Default Sidemarker install on a 6gen

Well, i just bought some sidemarkers and was wondering the electrical part of the install. I havea 1998 4 cylinder accord, and i know about the templates, the installation of getting the sidemarkers on the car but i don't know the electrical part (as in, hooking it up). Is there a step by step detailed guide for a 6 gen. Here are some pictures of the sidemarkers:


Also what is grounding, and tapping a wire lol, i'm a newbie with electrical stuff, i rather look stoopid by asking this question and learning from it . thanks for anyhelp

you gonna need a dremel to cut a slot of the sidemarker.

put masking tape over the clean surface which you want to cut out(um..measure twice, cut once) , and use the dremel cutting disk to do the rest.
remember you can always enlarge a hole but if you cut too wide, lol you=fwaked.

as for the electrical part, let us know what type of blub are you using(single filament/dual filament? how you want it to flash? turn on with headlight? etc)

and BTW, you can't link picture from your harddrive and expect us to see it

Thanks for the tip and i want it to flash when the turn signals are engaged and turn on when the parking lights are on as well. And all i know is the bulb is 12v 5w lol. The bulb actually looks like this http://images.search.yahoo.com...UTF-8

i dont believe a single bulb can do that without running some sort of relay

Actually it depends on the OEM circuit. I've forgotten how the 6th Gens are but with my 5th Gen I have it connected to the portion of the corner light that blinks...and while the parking light's on it's constantly on until I use the turn signal...which then it blinks on and off.
