Default Location of JDM sidemarkers for 5th gens.

Just wanted to know if anyone knew exactly where on the front fenders the JDM sidemarkers go. I ordered some JDM Stanley sidemarkers and need to know where; pics would help. I want to try to get them as close as possible without having to locate the front fenders off an SiR in Japan. Searched and found nothing. Please help!

Does anybody know the exact location of where to put these? Any pics would be much appreciated.

nice pitures!

anyways, i used the masking tape to mask off the fender so that way i can write & draw something on the fender itself.

i don't know what kind you got, but installing JDM style side markers can be painful.... the best part was drilling hole and then use the nibbler to cut the fender panel.

nice pictures. the wheels are different in the front vs. the rear.

My sidemarkers aren't "jdm", but I think that on accords, mounting them low looks the best.

After a long back order issue with Options, I finally recieved my sidemarkers. I am planning on installing them within the next month, but they did not come with bulb sockets. I am sure I that I find a suitable bulb socket, but how do they blink in relation to the front turn signals? Do they blink with them, or do they just stay on with the parking lights? Also, will a dremel tool work to cut the hole once I have marked and masked my locations?

Generally, sidemarkers blink with the bumper turn signals, however you can wire them to alternate with the bumper turn signals if you want. Also, sidemarkers are also are generally turn signals, not parking or "running" lights. However, once again you can splice into the corner light wire to make it on with the corners, if you want. I personally just prefer them to be turn signals.

If you get the JDM(replica) headlights from autodynamic.com, you can use the extra corner light bulb socket which isn't used and just extend it to reach to the location of the sidemarker and splice it into the turn signal wire.

Yeah, I have the JDM replica headlights already, so I can use the extra bulb socket and extend it to the fender and have them blink with the turn signals. Thanks!

No wholesale license. I just bought them off of their website. The original price was higher, but I got them for the sale price. Like I said, it only came out to $42 after shipping.
