i'm thinking of doing some side markers on my 99 civic, but not 100% sure, so i am gathering all the info i can.

so i am thinking of getting these sidemarker

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/96-00...Q5fAccessories

how do i wire them, do i need the wiring harness? or can i wire them with everything that comes in that ebay posting.

also is there a DIY for this. I searched for 5 minutes and couldn't come up with a guide with pics and placement diagram. i remember i looked into this a year ago and found a nice writeup on another forum with pics and a placement diagram, but dont exactly remember where. anyone know of a DIY with pics and a cutout chart on where to place the side marker for a 99 civic.

 

I suggest getting ones with pigtails/harness with it. Makes life easier.

I think they add a nice look to a civic. I just took my fender of the civic I just bought and it has them. Wiring looked simple. Mine had 2 wires and it had a clip at the end to hook right up.

 

yeah its only 2 wires that you tap into your turn signal lights its really easy...i did mine in like 2 hours

 

so i will need to get the wire harness? i've read somewhere where you can go to radio shack and get a female connector and some wires, how can i do this? or where can i buy the harness don't think i see them on ebay. btw... do you guys this amber or smoke amber would look best on my car. and thanks for the help guys

EDIT: will i need to remove the fender or front bumper to do the install. will i be able to reach in to the corner light wires without removing the bumper?

 

yeah the harness helps soo much especially the ones from password you pmed me about...i think smoked looks best on a silver and black car =] as i have haha...and yeah you can reach with out taking the pumper off just have to take off the front clips of the fender liner so you can pull it back and undo the turn signal bulb

 

BTW those from ebay are DEPO the ones from password are OEM Stanley

 

do you have pics of the smoked amber on your silver hatch? lit up and un-lit. also did you use a dremel to cut?

 

yeah ill take some and yup i used a dremel to cut it

 

here are some pics my car is really dirty from the snow and its light out but heres what i have
