Im sure its possible but does anyone know how you could make your bumper lights stay on all the time when you have your headlights on instead of just when you have the turn signal on..I think it would be pretty neat looking

 

Its been done.
Theres a thread about it.... search it out

 

duhh I didnt even think to search first..and im not even a noob

 

I did it just the other week actually. I have clear front bumper lights and used clear bulbs, they come on with my parking lights now and they actually put out a decent amount of light, haven't tried them in the fog yet.

Anyways, for my setup what I did was basically cut the wires going to the two turn signal bulbs and the bumper light. You can wire it however you want, I wired mine so that both of the turn signal lights are wired to the flasher and the bumper lights are wired to the parking lights. Take out your inner fender liners first so you can keep the wires tucked up in there, and use heatshrink connectors to keep the weather out.

Before you decide how you want to wire it, you should know that if you wire the bumper lights to stay on all the time, your turn signals will have a shortened circuit and be about twice as fast as normal.

 

y can't you just buy two element bulbs and sockets and wire them up and run your extra wire the the parking light.

I honestly have very little clue what you're trying to say....all the lights already have bulbs, it's a matter or whether you're hooking them up to the parking lights or the turn signals that determines when they're on, not the bulbs.

 

i did this to my cb7.
1st I got two civic corner light sockets (they have 3 wires coming off) 2nd i cut the sockets off of the cb7 bumper lights then wired the civic sockets pos to pos and neg neg then for the 3nd wire i wired it up to the postive wire on the corner light and you will need the 1157 bulbs for the bumper lights. this mod only took my like 15mins to do

He's saying a double filament bulb and their respective harness/socket. Like on almost all brake/tail light bulbs....

 

i tried searching.. but i'm a n00b. Can someone point me to the thread? Thanks

 

Wire the bumper lights in with your corner lights.

 

you need to get the civic turn signal harness w/ bulb connector still attached to it, to do this conversion.

is this so that the amount of power to the new flashing lights is balanced.. and so you won't get the "fast-flash-light out" warning?

 

I spliced mine in and they're working just fine.

 

 

 

I did this mod on my 1990 Accord but I used old brake light sockets from a 1985 Accord instead. Why did Honda change this? On older models that's how they were already.
