wow. you must not have searched very hard then. take 1 wire, and tap into power wire on corner lights. take the other wire and tap into power wire on the turn signal light.



done

^^^^^ that is how I did it on my 88 hatch but on my 90 sedan I had to wire it to the power and ground on the side marker circuit that stays on and blinks. Try his way first if that doesn't work try the way I said.

you dont need to add in a diode. you could also just splice in directly to both wires on the turn signal/corner light. i have them wired up the way i posted earlier on both my EK and my 90 crx. so idk why they arent working for you.

Having an issue getting this right I guess. Put one wire to the power wire on the blinker and the other wire to the power wire on the light that just stays on. The power wires for those are the red wire and the green wire correct? The problem is the side marker only blinks when the driving lights aren't on. Wen the driving lights are on and the blinker going it blinks intermittently but just barely. It is really dim. I want them to stay on with the driving lights and blink nice and bright! What did I do wrong?
