haha we'd be honored broken, the install wasn't that hard. Also we screwed up a little bit where a corner is showing but you can only see it if you look at it at all angels. Was nerve wrecking cutting into fenders even tho tony did most of the cutting cause i'm a pussy haha. Forgot to mention to use touch up paint to prevent rust on the cut surfaces, i didn't have any VSM so i used tonys EBP touch up on my VSM lol

You can buy the Honda OEM plugs if you want, they are for the prelude i believe. I used radio shack spade connectors. I'm not sure what the price is off the top of my head, but you buy a package of like 10 for a few bucks. Sorry I can't be of more help. If you search for this same thread in the General Forum, you might find that some people used the Honda plugs and some used the spades.

Could you show me the wiring diagram for NOT using the OEM harness please. I dont want pay the exra bucks. Haha. If you could, Id appreciate that. Woot!
matt
it's actually pretty simple. it doesn't matter which plug taps what wire from the socket of the sidemarker. as long as one wire is tapped into the red wire and the other is tapped into the green. that's if you want them to stay on along with your parking lights. if you want them to only blink with your turn signals, then you will only tap one, i forgot which, i think i stated above which one, and the other wire to tap is the ground wire (black). hope that helps. not sure if that's what you were looking for. good luck.

Good job guys. I'm impressed that you finally did it after all that talk. I told you it wasn't that difficult. The nibblers work pretty goo, huh?
Way to go on the write up. I never have the patiuence to document all my DIYs, so this should help everybody out.
Very very nice write up you guys and easy to understand, If i were to grade this as a college professor I'd give it a A++++!! . Hopefully I can get it started also.

hmm you need some wire T taps, 4 two on each side marker, and you need some wire, after that you need some spade connecters the ones that tony posted up you need about 4 of those too lol. The nibbler was honestly personal preference, if your good with a dremel you can use that, but we found it to be more accurate and you have more control over the cutting with the nibbler. It works like a holepuncher, but it punchs squares of metal out, so you put it where you wanna punch out and squeeze.

i went to the honda dealer by me and the parts counter said he didn't think anything they had fit the connector. easier/cheaper to use the spade connectors and they fit snug too. i also sodered the wires off of the turn signals instead of cutting and splicing... haven't checked behind the markers since i did it but they're still working fine....

I just got my sidemarkers and was wondering how these things stay in place?? is it just the clips on the sidemarker that holds them secure? so when i cut the hole and put the sidemarker in....will it just clip in and hold onto the fender? thanks guys.
pretty much, that is why the hole you cut needs to be very exact so that the sidemarker holds to the fender securely.
