Default How to wire JDM sidemarkers closest to factory?

I'm doing a JDM fender sidemarker conversion to my 90 crx dx. I have the holes cut, I have the sidemarkers and the wire harness. Is there a write up out there on how to wire it to the fusebox and have it function the factory way?

-they should light up and stay on when activating the parking lights.

-they should blink on either side depending on which way you signal.

Yes, I've seen how everyone seems to either splice into the corner light wires, or the signal wires, but I don't see how you can get them to do both that way?

thanks in advance.

Wire one to the positive of the park circuit and the other to the positive of the blinker circuit and it will work the way you want.

Sorry, I'm really noob at electricity.

What did you mean by wire "one" to both of those positives? Do I splice the positive of the sidemarker? or did you mean wire the sidemarker positive to one and the sidemarker negative to the other?

sorry i was rushing when i replied. You are going to wire the side marker into the circuits that go to your corner lights by your headlights. First you will have to cut the positive wire that is going to the park light in your corner housing (make sure you leave enough room on both sides so you cant strip it and put it back together), then do the same to the blinker circuit on you corner light. Then take the side marker pig tail and wire one of the wires back into the park circuit and the other one to the blinker circuit. Do not cut the ground wires and you don't have to mess with the fuse box.

Here is the complete walk through that I used when I did mine it starts and cutting the holes in the fenders and goes all the way through to the wiring. http://www.tuner-junction.com/TJForu...html#post46773

CRX Toad I could not find a walk through in your faq section. A link would of been appreciated to said walk through.
