Will any amber ones work?

I did a search on the forum earlier and found some interesting amber ones for civic's and teg's...

just doing some prep work for the car.. Boy its going to change a whole lot real soon...

 

Look on ebay for the JDM ones. You have to cut a square in the fender, but they look OEM. They run like 40 bucks.

 

well yea, but electrically - just splicing a few wires here and there with the turns, no?

Yeah. the wiring can ce done a couple ways. it just depends on how you want them to work. If you want them on all the time then blink when you turn on your signal, or stay off all the time and only blink when you turn on your signal.

I like the on all the time. I think it looks better.

These are the JDM OEM ones from Honda.

hm. So I could do it to turn on when I turn on my corners, then blink when I turn on my turn signals yes? Thats what I'd be going for...

 

Yep.
Thats how my old accord was.

Im pretty sure you hook one of the wires to the parking light and then the other wire to the turn signal. The wire that you need for the turn signal is the one that pulses to flash the bulb.

Ill look around today and see if thats exactly how it is wired and get back to ya.

 

thanks shizzle

 

yea, one wire to positive of parking light, and the other to the positive of the turn signal. Very easy.

 

Check out this thread. it tells you exactly how to wire it up.

is anything behind/inside the fenders that I should be aware of before drilling though?

 

red & green = on the whole time & will blink when signal.

red & black = blink only when signal.


You should use a metal nibbler, it's a whole lot easier than using a big drill like the one in the DIY off honda-tech. I used it, it prevents mess ups b/c you make the hole slowly, not just drilling a hole too big and then ur f'd up.

 

oh btw any side markers will work as long as you have butt connectors & splice them.

I was going for a pair of these on my cl, only b/c my corners are clear too & i have those other jdm markers on my hatch

There are sidemarkers that you have to cut a pretty big square out of your panel and there are others that you drill a round hole and then there are 2 screws that hold the light to the fender. IMO the ones with the square are better.
