Wireing bumperlights(the right way)
What you need to run bumperlights in a constant fashon is a duel filament bulb. I used 92-95 Civic front corner bulbs. These are the ones that run constant and blink for the front turn signals. Find a wrecked Civic and cut the bulb harness out. leave about 4 inches of wireing comming out of the back of the housing that plugs into the bulb. The Civic bulb housing will plug perfectly into the Cl bumperlight housing, just like the stock ones do! There are three wires on the Civic bulbs. these wires are the same color code as the wireing on your Cl. The third wire is the constant. Just tap that one into the bulb that runs constant(the bulb that lights when you switch on you running lights). The other two wires match up with the two wires comming out of the blinker harness for your stock CL blinkers. Cut off the stock blinker harness and match the color of the two wires(ground and power). If these instructions confuse you. Just get the Civic bulb harnesses however you can and check them out compared to the stock Cl ones. You will notice right away what to do. Its really simple. Try it out guys.

Show a pic. of how it looks at night. Believe me, when you see how good the bumper lights look at night, everyone on this forum will want this conversion. I cant wait to get my sidemarker lights on because they are amber also. Should look sweet all the way around.

When I cut out the bulb harnesses, they had the stock bulbs in them and thats what I used. I forgot the bulb number. 92-95 Civic duel filament.

Our lights are the same design as Integra's, except ours are flipped upside-down and on opposite sides. Integra's mount different too. Integra's light up the same as ours too, so you could do the same conversion on them.
