I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

your side markers look like they are wired wrong.

they are only to be on when the signal is on. (unless i was told wrong and mine are wrong????)

USDM way is to flash only when your blinker is on.

JDM way is to be on with your driving lights, and to flash alternatly with your blinkers when your blinker is on.

thats the DIY i followed. It states at the bottom:
USDM:
Tap into green(turn signal) and black(ground) wire.
JDM:
Tap into red(parking light) and green(turn signal) wire.

And I followed the "JDM" way.

actually they are only supposed to flash WITH the blinkers and are not supposed to be on other wise... thats how my JDM EF2 and all the other hondas i saw while in Japan worked...

im not a fan of sidemarkers....but i have seen many both ways....looks nice either way you do it....but i think they look best when they only light up with turn signal only.

Well either way, on or off, I dig em. I just choose to go with the wiring to have it light up while the driving lights are on just because I've seen a few hondas with that, and I thought it just looked clean. If i ever want to change it, all I gotta do is swap some wiring :)

Thanks guys!
