I have them on my EG and I think they're pretty cool, but I haven't had another Civic enthusiast notice them yet. I did finally have someone notice and say something about the power fold mirrors!! Good news.

Think so, but 194 is generally what is used for a city light, unless you have a dual filament socket and dual filament bulbs ... but then it's just another turn signal

yes those are your city light sockets, they do use your standard #168, and they will look like this
