UPDATE !

alright so after an hour long drive and 20 bucks later I now have the bumper at home actually in front of me here's what i'm looking at wire wise ...

Each parking sensor is running off a relay box which has 3 wires (tan,black& white) which i take it are positive negative & one that connects to the switch ...

Each fog lamp has two wires running off of them a black wire and a black w/red stripe ... which i'm taking it is the ground and power and i'll have to wire up a switch to the positive if i'm thinking right.

So hopefully i'm going in the right direction ... if you guys have any advice, positive comments or ideas feel free to lemme know. I'm gonna need all the help i can get

Can you explain to me what exactly a parking sensor is?

 

If I'm not mistaken it's that stupid thing that beeps at you when you get too close to something with your front bumper.

Hmmm, that sounds like it would be really difficult to wire up.

Yes ... that's pretty much all it does. Before everyone starts yelling JDM bandwagon etc. etc. I picked it up for one hell of a deal figured i might as well run all the accessories even if they are kind of stupid but hey who knows maybe this parking sensor will save my lip one day

although i am using wings west lips so i'm not worried about them breaking anytime soon

 

Sorry, I wish I could be of more help. I have no idea.

Yeah ... I'm pretty boggled myself with it.

No one wanted your opinion so please exit right ... as far as me payin for the beat up crap i paid for a hell of a price which included the stanley fogs, as for the damage it's all paint seeing how i'm getting my car repainted soon i'm not worried about it

 

Yeah I have NO clue as to how you would even start wiring them up. To be honest I'm not worried about breaking my new CF Mugen lip by running into anything... it'll be from the speedbumps at my school.

Haha ... my bro just broke his mugen lip on a speed bump a couple of hours ago, atleast it was just the ABS version ... Wings West &gt; ALL

From what I can tell, it's just scratched paint. And it wouldn't have matched his car to begin with, he would've needed to get it painted reguardless. Thanks for being a ****** about things though.

 

Looks like that bumper fell the expletive out of the space shuttle. I didn't know UPS did that. I hope those scratches are superficial and not gouges in the plastic.

I'm sure if you got a good deal, though, that you paid less for everything than the foglights would cost new

Yeah the ******** put in 5" tall speedbumps at my school in order to "stop kids from running the stop sign." I wrote a letter to the school and the local newspaper about how I was going to charge the school $647.95 for my WS2 and installation. The paper printed it, and they took one of them out.

Now I just have to figure out how to get around the other one...

 

I can't really see any of the wiring to them, but they may be wired up like an alarm. I don't know if it's an increasing tone or not, but you could possibly wire it up to your lights on buzzer (if you have one). I'd be willing to bet it has a constant power, a ground, and either a negative or a positive signal wire if it's not an increasing tone based on distance between the sensors and the object. I've never heard of this nor seen it before.

That's what I was thinking as well, though I'm not sure if it would work or not. This whole thing is foreign (no pun intended) to me..

 

good luck on finding out how to wire this up

 

Great buy! who cares about the bandwagon BS....its what you like and it is easily reversible if you ever want to sell the car...Now get it painted and put it on!!

 

the reasons for the white marks is that I had it placed in my closet and the dry wall is rubbing off on it, also the bumper is primered black and all your seeing is just little scratches and no gouges at all. from what I heard the parking sensors are a 600 dollar option from honda of japan, I think HT member cxSHOE had given me this information a long while back.

 

that's cool as ****, never even knew about honda parking sensors. good luck on wiring it up

 

bump for some 4 doors parts, hope you get some help

dang i wish i had a new front bumper

 

are the parking sensors OEM honda? i think they are aftermarket stuff. but if its JDM aftermarket its still JDM

good find if you got it really cheap, not put the camera down and put it on

 

an eg9 is a 4dr? (sorry for my ignorance, ive been spending all my time in the EF forums, EF8 = CRX SiR and EF9 = civic SiR)

 

it's actually an OEM part from honda from japan, they're discontinued I believe so I wouldn't know the part#, from what I've heard it does make a beeping noise in the cabin notifying you that you are very close to an object, the wiring part of it?, hell I don't even know

 

yeah, many high end cars have them now, like mercedes, bmw and land rovers.

i just never heard of them as a factory option for a civic. can you post a close up pic of the sensor to see honda on them
