i have a 4 door ef and i want to make the tail lights yellow turn signals stay on but they still have to work while using the turn signal i seen it on some civics and it looks good

Fo-Do Fanatic

Umm, no you haven't. Annddd it's stupid. Have a nice day.

OD

wire the ground from the turn signals to the park light positive, that might work. it did for my accord

hibrydef

I will agree that it does look cool. doesn't seem too time consuming either. Nice little weekender there.

oh god... i can see this is going to be the next trend.

There's nothing like messing up the wiring on a perfectly good car for the next owner to figure out how to fix.

DCRB

this.

o/p, i'm not sure what you are trying to emulate, but there's a reason why the amber turn signals in the rear ONLY light up when you are making a lane change. i wouldn't be suprised if a cop gave you a fix it ticket for your turn signals always being on.

it will never end. Do any mad tyte JDM civics have this?? maybe that is why

lunalink

lol. its the next JDM thing yo!

pretty much.

OP do you want it as a daily or just for weekends? I would never do this to my own car. but if you wanna try it go ahead post pics if you do..

hibrydef

boy you guys get awful touchy if something doens't fit in a nice little everyone else is doing it package. O/P like i said, do what you want, thats exactly what every one should do... along with mind their own business if they feel the need to wine :'(

It's spelled "whine."

It's a public forum, if you don't like it when people disagree with stupid ideas, gtfo.

Leave the signal lights and other **** pertaining to safety alone. Do us all that solid.

Dont see anything wrong with this idea. If you do get it done take some pics. I was thinking of doing this but with the front bumper lights. Would like em to turn on when my corners are on. Besides how would a cop know that your turn signals arent supposed to be on??? As long as they blink everything should be fine.....just guessing though.

Civicfanatic_09

It is perfectly legal as long as the still blink when you are turning, I did it to my CR-X front bumper lights and it looked awsome. To do it to the tail turn signals you could do the same thing I did. Get the turn signal plugs and bulbs from a 92 civic. That way you can wire it correctly with the dimmer light being on when you parking lights are on and the brighter side illuminating when you turn. You will just have to run one of the wires on the new sockets to the tail light power wire. But if you do it I would solder and heat shrink the wires along with electrical tape so nothing grounds out or comes loose. If you need help doing this PM me and I will draw you a diagram of how I did it.

I predict that the next modification if the fast blinkers!

HYPER BLINK!

projekt90ef

someone ever changed a lane in front of me with "perma-on" blinkers, id get in front of them an throw a wrench out the window. i hope you do it and end up getting rammed my a soccer mom hummer that didnt have a clue of what you thought would be a cool thing to do

hibrydef

You're right, all those blinker related fatalities aren't anything to joke about. Its more dangerous for a person to blink while driving than to rewire his blinkers. Think about it, all that time could be dedicated to staring at other peoples stock lights.

fatalities is a bit much...

DCRB

i still don't think it is a good or safe idea for the rear lights. the fronts are ok, because cars come with bumper lights that are on solid and then blink as well. plus there are other lights on the front of the car that are there just to blink with the signals. i suppose i could see it being ok if the turn signal part was red, so that it looked like it was supposed to be one (see all vehicles with tail lights that use the same bulb for the rear running lights, brake lights AND turn signal lights such as most chevy's and fords and lots of other newer and older vehicles)

skipbudlong

You're missing the point here man. The point is someone thinking outside the box, outside the "JDM" mentality we are all accustomed too. Because your "projekt90ef" isn't an EF its an ED. If you cant see a light blinking for a lane change, you shouldnt be on the road.

gforce_eg6

damn..circa 1987.

we used to call these "ambers". basically you changed the single filament bulb holder to a dual and run the parking lights to the "dimmer" filament while the original wire was connected to the "brighter" filament so it would still work as a turn signal. wire an in-line switch to turn it off when the cops were around..

I used it when cruising/show off and signal other racers/ricers that we wanted to race...yea, was young and stupid then.

JDMEF

i think it looks koo in the front. i agree with skipbudlong .. let us know if it works, then find out how to do it in the front. Then show me how! lol

DCRB

front is easy. you get the turn signal plugs from an eg (which uses a dual filament bulb) and just run a power wire from the corner marker that is just a running light for the dimmer filament

~sp33~

OMG HE'S TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT AT THE SAME TIME.

Damn, that car must be fast, check out the speed of its blinkers.
