well the DA's have 2 wires and how they light up is basically however you wire them. if you want them to light up when your corners are on then splice them into those corner wires. if you want them to just blink splice them into the bumper lights or the corner wires that just blink. hth

If you want them to function as the 94-97 corner wedge bulb does, just tap 2 wires into those. If you want them only to signal (proper operation) then tap 2 wires into the turn signal and ground wires of the larger bumper light bulb.

you want to tap BOTH leads of the sidemarker bulb into BOTH 12V+ of the parking light and signal 12V+ leads. You do not hook up any grounds trying to do what you want. I know it may sounds weird, hooking up 2 12V+ wires into a bulb and no ground. But thats the easiest and cleanest way to do what you want.

If the application is a 94-97 Integra, you can just tap the 2 wedge bulb wires in the bumper light, since that bulb operates as described above.

In case you're wondering, the bulb is grounded by passing through the larger 1157 bulb's positive wire, going through the filament, and then out the 1157's negative wire. When the 1157 turn signal comes on, the current to the wedge bulb is interrupted, and makes it go off.
