I want to tie the positive wires to the orange side markers on the headlight.. can anyone tell me which wire/color on the side marker i would tap into in order to not go the route of using a switch. Obviously the other wire(ground) will be grounded so thats not a problem.

Photo attached of my current LED set up on my other car so u get an idea of what I am kinda doing to the civic in the left and right side of the lower bumper.

here's my main question: for high beam/DRL in a projector, do i just flip the projector housing upside-down??

i'm planning to just use halogen bulbs for it. ]]> wobuffet http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/lighting-h-i-d-s-neon/225923-projector-drl-high-beam.html oem 9006 lights http://www.8thcivic.com/forums/lighting-h-i-d-s-neon/225907-oem-9006-lights.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:29:05 GMT Went to swap out my oem lights with Sylvania Silverstar Ultra's and i noticed that they had the same label on the back of the bulb. the only difference was a DOT number. The actual bulb and tip color were different but both were sylvania. How can i tell the difference?


Pepboy has the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra on sale, so I thought i would try .

I'm planning on getting some yellow bulbs to replace my current day time running lights and fog lights to make the lighting look yellow.
So the bulb size for the day time running lights is 9005 but which wattage should I be getting?
And for the fogs it is H11 55watts? When I look that up on ebay I am getting a lot of hid kit and stuff... what should I be looking for? Also do these look yellow? From the pics, the bulbs with these kits look white or blue.

Clearly this isnt a Canadian Tire thing.

Let me know - PS I wouldnt mind the lens as well if anyone knows where to buy the yellow lens

I got my sidemarkers done a little while ago, but I am having an issue with the driver side sidemarker since the hole is a little bit bigger than it should be. If I drive my car enough, the sidemarker tends to want to pop out a little(just half of the sidemarker, not the whole thing). Once I push the sidemarker back into place, it looks perfect again. Any suggestions or advice to help secure the sidemarker in place so it doesn't keep popping out when I drive my car? Can you also mention a shop where I could buy it at? Please keep in mind, I would like a solution that will not damage the exterior paint.
