hi i was just wondering how hard is it to do the jdm side markers. is it a pain in the a**, and i have a black 04 civic, should i do the jdm amber or clear side markers.i dont know if i should do it yet cause i dont know if it will look right, so if any one has any pics please post them so i can see.thanks

 

its really not a pain in the ***... its just time consuming cuz u want em to be the same on both side ya know.. when we did mine, we had some little contraption that had 2 prongs on a pole.. so it was even on both sides.. ummm it depends on what theme you want ur car to be like... if u want like the black and white kinda theme i would go with fg2 type-r sidemarkers. or u can go dc5 amber... its up to you dude... i have a silver 05 coupe and i have fg2 (06 civic) type-r sidemarkers on mine and theyre clear.. but it goes good with the color of my car. ill post pics for you in a minute

 

 

what color do they blink

 

Whatever color blub you put in. Usually amber but I've seen white.

 

they blink white

 

EM2***** what did u use to cut your fender to fit the side marker?

 

was the electrical work a rookie job?

 

I used a Dremel to cut my fender and the wiring is really easy.

There's 3 ways to wire the sidemarkers. That I know of anyway. I tapped the wires that run to the turn signals. There are 3 wires, black, red, and green you will only tap two.
1)Side markers on all the time - One wire to red and the other to black.
2)Side markers blink only - One wire to green and the other to black.
3)Side markers on all the time and blink alternately of headlights - One wire to green and the other to red.

 

its not hard to do the wiring .. all i used were splice taps
theyre like plastic to connect the wires ... very easy and used a dremel

also use the template e-mail me or pm me i have th epdf of the template

BTW it would make it easier if you get the wiring harness from passwordjdm the honda ones are difficult to cut around and extend

These things are ****. Spawn of the devil, don't use them. Do it properly.

 

noob

 

i used a dremel. and the wiring wasnt rookie.. my friend wires cars for a profession and he did mine. didnt splice the wires.. re-did everything from the switch down

 

why?

 

im gonna be wiring mine this friday, are u guys running dual filament bulbs?

 

umm idk if i am... theyre whatever bulbs came in the type-r civics.. so i think they are dual filament.. cuz theyre way bright
