Default 5th gen accords: turn signals question

I was just curious as to whether or not there is a way to light up the turn signals on a '94 Accord so that I can turn them on besides when they just blink for turning? I can turn the turn signals on in my integra so I was wondering if the same could be done for the accord. I did a search but couldn't find anything...Thanks.

Without some wiring/ground tricks you can do it w/ factory wires. Since I dont want to see you char-broil your car, I cant tell you.

The 194's with a drilled hole, now there's a stroke of genius! I probably would have never thunk it, not even with someone else's brain!

Good luck, work safely

you can wire your bumper lights to your second corner light. in 94-95 accord there are two bulbs in the corner, they both stay on as park lights but when you turn on your signals, the bulb closer to the fender flashes. you can wire your bumper lights to these bulbs and they will stay on as foglights kinda, and then when you use your turn signals they will flash as well. owning a 97 i wish the 96-97 had that feature too but it was only available with 94-95

Can you be a little more specific as to how exactly I would wire this? I am not exactly an electrical guru...Thanks.

just splice into the corner light bulb that acts as a park light and signal light when activated. iam pretty sure its the bulb closest to the fender cus its supposed to act like side markers in letting people beside you know when you wanna change lanes or turn.

you can easily make a bulb come on with the parking lights, and still flash with the turn signals... like the 2nd bulb in 94-95 accords.

Power the bulb from the parking light positive wire... and ground the bulb to the turn signal positive. Very simple!

As for adding parking lights to the lower bumper lights in a 94-95, i'd suggest new sockets and 1157 (dual filament) bulbs. This can also be done without cutting any stock plugs off... just use male disconnect terminals on the wires for the new sockets, push them into the stock turn signal connector... and then wire the parking light wire of the new socket to the corner light. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting to the stock turn signal connector, otherwise the parking light wont work.

I can put together a "kit" for you if you like... real cheap too, like $10. PM me if you'd be interested.

will this also work with side markers? iam planning on adding some on my fenders for the JDM look. however i want them to turn on with my park lights, AND flash on and off when i use my signals.
