Also, are the 92-96 JDM Prelude sidemarkers the same as the CTR ones?

keep the opinions coming. So far, I myself have kind of been leaning to the side of getting them. Its just so tough because if you put them on and hate it, you can't readily take them off (as you can with other parts).

Heres a pic of JDM 92-96 Prelude sidemarkers.



I think they're the same?

why get the prelude ones when the correct ones you now for sure are just as readily available.

if you dont LIKE the look of sidemarkers right away then dont get it. dont make yourself get something because all the **** with egs think jdm is cool rocken their little gay wakaba badges

do the sidemarkers yourself. don't buy jdm ones. imo, the jdm ones look fugly; they're tilted (with the body line, but still :S) and look weird since its not in-line with the fender side molding.

Eh, im not following a fad or anything. I mean I really do like them, I guess I just wanted to hear some other opinions for the sake of what I said earlier, that once they're on - its kind of a done deal. So I just wanted to see a general concensus.

The reason for getting the prelude ones is because I can get em for $12 shipped and it looks exactly the same, except maybe a dark lense, which I'd actually prefer.

ok then youll like them
dont worry about cutting up your fenders, if you plan on keeping your car then just do it. its not a big deal. just make sure u get some oem paintbrush things they sell and paint the little cuts. seems to help mine from rusting

Personally I wouldn't do it. I dont think they look bad... but I also dont think they look that good. Just a personal preference really.

bought em. I plan to wire them so that they only blink with the turn indicator, no other time. Is that the correct way that you were referring to?

Are you guys talking about when they are on with the headlights and blink opposite the turn signals? How is that the "wrong way" to wire them. They are <u>JDM sidemarkers</u>, they should be wired as such.
