bumper lights...
I have been searching forever, I think I have seen it before, but is it possible to have the bumper lights on all the time? If so, can someone point me in the right direction and are the turn signals still usable? Any other problems with doing this? Thanks

You can either get dual filament sockets with 1157 bulbs, and wire the dim filament to the parking lights (corner light) and the bright filament to the turn signal.
Or, with the bulbs and sockets already there, wire one side of the bulb to the turn signal positive, and the other to the parking light positive... then they will blink as a turn signal all the time, as well as be on with the parking lights. When the parking lights are on they will still flash as well.

The easiest way to do it is just get the civic plugs and use a dual filament bulb from a civic tap one side to your turn signal and the other to the wires that are on the stock accord.
So for instance civic plug has red black and green wires
Accord has black and red
Cut off the accord plug and take the civic plug and the accord exposed wires and put the red wires together and the black wires together for the third wire find the hot wire on the parking light and then tap the green wire to the hot wire in the parking light and bam done

I took the extra bulb and socket from my jdm corners, extended the wires to reach the bumper lense, drilled a hole for it to fit snug, and inserted the bulb and socket in the newly drilled hole.
