Could you please stop using the ellipsis incorrectly? That would be the "..." that you seem so fond of. If you don't know how to use periods, commas and question marks, go read a book until you grasp it.

As to your question, the side markers are amber and the foglights could be either clear or yellow depending on how they were ordered. Not like it matters, considering your car isn't going to be right-hand drive.

Your "SiR" is the same as our Civic Si coupe (EM1). The few differences are as follows:

1)The option to come in New Vogue Silver Metallic.

2)The gauge cluster does not have an "Si" moniker on the fuel/temp gauge. It has the "SiR" moniker on the MPH cluster.

3)The obvious ... the "SiR" rear emblem.

I'm sure there's a couple I'm missing, but overall, they're the same exact car.

Nope, those are Prelude side markers. They just happen to be the same shape as the amber Civic counterparts.

EDIT: EK4's did have clear markers, but the ones they sell, they just get from the US Honda dealer for a Prelude. They're the same ones .... they're just not hella EDM.

Oh, and the 99-00 UKDM/EDM VTi EK4 had clear sidemarkers, while 96-98 had amber sidemarkers like the JDM. Up to you how you want your look.





Here are pics of UKDM VTi EM1s...

Then don't add sidemarkers to it. Your car isn't supposed to have sidemarkers and never came with them.

The EM1 in the US and Canada did not have sidemarkers at all. Not in clear. not in amber.

I suspect what the OP is trying to accomplish is a JDM "SiR replica" in coupe form. Judging by the rest of his questions and comments, it probably began life as a USDM car, despite the Canadian comment.

In that case, what he wants are amber side markers, and JDM headlamps which feature the clear turn signals, no amber reflector, and amber bulbs.

Don't take it personally. He can't seem to help it.

Actually, it appears that it's a Mexican SiR coupe, which is the same as our Civic Si coupe. Both are EM1 chassis '99-'00 coupes.

And he said he wants to keep his SiR as original as possible, which would mean, no side markers.
