Ok i love my cl to death as we all do but its the little things that need to be changed..... little things like being able to have the foglights come on without having the the headlights on with them. Well that was todays project.. I have done it! sorry if this is a repost but i'm f-n happy about it..... it took like 2 hrs but its well worth it.... look



also when i loch or unlock her they flash soooo sexy

 

nice!

 

looks good! Congrats on your little project! I'm definitely digging those rims, but it's time for a drop.

 

can you post a DIY for this?

 

what bulbs do you have in your roadlamps?

 

I would drop it but the rims are 8.5' so they will rub like hell. i love these wheels i can't part with them.

 

i used PIAA's they are 12v/18watts
and i have the same to light up my rear tag

 

just because they are 8.5 doesnt mean they will rub. it all depends on your offset and tire sizing.

i think you need a drop for sure. even if its a slight drop like tein h-tech

 

Post a DIY! I've wanted to do this for a while. Did you just wire them up through the parking lights?

 

It's pretty easy, just wire the ground and power wires to the parking lights. No biggie...you don't have to be electronically inclined to do it.

 

yes, the problem i ran into was that the fog lamp on the passengers (rt) side had 3 wires comming out.... 2 red with a green stripe and 1 black. What you have to do is connect the 2 reds together and take the remainning red from the fog lamp and wire it into the red/black wire from the blinker.
But on the drivers side is much easyer their is only 2 wires, black and a red with yellow stripe, cut the red/yellow and run it to the blinker.... blinker is the came color for both sides.

hope this helps... it took me a little trial and error.. but i got in done in about 1hr
it just sucks that you have to take the hole front end apart.

 

You shouldnt need to take the "whole front end" apart. I did this with just removing some of the weather stripping or whatever that stuff is called it the wheel well..

 

Question...does it now blink with the blinker?

 

If done right, it doesn't. They are wired to parking lights, not turn signals, though that can be achieved as well.

 

NO, they don't blink, only with the alarm. the wire in between the red and black controlls the flashing. i have some night pict's

 

yo, ur the 2nd person ive seen with md tags folded in the front bumper inlets. Ive seen on a civic first some where on the forum. i what to try it, but don't want it to look to rice.

Anyways, road lamp re-wire looks good . It should of came factory.

 

haha that was my black civic, rice or not i like it. I've only been warned by a state trooper once.. but 3 cars ago on my svt contour. that guy was a dush .. he said it's destruction of govrement property... bullshit i paied for them i can do what i want! THANKS

I HATE THE TAG BRACKET IT TAKES AWAY THE DIVIDING LINE.

 

haha...i guess ur the only one then. i think its cool. it looks kind of euroish when looked at staight ahead. that trooper was probably hatein...

How was the svt?...i always wanted one when i had an escort.

 

btw, what wheels are those? judging by the pic, they stick out pretty far slmost flush with the wheel well. I would do Tein H-tech.

 

My first car was a 94 esscort GT but My SVT was sweet. God i loved that car sooo much. i repainted it so nobody had my color. Put a custome exhause on it.. sounded like a V8 mustang and alot of little things. i was pushing 275ish and 240 tork. it MOVED for a 4 door but a drunk driver took her from me at a red light and he had no inc. i wanted to kill him but i was in the back of the stupid ambulance. if i can find a pict i'll post it.

 

The wheels are FITTIPALDI's. They do stick out 1/2 inch so I'll lower it when i get some back up wheels.

 

hey, so how did you do that once again? i read what greenmachine posted, and i was like WHAT? lol i'm just ZERO at this, have no idea what to do.. haha

can you please help out? and btw, what kind of bulbs did you use?

 

dude hate to break it to you, but you've been living a lie: its satUrday man...its just bothering me as much as it bothered you that you could only get your for lamps on with the headlights: yeah for no reason...i like what you've done btw

 

haha, I was gonna say i'm surprised you could do any of that considering your spelling is at the 3rd grade level...

 

THATS FUNNY... YEAH my spelling it not that good because i have a reading disability so it effects with my spelling... O-well still what i lack in spelling i make up in other shit.... just one of God's little rejects, hahaha

 

that's just f'ing rude.

 

so is disrupting our fun...lol i can speak for myself, but im pretty sure all of us hear are completely joking...this thread was started by a good man, i mean he bought an acura for one, and he did a little switch many have thought about before...

oh yeah who doesnt make mistakes spelling...especially on forums, its just funny its in the title, thats all...like anyone really gives a shit. like in my response, i meant *fog* lamps...

ok as you all were.

 

aahhhhh, *all of us HERE*...lol ok so i cant spell nor can i change acura's wiring...haha. oh, but at least im not "f'in rude" like other people on page 2 of this thread. lol j/k.

 

Yo for that plate did u fill in and paint the plate holes or did your car just never come with them drilled?

I like what you did with the plate - Also hate the way it ruins the front end in it's stock location, i was thinking of getting one of the Evo style mounts and tucking it down low and off of to one side or something.

 

No, i had a tag bracket the looper under the front mouth. so no holes but it did scrach my bumper. I hate front tags!! i'll get around to repainting it this spring.
