Nice clean car, i like very much.

nice whip....are those bronze 5zigen wheels?

nice ride...looks hot

both cars are sick :tup:

Wowzers. Both look really hot.

looks good! I love the rims on you vic man

That civic is tight..I'm also feeling the JDM conversion on the integra.

The civics nice. I hate JDM converted Integras though

Nice rides. I love how you caught the shadow of that guy doing the YMCA!

yes sir they are... 17 inch FN01R-C's

thanks for all the nice comments... this is pretty much the final result of the big makeover i did for my ride...

one day i jus looked at my ride and was like... shiit
http://www.7thgencivic.com/memberrid...meet1small.jpg

so those pics up there are the final result... much cleaner now, with a little JDM flavor here and there..

Im gonna ask a real stupid question, and hopefully I don't end up in someone's signature..lol Wtf is a JDM?? I know it stands for Japanese Domestic Motors, but does it represent a certain style? I just want to know what you guys are referring to when you say JDM this or that. :confused:

clean rides...love your vic, the si...not so hott, but nice, the jdm teggy...hott!! i just ordered those jdm yellow bulbs for my car yesterday...i'll post pics whenever i get em. i cant WAIT!!

JDM means Japanese Domestic Market. the integra is "JDM Conversion" style because of the front clip (Front end bascially). in America, the USDM Integra has the little circle headlights. In Japan however, the Integra has the thin bar-style headlights as shown in the pictures (silver integra, black rims). You cant buy a USDM integra with the JDM front end unless the conversion is done (hood, bumper, headlights among other things).

so bascially its called "JDM this" or "JDM that" in that its unavailable in the US and IS available in Japan for the same car, blah blah blah.

:tup: :tup: :tup: :clap: :clap: :clap:

pretty sweet

Looks a lot better Andrew. The integra needs a front lip then its good to go :tup:

^i second that.
dc2 = :tup:
7thgen = :tup:

dude dump more money in the teg with itr conversion

civichx01, your taillights on your civ are sick man, what did you do just put the brake light socket in the turn signal and the turn signal in the brake light housing???

those first few pics of the vic on the parking roof = :hitit:
and the jdm integra = :_bow:

Your car is sexy.

yea thats exactly what i did... but it requires a bit of modification and cutting...

Nice looking cars.

What kind of wing is that on the civic?

the civic looks clean! :tup:

hot times 2

tsunami flush mount wing..

I LOVE your car. However, hood pin placement is kinda whack.

looks good, nice pics

How did you get your taillights to light up like that?

i like everything on the civic but the eyelids

nice 7thgen... But please paint the rear drums back to stock color!

Injen

they are either 04 taillights or he has smoked them.
They look more like they are smoked.

Injen

He doesn't know what his talking about

huh? :shrug:

They are either smoked/painted w/e or hes got 04 taillights. :_please:

Its not 04 tails and its not smoked. He switch the wires so that the turn signal would be the parking light and the break light and now the horse is turn signal.

:_ontome:

i did not know that! sounds nice and i might have to try it

Injen

nice cars

Thats hot but y no tints

Nice cars! The civic looks great!

DIY 01-03 Tailights, 2 methods
 

yea you can do it like that... but thats not what i did... I did method 1...


METHOD 1:
1. Switch the Brake Bulb into the Signal Housing... (the small brake bulb needs to be held in place... you can use electrical tape... and it should be the Super 88 kind so that it won't get messed up in hot weather/cold weather, etc...)
2. Switch the Signal Bulb into the Brake housing... (Brake light housing must be cut bigger to accomodate the big Signal Bulb. This can be done with a small saw)

Now when I turn on my lights, no more horseshoe effect.

This method requires no rewiring, just cutting of the housing...

End result: the horseshoe only lights up when signaling... signal housing lights up when turning on parking lights/headlights AND it lights up when braking...

Above is a pic of the parking lights/headlights on... when I brake, the signal housing (the one thats lit up in the picture) will light up brighter and the 3rd brake light will light up...


Here's the Left turn signal on..

---------------------------------------------
METHOD 2:
Now, there is another way to do this, it doesn't require cutting of the housing, you LEAVE THE BULBS IN PLACE, but you just cut the wiring and re-wire... this is the way yourinmyw0rld was talking about...

1. Look at the brake light bulb wiring... there should be 3 wires... 1 ground and 2 positives... 1 positive activates the parking light(when you turn on your headlights), and the other activates your brake light(when you brake)... cut the one that activates your brake light... make sure you leave some slack for re-wiring later

2. Look at the signal light bulb wiring there is only 2 wires, 1 positive and 1 ground... cut the positive, again leave some slack

3. Take the positive that activates your brake light and wire it to the signal light bulb... so that when you brake, your signal bulbs will light up...

4. Now take the positive that activates your signals and wire it to the brake light, the one you just cut... so when you signal, the horseshoe will blink...

so basically, your just swapping positive wires...

End result: Horseshoe still lights up when turning on parking lights/headlights AND now lights up when signaling... on the other hand, signal housing lights up ONLY when braking...

It will look like a jetta or mercedes...


------

I didn't do method 2 because I didn't like the ugly horseshoe lighting up all the time...

I have this done myself too. :tup:

http://www.7thgencivic.com/memberrid...5984Driven.jpg

so you did METHOD 1, cutting the housing... no rewiring...

yup... except i didn't cut... I just grabbed a pair of vice grips and broke those 4 tabs off... the bulb fits perfect.
Oh and I got rid of the side lights... doesn't flow with the top portion.. I made it come on when I throw it in reverse.

I see... that works too... so you can either cut the housing, or cut the tabs off the bulb...

and the side lights... thats a pretty good idea... i think i might do that

oh no... i didn't cut the tabs off the bulbs... i cut those tabs off the housing. You know those 4 locking tabs? I just broke them off... worked good and broke off clean...

As for the side lights... yeah I didn't like how they looked when my tail lights were on. So I cut the lead wire and tapped it to the reverse wire.

looks like I have a project for tomorrow thanx guys :tup:
