you're going to have to wire up the city lights to your parking lights for them to work...you're gonna need: butt connectors,wire,electric tape, and a light tester. Just off of the top of my head, sorry if i forgot something...hope this helps...not too hard to do, good luck

wire it to the parking lights, there are 3 wires use the red and the black, if you wanna add side markers use the green and the black .

yeah just tap into the red/yel(+) and the black(-) wire on your actually corner lense socket. (jdm way) so that the corners and the "running light"or city light work at the same time.

Did you know that the Civics in Japan don't have constant running corner lights or side markers? They just blink. That's why the socket on the JDM stanley corners is a 1156, and not an 1157 bulb like the US ones. ANd I have noticed on a few RHD civics around the area, that they light up this way (for those of you who have any Honda JDM taillights, notice how none of them have the side bulb socket in the rear) this is just me trying to be a know it all here on H-T, but as for the city light, I just wired up mine to run with the parking lights. What would be cool is to wire it up to a relay so that it turns on with parking lights, but turns back off when the headlights are turned on. Can't really see them when the lights are on, and they might last a lot longer.

you know you could have made your city lights for about 15 bucks. I did and they look awsome. You cant even tell that i made them. Also the wireing way is to have the city lights as your parking lights and your turn signal as the turning indicator only. and same with a side marker light. They are used only for indicating.
