Installed JDM Side Markers

YOGIx213 · 01-28-2007, 02:29 AM

I got JDM sidemarkers installed on my EX Coupe and love them. A shop that's literally around my corner that did my Injen CAI install did it for me for $100 (includes sidemarkers/harness ($50), and installation($50)). I'm glad I didn't try to do it myself since I have no experience and the sight of him cutting the fender with the dremmel saw made me squeamish. He also painted the cut edges to keep them from rusting. The lights though were for the Civic EF Series but look exactly like the DC5's.

Anyway, I have a question for anyone who has sidemarkers or have had sidemarkers installed. I have it set up where they only turn on when I use my blinkers. What I would like to know is if there is a way to have them stay on all the time when my headlights are on but can be used as blinkers as well.

Thanks. Also, I'll post picks if you'd like but it's raining right now.

yes there is a way to let them stay lit when parkin brakes are on and blink when you turinin but it has to do w the way they were wired.

P4rD0nM3 · 01-28-2007, 03:03 AM

Well? Times up. Rain or shine. I think I'm giving him a hard time.

<< Honestly though, I kind of wanted to do that to my GG. <<

Really? There were arrows pointing in a direction on the sidemarkers and I assumed it meant that was the direction to install them. I'll have to double check.

jay3151 · 01-28-2007, 04:11 PM

they are mounted right. do a search for a ep3 or a dc5 and u see them mounted the same way.

jay3151 · 01-28-2007, 04:16 PM

mine are exactly the same way bump to the back. its has somthing to do w the relector on the sidemarker too

yours look the same except u have the black base. but kindof looks longer though

BLAZETIGER · 01-28-2007, 04:29 PM

Not bad looking. I've wanted to do something like that, but I want to use the side markers from the BMW 3 series. They're kind of angled (arrow pointed).

jay3151 · 01-28-2007, 04:36 PM

o ic. well u can pretty put anything u want but i try to get hands on them and place them on your car and see what u think. also could try to photoshop those and see what they would look like on your car. cuz once u cut the whole u cant go back, only swapp out for a bigger set or new fenders

Thanks for the pics. Looks clean without the black base on the Tafetta. I think the black base looks good on Silver too. How do you have yours wired? Do you have them only turn on when you use your blinkers?

jay3151 · 01-28-2007, 04:49 PM

i have them wired just how honda inteded w and exception the the TL.

only w the turnsignal. but people wire them to stay light and turn but i havent figured that out or tried lookin.
