886, Sidemarker Install Question Posted by cyan, Jan-21-01 11:21 AM ha sanyone here installed sidemarkers? i bought some but i am curious as to how you get to the wiring once you drill the holes in the fender. i mean, youll have the wires inside the fenders but how do you get them into the interior cabin to wire them? | |

888, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by js99rs, Jan-23-01 04:20 AM 0k this is just a guess but i dont think you will have to run the wire to the inside. just use the wires that were there from your bumper lights(since your body kit doesnt have them). you may have to drill a small hole in the inner fender and extend the wires but i think thats alot easier than going through the firewall and finding the right wire in the interior. hope that helped | |

889, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by icjeclipse, Jan-23-01 09:15 AM Yea just connect them to your sidemarker wires, that way they will go on with the headlights. They will also be blinkers. | |

890, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by cyan, Jan-23-01 11:29 AM hooking them to the factory bumper lights will not make them blink because the factory sidemarkers do not blink. i already have taillights | |

891, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by Lee, Jan-23-01 05:43 AM I was thinking about buying some, what kind did you get and from where? I think I want them to alternate with the turn signal. Any idea how to make it happen? | |

892, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by cyan, Jan-23-01 03:13 PM i got the clear dome style off ebay. you can hook them up through the front turn signals. i rewired my reverse lights and made them turn signals/brake lights so they would light with the brakes and blink if the blibker was on also, but i spliced them in to the front turn signals so decreasing the ohm load in the circuit and causing all the blinkers to flash half as often. (about once per second rather than twice) i dont know how to do it other tan this, so im gonna just wire them to the bumper lights. plus if you want them to blink you have to buy a dual filament bulb. i bought superwhite wedges to go in mine ($9) but the turn signal 2-filament superwhites were $17, so youll pay more for the bulbs too | |

893, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by oRACLe063, Jan-24-01 12:27 AM cyan its a bitch job ..you have to run the wires around the the wheel well ......simply unattach the wheel well cover and run it under there ...thats how mine went in ....which did u get? | |
|

896, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by Lee, Jan-25-01 12:15 AM About how much do they go for? | |
|
897, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by oRACLe063, Jan-25-01 12:32 AM those are very nice . are they cuzo ? who makes them ? | |
|
898, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by cyan, Jan-25-01 04:33 AM if youre asking abou tmine i dont know who makes them, i really dont care, they are pretty much generic. i got them for $20 on ebay. | |
|
899, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by Lee, Jan-25-01 06:20 AM Do you have the e-mail address of the guy you bought them from? Maybe I can drop him a line and see if he's got anymore. | |
|
900, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by cyan, Jan-25-01 08:15 AM he sells them regularly so just enter a search on ebay for them cause i dont have his email | |
|
901, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by Stan2gnt, Jan-25-01 03:42 PM I dont know how the hell mine are wired (I just paid the bastard $40 to install them and another $12 for hyper white wedges). Mine are run into the interior (you can see the wiring with the door open through the fender). All I know is he wired it the way I like it, The come on with the parking lights/headlights and blink alternately with the turn signal. | |

902, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by oRACLe063, Jan-26-01 12:43 AM one thing is for sure ... taking off the wheel well cover is a bitch. we hooked up my freinds accord's side markers that was easy because the engine bay is very open we just wired it from the end of his quater panel to the headlight blinkers ..ours is sealed off at almost all points ...thats why i had to go through the well ...dirty ass job | |
|
903, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by Stan2gnt, Jan-26-01 03:47 PM I watched the guy install mine and he most definately DID NOT remove the inner fender well or even bother with that area. | |
|
904, RE: Sidemarker Install Question Posted by EclipseTical, Feb-20-01 03:59 PM i had my local guy do it and he had me help. We wired them to the turn signals so that the sidemarker would flash. Our turn signal leads are very short so it is kind of tight workspace. the end result is worth it. | |
