DIY: Citylights on 94-00 USDM Integra Headlight
I've been pm' alot about how I did my city lights on my USDM integra headlights on a 94-00 model. So I decided to share my ideas to my fellow honda-tech members with 94-00 Integra with USDM headlights.
Materials:
~194A Stanley Sockets prt#34304-SH3-AO1
~Female Connectors
~Electrical Tape
~Crimps for wires
~194A bulbs (yellow, amber, clear, doesnt matter what color all up to you)
~10mm socket
~Phillip Screw driver
~Electric drill
~Drillmill sander size of the circumfrence of socket
~Masking Tape
~Metal Nibbler
~14G Wires
~Butterfly connectors
Instructions:
~Step 1: First take out the two screws on the corner of the bumper connected to the bumper and take the top screws on the metal plate on top of the bumper.
~Step 2: remove the 2 10mm bolts on the bottom of the bumper and top of bumper on radiator support.
~Step 3: Take a phillip screw driver and remove the screws on the signal corners and remove lights, then take 10mm socket and remove the 4 bolts holding down the head light.
~Step 4: Clean headlight and take a masking tape and place on bottom of the highbeam light housing and mark 1-1/2 inch to mark the whole.
~Step 5: Take a 1/8 drill bit and drill straight through highbeam headlight housing.
~Step 6: Trace the 194 socket on the tape make sure its in the middle of the hole you made with the drill.
~Step 7: Drill inside the traced circle and make sure you drill to the chrome housing as well, be very careful.
~Step 8: Now once you have made that hole, take a drillmill and drill through to make a smooth looking hole for the socket.
~Step 9: On the socket, there are three pieces around it to fit like a key, you are going to take a metal nibbler and cut 3 spaces for the socket to fit in correctly.
~Step 10: Make sure the socket fits if not sand it down with the drillmill.
~Step 11: Take two female connectors and crimp the wires on them.
~Step 12: Locate the 1157 socket, there is a red and black connection, take two butterly connectors and connect one wire to the red connection and clamp it with the butterfly connector and clamp the other butterfly connector with the other wire onto the black wire. Some like to connect it to a toggle switch but its up to you.
~Step 13: Put everything back together and make sure everything is working perfectly.
~Step 14: Wait till the sun is down and enjoy!
GOOD LUCK!
Heres how it looks like completed
Hope you guys like it

I saw this about a month or something ago in another thread (one that you didn't start I don't think) and I was thinking about doing it, but couldn't water leak into the hole really easily and fog the headlight? Have you had problems with that? Also, could you take more high-quality pictures with the lights please? TIA

Re: (00IntegrAllmotoR)
I never had any problems with water leak or what soever, the sockets have a black o-ring seal onto it so it is not possible for water to leak in it.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 00IntegrAllmotoR »</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">Correct me if im wrong, but dont city lights stay on during day without headlights on.

K thanks, do you have a pic during day? And when you turn on your highbeams these turn off correct?

Re: (00IntegrAllmotoR)
Cool write up I have been thinking of doing this for a long time but using leds instead just in case of bulbs burning out I wouldn't have to go through a lot of trouble to change them. I also thought about putting them right next to the high beam bulb.

During the day, they should be roughly as visible as USDM parking lights. And they should remain lit when the high beams are switched on.

Oh yeah for anyone with an EK it goes the same way, just simply locate the city light port on the back of your headlight, you will see it, its circle right next to the headlight port, its a smaller circle the size of a socket, I did my brothers EK and my cousins, different years. 96-98 USDM retro fitted city lights on a EK, this is my brothers
and here is my cousin's 99+ usdm retrofitted city lights!
