Side markers... various questions
A thread has somewhat covered one aspect. But I want a definite. The cut that must be made in the fender is
a. circular
b. rectangular, same shape as sidemarker just a bit smaller all around
c. something else ?
What makes the sidemarker stick to the side of the car? A tape-type of sticky adhesive?
And the paint that is chipped and cracked around the whole is covered up by the sidemarker.
Now, on JHPusa.com or passwordjdm.com ... one of those sites says bulbs sold seperately. Where do I get the bulbs, and where do I find out which ones to get?
Lastly. How difficult is the wiring process? Is it a fairly simple process or a complicated one. A fellow on here showed a right up with non-Honda sidemarkers and I would like to know if there is any difference or anything like that. I like to be informed before I order stuff Thanks to whoever can help me out

Re: Side markers... various questions (Si Arn)
im gonna answer the wiring question and let the other questions for others to answer All you have to do is tap into the turn signal wire and ground the other wire. If you wanna be cool you could get a bulb and socket like your turn signal bulbs. Wire one wire to you parking light wire so the side marker will be on with parking lights and/or headlights, the other wire to the turn signal wire and ground the other wire. This way it would act like all your other turn signals.... light up with lights and even brighter for turn signal.

Re: Side markers... various questions (doublejz)
the sidemarker you have determines the shape of the cut-out on the fender.
the shape of the cut-out on the fender holds the marker in place.
buy the sidemarkers with the bulb and wire. or call the dealer and and see if they have the bulbs.
if you do it right there should be no paint chipping.
if your not sure about any of these things, go to a body shop and have them install it.
