I did this on my MS3 and it wasnt too hard...it was a pain taking the plastic from under the fender and all the 15 screws it has but the wiring was fairly easy...

Sorry guys...i didnt take any pics of the process..ill post some of the car once i get back from vacation

so im assuming you go into the wheel well, take off the plastic stuff, clip wires, rewire, and it should work? after i help my friend install the accord fogs on his TL i'll attempt this and try to take pics. it will most likely be ghetto rigged though lawls

 

[Protege03ak46]

you dont even have to take off the plastic. just take the light out. and work from there

 

[Crazypato]

Well I tryed to do it as legit as possible..but thats just how I am hehe
Here's some crappy pictures I took the other day with my cell....

[Crazypato]

Side markers please....

 

[drgnzadiel101]

i havent had time to do this yet. any pics for the DIY yet?

 

[Crazypato]

No sorry..i did this on a rainy day after work inside my buddies garage...so i was exhausted and didnt really worry bout taking pictures...sorry
Its pretty easy though..just get an idea of how your gonna do it with the instructions that Circuit gives and once you get under the fender...its pretty much a piece of cake..

So I did it today and thought Ide post up on here some tips:

1. The side marker Negative is Black
2. The headlight the Positive is a Lime Green wire WITH aBlack Stripe.
3. When cutting the wire, try to leave as much room as possible on the connector side. Trust me, itll come in handy.
4. To fish the wire through I used some baleen wire.

Does this have to be done on both sides, or just one?

im pretty positive its both

 

[Protege03ak46]

Yup, both sides..

 

[vw2p5]

Yup, both sides..

Great. Thanks

Bumping this. Going to be installing sidemarkers in my 2002 fenders soon. Haven't looked on the car to see if there is any stock wiring already there, but I doubt there is.

When I bought the lights it came like this with a two prong connector. I found some slide on connectors at an auto store and now I am here.

I am wanting to wire them up exactly like this how to, where they blink for turn sigs and are on with the parking lights.

Any suggestions on how I should wire these?

Thanks!

Run the wire to your headlights so you can use the parking/turn signal lights. You would want the positive from the parking lights and the positive from the turn signal. Should give you same effect.

When you say parking lights are you talking about the triangular light at the corner of the headlight housing that just lights up?

Also how will I connect the wire I have on the marker now, to both the parking light and the turn signal?
