jdm dual halo lights
I bought a pair of JDm dual halo lights for my 01 civic, for the most
parts it is "plug and play", but in order to power the halo lights is says I need to connet the red wire to the positive node of the signal/parking light and the black wire to the negative. I know which wire are which but I can't seem to figure out how to connect them. The only thing i can think of is cutting the wires before the connector and slpicing the all of them togeather. Any suggestions?? Also the turn signal light is white and the housing is clear, not amber. Is it illegal to have a turn signal light thats not amber? |

But that ceases to be of issue once the car is past customs or is past the point of initial sale. According to your state's codes, maybe not. What state are you in? Some explicitly mention it, some do not. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

You'd have to dig up the relevant state Motor Vehicle Safety Standard to find out if NY state regulations require side reflectors. Chances are they do. A local inspection station surely would have a copy of the MVSS in question. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
