If I wired it to the outside corner light, as soon as my headlights come on(automatically thanks for NightVision ) the sidemarkers would come on too. End result would be always on/blink.

wire them to the power antenna lead from your deck. :tfg:

No, I say blink only... wire to the lower turn signals... I think it looks kinda odd when there is a light on the side of the car always on.

Only other thought would be to wire them to the cooling fans...
You got jokes:chuckles: I am leaning towards doing like you said........wiring them to the cooling fans Nah, wiring them to the bumper lenses cause no matter what, the only time those come on is when im signaling.

Wire them so when you hit VTEC it hyperblinks.

and you could wire it to the corner blinker since its going on the fender, right?
that would be the shortest distance, instead of to the bumper light
just make sure you splice into the positive that blinks and everything should be alright


its an amber lense right?
agreed, always on=ricer. Problem w/wiring them to the corners is that when the headlights come on, they light up so my sidemarkers would be always on/blink. Gonna have to wire em to the bumper lenses if I want blink only. Yeah, amber lenses.

the correct way is to have it blink only.

im going to make them always on + blink because my front corner lights are hard to see at night, and i could use the added visibility.

see i thought you could hook it up to the corner lense
but after i looked at mine i saw that the bulb that blinks only has 2 wires coming out of it and the one that stays on all the time has 3 wires coming out of it
so i'm totally confused
