HaHa Sorry for bringing up the thread again but... you knew it was gona happen sooner or later haha ^^ Anyways, like Sukairain, the strip is a must for me ^^ and also keeping the signals on is a must ^^ I have an 07' coup 6mt and it drives me crazy how the older lights look better with signals on and the strip! ^^
so~ first of all, where and wat kind of double fillament bulb and socket should i get to keep the signals on
2. can you tell me which wires to connect to (Im a noob so i have no idea about how to do these things)
3. do you really need a new bulb if i just want them to be the same color lights?
4. you are awesome!!!
5. how did you cut out the area for the clearance strip?...
6. did i mention you are AWESOME?!?!?! ^^

Anyways thanx for the help bro~ ^^

accordfreak how do you get your turn signals to stay off like that? I only want mine to blink when i use my blinkers, otherwise i want em off when my headlights are on. I am trying to figure out how I did this. I believe some guy did this awhile ago and all he did was put electrical tape around one of the contacts in the bulb itself and stuck it back on. Its been awhile and I am not even sure how to get access to that turn signal light. Can you help me out?

on the 06 headlights, they don't turn on. but if you have the 03-05 headlights.. there should be 3 wires leading to the turn signal. use a volt meter to figure out which wire is for parking lights, cut it and tape it up.

I meant cincitydesigns.com. Sorry, they really do have some sick lights. I can't make up mind if I like the taillights with the "halo" in them, but love the "audi led's" in the headlights.

was gonna create a new thread but thought I'd just bump this. I been looking at LED threads for years now and I still don't get how to do them. Do I splice wires, do I solder them, what do I connect it too.... isn't there a clear cut DIY somewhere on here that answers these basic questions ? from all the custom light threads I haven't come across one.

For example all I want to do is the side clearance strip thing Accord did that's it, he listed all the materials needed, but I'm still left with the same questions I mentioned above.

"dremel/sandpaper, super glue acrylic rod, super glue some leds, guide the light with a cover in the back and to prevent the light from spreading everywhere and wire it up with resistors and voltage regulator"
