Official Sidemarker pic post thread
 

i searched and saw some DIY and some pic post threads but i thought i would create an offcial thread either oem or diy style...anyways post ur pics of sidemarkers...and in the thread/diy of the edm ones he put the sidemarkers backwards...lol...i just put mine in so ill have pics up soon

bump i wanna see pics cuz i'm installing mine soon. I HOPE.

Same here.

Well heres mine :hgrin:

ill post some up when i get home from skool...i just installed them and gottem all wired up plus i got some nokya hyper yellow light bulbs...damn those are bright...im also the 1st 04 with black housing, yellow bulbs and sidemarkers in my area

i thought more people would post then this?!?! i know theres more members with sidemarkers then me... lol

nope. youre the only one.

haha actually gearbox has side markers. and so does that one guy with 05 coupe, slammed on ground controls

ragingSPAM, did you use the template i found for you a while back? if so, did it work perfectly or it was ok?

ragingspam, u have yellow 1157 turns too?

whered u get the nokya hyper yellow bulbs from?

take some pics of ur car man :P

Could you guys also tell us which kind of sidemarkers? I have some JDM Accord ones sitting at home.

i have JDM DC5 sidemarkers from honda japan. comes complete with wires and weather proofed seal. all you need to do is cut the fender and wire tap.

I got the same ones love them :rockon:

yea i used the same one which came from club rsx...worked ok just needed to modify a few things...like where the clip goes u need to make that notch a little longer...i also got the nokya bulbs from cnc motorsports in ontario, california by the 10 freeway and 4th street

Would sidemarkers from the si work with a coupe? I guess I'm asking more in terms of the same type of wire splicing involved.

any sidemarkers will work. You have to cut the fender anyway and the wires are the same, power and ground. Just don't except em to plug into anything. You have to chop off the plug in the back and directly attach the wires. Then splice into current turn signal wires.

Ah okay, thanks. I was asking because the SI markers are clear and I can get them at majestichonda for about $20 less than JDM ones.

yea they are the same shape to its just the jdm ones come with a harness bulb and everything...i think majestichonda only is sidemarker no bulb or harness...the si ones are whiteish but if u want the jdm civic ferio ones they are clear and robear racing sells them

i like j-spec clear better. It's actually clear like the headlights. The si has the hazy ones, which I guess could be better cause you don't see the amber bulb reflect as much inside.

Are these the ones you're talking about?

It doesn't look like it includes the bulb/socket/harness.


These are the ones I was looking at from Majestic Honda:
Sidemarkers

It looks like they have everything, you've just gotta buy parts 1, 12, 8, and 16.

the robear jspec do have the twist on bulb socket. Just not the plug so I cut off and hooked the wires directly to the terminals.

one thing is mine leak alot when it gets humid or temp changes. I don't know how cause the back is sealed with silicone to the car, and the socket has a rubber ring.

Well I went ahead and ordered the SI ones, I actually liked how they looked in person compared to the jspec's; I didn't really care for how I could see the black bulb socket because they were too clear.

Should be here in a few days then it's fender wrecking time.

"fender wrecking time" i like that it's not that bad just measure alot and take your time...

Where can I find the sockets and whatnot?

Im liking the 01-03 Dome JSpec ones on RobearRacing. Just give me a list of everything I need.

i actually like these ones..could i custom do these on my vic? its for the scion but..can i?

all sidemarkers are custom when you put them on our cars. all you do is cut the fender to make it fit.

yep pretty much..

all u need for sidemarkers are the sidemarkers, bulb/socket, and harness...since u'll need to splice into the parking light u will need xtra wiring and tap splices will help

yes ANY sidemarker will work. It's all the same. Just look at the diy that tells you everything you need. I still have my nibbler if anyone wants it for $5 shipped or something. It's $10 at radio shack. I also recommend a leveler with bubble to make sure it's even.

Alright, well I finally got a free weekend to install my sidemarkers, or at least one of them. Here's a pic taken a few moments ago in my dark garage:

I do the other one tomorrow, needless to say the installation would've gone quicker if I didn't try to cut corners! I didn't think i'd need extra wire, but I did, and I didn't think I'd have to remove my tire, but I did. Better pics will come once I get the other one on and wash my car, it's pretty filthy at the moment.
