This is for those that want to make all the sections of the taillights lit, when turning on the lights. Hope this helps those who want to do this project. Im sure there are many different ways of doing this, but this is what I did.

DISCLAIMER: Do this at your OWN RISK. If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, find a local shop to have it done. Im not responsible, if you catch your car on fire or something doesn't work, because you did something wrong. I did this and its working just fine. Also, for those people that have amber signals in there tails(JDM/94-97 USDM) or clear signals in there tails(EDM/aftermarket), find out about the local laws before doing this mod. Happy Modding

Tools Needed:
~8mm wrench
~wire cutter/stripper
~solder and soldering gun(recommended)(route I took)
~heat shrink
~butt connectors(if you chose this over soldering)
~electrical tape
~razor blade(optional)
~(2) 1157 sockets. I got mine from another 94-01 Integra at the junk yard
~20awg wire. 6-10"(optional)

Wiring colors/stripe:
~red/black - parking/running lights
~green/white - brake lights
~green/yellow - signal lights
~black w/ brown spots - ground


remove the taillights by screwing off the nuts, using an 8mm wrench
remove the plug that has red and green wires coming from it


there are a couple wire clips that needs to be removed, to expose another hidden nut




this is what you should have in your hand. 1 grey(brake/taillights) and 1 black socket(signal)
this is the left taillight, but its the same for the right taillight


modify the 1157 socket, so it would fit in the hole for the signal section of the taillight. use a razor blade to cut the tabs. I circled the tab I cut
BEFORE

AFTER


cut the signal wires and set the socket to the side. I chose to throw mine away


start matching wire colors to the new 1157 socket you will be using


I added a 6-10" 20awg wire to the red/black wire on the new 1157 socket
(optional)


I also chose not to cut the red/black wire from the original socket. instead I just stripped the protective coating around the wire, as seen in pic


there is a green/white wire(brake lights) and a green/yellow wire(signal lights). go ahead and connect them together, as this will be your signal lights.


once all the wires are soldered/butt connected, this is what it should roughly look like


tuck everything back in its place. you should now have 2 grey 1157 sockets


install the taillights and plug the wire connector back on. if everything works, tighten the nuts if you haven't done it yet.

Nice tutorial bro! Got any more after pics at night? I'm definitely going to give this a go this summer.

Was slightly worried when I read the thread title, but this is actually a pretty cool idea. Nice job OP.

Thank you all

I can. What kind of pics would you like to see?

Just a picture at night that shows the whole rear end of the car so we can see what it looks like from behind with this mod. I'm probably going to do this mod within the next two weeks or so

aight, I can do that.

I was thinking of making the signal part a running light/brake light/signal light in one. So the whole back lights up when you hit the brake. Like you see on just about all American cars. The plug would need to have 4 wires, 1 for the brake, 1 for the running light, 1 for the signal and 1 for the ground. It wouldn't be much work, just an added step.

I was thinking about doing this later on down the road, but seeing if someone wants to take this challenge?

I think that may be too much. There's a youtube video of a guy that setup his tails like the newer mustangs which is nice, but not for me.

^^^whoa, agree, to much!!!!

I was just thinking of the signal part of it only. Not the whole taillight.
