[QUOTE=spooled240]the jdm turn signals have different sockets but you can swap them with the USDM side marker sockets. If you don't know what i'm talking about, look at the 2nd pic of the black kouki up there, it's that little orange reflector/sidemarker on the side of the front bumper.

The JDM bumper doesn't even have those so you wouldn't need that socket anyway. Just cut it off with enough wire, solder and shrink tube it onto the stock turn signal wires. The socket will plug right in to the JDM turn signals.

Then tape off the sidemarker wires, you don't want them touching with your parking lights/hazards on or you'll start blowing fuses.I found his explanation easier (I knew I had seen it on here before) Thanx Spooled240.Check these out also (No write ups though) My guess is just switch the wires around.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKJ8NApD ... ?v...lated

I actually got a fiberglass one, so the installation was easier. I heard the OEM ones use a special clip or something. I dunno, I was planning on painting my lip and valances so I just got a FG wing that was already primered and ready for paint....and it's not like the wing is gonna hit a bump and break lol

Installation was easy, the time-consuming part was mocking it up so it was perfectly in the center. Then i just drilled(don't think about it, just do it!) and bolted it on

Mines Are Not All That Good Neither.

The Part You Circled Used To Be A Tighter Gap.

But The Other Side Was Wider, So I Just Loosened That One The Match, Cause I Was To Weak To Tighten The Other One.
