get a hold of your turn signal wire harness. there should be three wires. Connect the black wire to the negative wire on the side markers. Connect the red with black strip wire to the positive wire on the side marker. leave the green wire alone

also, make sure you toss a dual filament bulb in there or else they won't be able to stay on and blink

The correct answer to the OP's question has yet to be posted.

Search for "sidemarker" in post bodies of archive posts created by my user name and you'll find plenty of info.

OP: since you have a 97 Integra, the side 194 bulbs on your bumper lights should also come on and flash, the same way you want your side markers to function. An easy method would be to just tap those 2 wires and not mess with the 1157 bulb in the bumper light.

Yes, that will work to give you the correct sidemarker function of turn signal only. But that's not what the OP is looking for, as clearly stated in his post.

yep, and the process you described would make them blink only.
