament in the bulb and there you have it a double function bumper lens.

Hope this helps. I don't know if if the integra sockets are a direct fit but if they are they'd be the better choice for a cleaner install, but I know they don't come cheap and I know they aren't readily available. So you have this route here to go.

And in splicing I mean using these here:

Quick Splice Connectors


Good Luck,

It'd actually be the 7440 bulb, the 7443 is for the integra, that's the dual filament bulb.

Just setting facts straight, not trying to be an ass.
