to be honest with you, i tried it, and they cast absolutley NO useable light, unless you go and buy halogen foglight buls and custom bake brackets to hold them in, but i found out the hard way that if they are on for a long trip (3 hours) they WILL melt your bumper light housings

hey man i did that, it looks like if i have fog lights. its pretty bad

ok i'll tell u but its kinda complicated.. here i go

u know that theres two bulbs on the corners right??? take the inner wire and rewire it to the bumper light... u should have the wires from the inner bulb go to the bumper lights do that for both and u should have the bumpers lights on

oh yeah i forgot... i used a couple of more wires... that day i was planning to hook up some window led washers.. u know the ones that light up when u turn on ur headlights... well the leds had wires that have to go some where,,"i didnt connect them i just left them there"... well i cut the wires from the leds and i used them on the bumpers...

want i did is i cut the wire from the inner bulb and used the wires from the leds.. i connected them. i think they were red and black.. than i cut the bumper wire and i connect the wires from the leds... now the inner wires went to the bumpers bulbs


sorry so long but do u get it???

Stuff you'll need :
4X male Disconects
Wire
2X 1157 bulb harness (got mine from napa, 87-89 accord brake bulb harness PN:LS6253 )
2X amber (or any color) bulbs
wire splice connectors

---------------------------------------------------------

1. remove Bumper Lamp, pull out wire

2. Remove black bulb socket

3. You'll need 4 male disconects

4. Take a 1157 Harness and Wire/hook-up 2 of the Male disconects to the GROUND and the HighBeam wire(if you got the harness from Napa, both are black)

5. Remove a Corner Lamp.

6. i have black housing depos, so there is only one bulb per corner (the only one that fits doesn't blink). so what i did instead of ruining the bulb harness, was disconect the positive + from the one that is always-on (and fits the corner) and splice into the positive of the blinking/always on bulb harness. so i already had the always-on wire exposed

if you don't have JDM or JDM style Corners than you can just splice into the positive of the one thats always on.


7. run you wire that you spliced into from the corner down to bumper. with the male disconects attached to the HighBeam & ground wires of the harness, they should just push into the original bumper/blinker harness. splice the wire from corners into
the third LowBeam wire of the bulb harness(if you got the harness from napa, it is red)
