I've been getting a lot of questions about upgrading from non-HID to HID so I added that part to my write-up.

There is a diagram on the first page for the headlights and side markers. The side markers if wired right will only blink when the turn signal is on. If I remember correctly the wires you will use from the usdm turn signal is the green and black wire. If you have a multimeter you can double check to make sure that the green wire has power when the turn signal is on.

Hey everyone I just put on my ITR front end, and a few of my bulbs are dead.. and it's a bit late and I want to make a list of bulbs to pick up at Advanced tomorrow or Monday... So am I to understand I need...

Foglight = H3 bulbs
High Beam = H1 bulb
Low beams I already have HID's

Thanks!

Are you saying that you have the ground and high beam wire connected? That is not a good idea since you will have a short from the ground and high beam which will cause major electrical problems.

^ the harness has it so the original high beam plug connects to the itr connector and has two extra wires. one wire for the fogs and the other wire for the city lights. can just connect the power to the fogs? or the fogs gottah have its own seperate ground?

another question. is there a specific gauge of wire that should be used in this setup?

The fogs do not need a separate ground, all the grounds can be tied together.

16-14 AWG will work.

I have this same harness, i believe its the jdm one since it came with the switch i purchased. which one of these wires would be equivalent to the green from the OEM cruise switch?

It looks like wire number 2 in that picture but I would just compare your connector and the picture I posted to figure out which wire goes where.

Depends on what year your car is. I believe the older integra abs gets in the way and you have to bend the lines out of the way but I've never actually done it myself so I'm not 100 % sure.

Ya it's a 1995, well I guess imma have to try and fit it. I was under the Impression I had to buy a aftermarket hid kit. I'd rather not. my abs light is on too, wish I could jus remove that thing

couldnt figure out what went wrong with my wire up. gonna start over again next week. is there a way where you can have the foglights running as a daylight running lights? i would like to have that done instead of you only can run them when the parking lights or low beams are on.

thinking about splicing my power wire from my rear windshield wiper. and changing the fuse to a 30 amp fuse so it can power the foglight. dont know if its a good idea. but tell me before i do it next week.

I had a quick question, maybe I didn't see it. My GSR is a 95 and I have the turn signals that flash on and off, one after the other(meaning the three wire and two wire bulbs take turns when parking lights are on) instead of the all flash on/off when parking lights are off. I am wondering if ths will cause a probem with my city lights possibly flashing because of this. I can always grab power from somewhere else though. Anyone experience this problem before? Just a heads up.

I have read somewhere also on how to eliminate the turn signals from doing this like the newer integra's. I would probably just pull the power from the turn signals for the fender side markers if that helps anyone but having them alternate like oem would be sweet but I dont want my markes on while driving.

I am may be missing the boat also....I have a 95 gsr with Non HID type r. I just have confusion with corner and sidemarker wiring.

This is what I did:
CORNER- splice red and green with ground black connected and I get a short or my blinkers do not work.

SIDEMARKER- add sidemarker wiring with green and ground black wires and no signal just running lights work.

Disconnected everything and just did green and black to the corners and running without running lights....I CAN NOT get the running lights to stay on with the blinker!! Do I need to get a new flasher or is there something else I should check. I have blown out 5 fuses and tried to wire these two bulbs every which way with a friend of mine that is fairly knowledgeable about electricity and auto wiring...we are stumped for once and I lost. I thought it would be cut and dry......like this..........
Wire the corner with the green and red for corner and turning.....
Splice the sidemarker bulb with green and off I go........ what am I missing?

you have two lights in your bumper for the turn signals take the little one and run them to your side markers take the other one the larger bulb and mod the connecter to fit into the side corners on your jdm headlight. simple i have a ? in your diagram you have the blue wire for low beam connected to number 4 on the brown connecter for the headlight. where does the ground wire go for it? i have hids

All the grounds go to pin number 3 on the brown connector.
