Parking light-turn signal switch-a-roo writeup
ok a couple ppl have been asking me how i got amber parking lights
and switched them around etc.
so heres my writeup. maybe it can go into the FAQs? or a sticky.
what i did was took the small parking lights that go into the
headlight housing, and flip flopped them with the bigger bulbs
that go into the turnsignal.
the amber lights from the civic don't fit in the spot where the
stock turn signals go.
so i just took the amber lense, and cut some cardboard the same size
(make sure its pretty thick sturdy cardboard)
and cut a hole thats the same size as the smaller "parking light"
and super glued it into the cardboard., then just put one screw
thru the cardboard and into the hole where the stock one did. and
another screw on the other side to hold the cardboard in place.
Since the turn signal bulb is bigger than the parking light, i
had to use a heated knife and expand the hole on the headlight
housing where the parking light used to be. after that just pop
it in with some force. it won't screw in but if you push it
hard enough it'll pop in and out and still be firm and tight.
thats about it. any questions, comments PM me.
hope this helps you. i know i personaly love how it looks.
makes it stand out from all the other altimas on the road.
