i have searched but i cant find the answer im looking for. so if you found a link to my answer then thanks but if not and you can still help me thanks for that too

the car i bouhgt had the actual sidemarkers already installe don teh fenders... i thought they were hpooked up and jsut didnt work so i took them off to see whats up and the wires jsut stop (liek dont go anywhere) so im wondering how exactly do i install these? like wires-wise if you could help me that would be great. and i am trying to get these into a Dc.

 

You just need to connect them to the turn signal wires.

On '98+ Integras, those are the green wire and the black wire on the bumper lamps. I have not confirmed whether these colours are the same on other Integra model years.

 

but theres two wires on the back of the sidemarker.. one black and one white... what is the other wire for then?

One is the positive wire, one is the ground wire.

 

okay so it wouldnt really matter wich wire i use for what then? and i have a 95 integra but i could imagine their the same... the for EACH sidemarker i would take one wire and ground it.. then the other wire and tap it into what? the outer bulb in the corner lense... or the inner one... in other words the smaller or the bigger one. cus i know that the one on the outside of it is the smaller on and the one on the inside is 1157 size i believe

 

Yes, you want to ground one wire (should be the black one) on each side marker. Then you want to connect the white wires to the positive leads for the turn signals. These will be on the large 1157 bulbs. However, the 1157 socket will have 3 wires (a turn signal, a parking light, and a ground), so you want to be sure you are connecting them to the turn signal wires. You should be able to tell which is the turn signal, because it will be a different colour than the wire that is connected to the smaller wedge bulb in the corner lamp.

 

so two of the wires will be the same color and one wont? im kind of confused as to what wire is the turn signal wire

 

The parking light wire on the small wedge bulb socket should be the same colour as the parking light wire on the larger 1157 bulb socket. Therefore, the wire that is not found on the smaller wedge bulb should be the turn signal positive lead.

 

ohh i think i got it.. so i tap it into the wire that is singled out... where there is no other color of that wire

 

Yes, that should do it. As I said, the wire colours for the '98 Integra are as follows:

Green = turn signal positive

Black = ground

Yours may or may not match these colours.
