JDM sidemarker install?

I just got in my JDM fenders from eBay and i wanna wire them but I dont kno wat wire is wat. I just want them to blink and thats it but there are three wires coming out of the harness it came with. Im guessing I would have to splice the wire from the signal lamp on the side of the bumper but which is the wire that flashes? ne help is appreciated, thanks.

All you have to do is splice into the front turn signal. They are supposed to stay lit when not flashing for a turn, so for proper operation, wire them into the sidemarker wires. Thats it.

So the jdm ludes hav'em constantly on? well i mean atleast when the corner lights are on. How would I go about making them just blink and not run constantly? What do u think would be best? Thing is I have an electron blue 4g and I have hyper whites all around and I was thinking that the amber side marker would look a lil outta place.

My side markers are constantly on (when my lights are on).. they blink opposite the front signal lights when indicating a turn or lanechange....

I wired my JDM sidemarkers to the lower outside bumper lights. The sidemarker stays on, and it blinks with all the lights. Looks really cool.

To blink and not run constantly, you should be able to wire them into the front inner bumper lights. I would also recommend clear sidemarkers if you are running clear lights all around just to keep the look balanced. I went with stock 92-93 amber bumper lenses so that the amber sidemarkers looks ok.

Just to confirm, the fender turn signals on my car are NOT on all the time. They are purely turn signals, not sidemarkers.

Actually, I think you're right. They are the same size as 96-00, not 92-95, which are different. I'm struggling to recall, as I got them 18 months ago.

Who? Me?



I think the 90-93 Accords had the same sidemarkers as the Ludes too.

I just ordered the ones for the civic, i hope they fit right. I went to that site lightlens.com. They say they will ship out in 3 business days but to allow 3-4 weeks for delivery

hate to bring this back up, but there was a question I had that still hasn't been answered. If the JDM sidemarkers (or turn signals, what ever you want to call them) aren't supposed to be lit all the time, and only blink when indicating.... when WHY does it have 3 wires?!?!

UK, can you do me a favor and see if yours have 3 wires?
