jdm front end(hid) wiring question
so before i start cutting and spicing everything i have a 1998 gsr and i want to confirm a few things.
1. my front end only came with 1 turn signal socket so i have to use my usdm one. so i won't be able to do it the "jdm way" where the corner only blink when turn signal is on. now the jdm socket had 2 wire (green n black) where the usdm have 3(green/black/red). if i was using the jdm socket i would of have to solder the green n black wire with my usdm green n black wire and the red goes to the city light. now that won't be happening in my case so i was wondering can i run the parking light power wire to the city light wire on the jdm harness? if so do i ground out the other wire also or do i let it hang since the jdm harness has a ground for all light already? all the diy i read this far, none of them state using the smaller socket on the front turn signal
2. for my side marker to work as a blinker is it as simple as slicing the green wire from the turn signal to the red wire on the side marker n ground the other wire?
3. what gauge wire do you guys recommend using for extending some wire if necessary. would i use the same gauge for fog light? also what relay amp would i need to use for the hid light n fog light? i was shopping relay and i see some said 30/40a and some said just 30a or 40a so i wasn't to sure n went home n research more but no diy state those small detail.

Re: jdm front end(hid) wiring question
TLDR? pw jdm harness is for a non hid . i could add a addition wire to the harness base on 1 of ht memeber diy but base on all the diy i gotta have a relay on each side of the head light for the hid, so it make more sense to do it myself. it pretty straight forward base on this diy. i just want to confirm certain material since my understanding with electrical is very small

Tldr : Too long didn't read (give a quick description of what you need instead of a whole paragraph)
https://honda-tech.com/forums/lighting-107/how-jdm-itr-hid-headlight-fog-light-wiring-2195061/ I think that'll answer your questions for wiring.
That link will show you how to wire up the side markers also.
For extending the wires try to keep it the same gauge, and make sure you solder and heat shrink everything.
