Well australia civic sedans come stock with them for sure. Don't know about other places, but probably. Coupes don't usually have em, although most people here put em on coupes. But yea in general sidemarkers are a sedan thing. Look at audi, jetta, mazda3, evo, and other 4doors.

Rep Power: 812 Robearracing j-spec clear markers. Very clean. I'm using some amber bulbs that have a yellow color around the middle to make them match the front signal.

Rep Power: 812 check the diy section for pics. But you need a sheet metal nibbler from radioshack, drill, masking tape or postit note, pencil, level bubble, silicone, and touch up paint. The markers are at www.robearracing.com and don't come with a plug. You have to cut the plug and hook up your own wires. Then tap them to the front turn signal power and ground. The diy pretty much explains it. I used silicone to stick em to the car. They do fog up occasionally when its humid, but that goes away when the sun comes out again. For the 194 bulbs I went to autozone and found some aftermarket ones that have a yellow ring in the middle so they're a brighter amber to match the front signal.

Rep Power: 812 well the sidemarker has a place for a plug to go in. But the kit doesn't come with a plug. I'm assuming there is a stock wire harness that has it on overseas civics. So instead of plugging in, you have to cut the back and just run wire straight to the metal connectors and then tap those to the front turn signal wires.

Rep Power: 320 nice...but it looks like u didnt use the JDM template...i used the template so its in the right position with the acent line and the fender line but hey its better having them than not...i got some new pix too so im gonna post them up when i get to work tomorrow

ok, well, i made my own template..haha. They went in good and look sweet!! HOWEVER....here the wierd part. In the DIY, it says if you want the sidemarkers to be on with the parking lights and the turn signals, you run ground to ground, and tap in to the red wire instead of the green wire. NOW, when tapped into the red with the green from my EP3 sidemarkers, nothing happens. HOWEVER, when I tap the green wire from the sides to the red AND the green, they work, but the turn signals stay on, so I dont know what Im doing wrong. Can anyone please help me. haha
If it matters, I have an 05 and Im using the Si sidemarkers. Any help will be much appreciated and rep will follow....thanks.

Hey i finally found the thread that they were in http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=224134
i checked today at work and i can get these for 5.88 a piece in amber!!!! i dont know if that comes with the sockets and wires though, hopefully they do and they dont need but only a hole drilled to install them, i dont like the idea of taking metal nibblers to my fender, we'll see though, they should be in tomorrow at work

Well i got the sidemarkers today, looks like im going to have to cut into the fenders to install them just like the oem ones, and they didnt come with sockets or wires, i guess im going to have to go to bmw to see if i can get some there, here's a pic, hopefully the sockets arent too much, that might be the deciding factor whether or not i install them, tell me what you guys think....

Rep Power: 812 hmm they look nice but you know they're fake right? made by DEPO and not oem. but they still look nice. so since they don't come with sockets, there's no bulb inside?
