Does anybody have any guides for drilling for sidemarkers on a 5th gen prelude?

 

my advice is to NOT put them on. looks cheezy.

 

Don't worry, I am not going to be putting in white ones

 

Here you have an exemple with this toy fitted: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...18206

However they are not side markers as allmost everybody thinks. They are turn direction flashers only.

 

Measure twice, drill once.

Not the same. I will try (due to my poor english) to explain you.

In US cars when you switch lights on the sidemarkers are on too. Sometimes (exemple civic 1992-1995) front sidemarkers share the same lamp as turn direction markers, using a double 5W/25W bulb. The 5W is used as side marker and 25W as turn direction marker.
In european passenger cars there is no side markers (with very very little exceptions as Volvo cars). The turn direction marker only blinks when you switch it. It doesn't rest on all the time with main lights on.

 

Like VW's side turn signals, i like em better

 

Yeah, it sucks the US spec 'ludes weren't made like this. It's more of a safety concern than an actual cosmetic accessory on your car when you have proper side blinkers.

 

I was thinking about going with e36 sidemarkers

 

keep it clean, don't make the mistake of putting them on like the person that has the lude at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayI...18206

 

I hope your kidding, those are the factory ones, how is that a mistake?

 

UK ludes have sidemarkers, we dont, heck, everyone get alot of stuff we dont for hondas.
