you could switch out the bulb socket to accept a dual filiment bulb so that you can tap the 3rd wire into the corner lights
i've done it on all my cars
the problem with your car is the socket is built in to the light housing so what u have to do is go to a junkyard get some 88-89 bumper lights take the lens off then put the 86-87 lens on it trim the housing with a dremel so that it will fit in ur bumper and then grab some taillight bulb sockets with the dual filament sockets and then just wire the sockets up red wire would go to the red wire on the corner light green to green and black to black
its easier then it sounds only takes about 20 minutes

its not that hard man, if i get off my ass (or if someone sends me a set of tail light sockets) i will make a step by step how to, the tail light sockets are plug and play just gotta run 1 new wire.Originally Posted by Rendon LX-i
tail light sockets....so everything bolts up. tail light sockets off what? lol..

um 3g tail light sockets work or almost any honda socket that has a dual socket (3 wire) plug. these plugs will plug right into the 88-89 signal... cah just told me online that you have a 86-87 style wich means you will have to install 88-89s in there as the 86-87 doesnt have a removeable socket.
but man you have a turbo 3g... this should be a walk in the park compaird to that. i will try to find some sockets and help you out as much as you need though

I can confirm that the rear bulb sockets fit in the 88-89 bumper signals with a little trimming of one of the tabs on the socket. no cutting into the bumper lamps

Nice job Pico!.........We just got that rain that you guys in the Bay had a couple days ago, it put a damper on my junkyard trip. The sockets will be mine!
Thanks G.White.
It was real easy to do, took only like 15min or less to complete both sides
cant do that to a 86 bumper thou...SUCKS ASS..unless i have to cut the hole and jb weld the dual socket in there...or idk silk_sohc did it like without doing all that he just added a wire or two and bam...NICE pico great job...you should do a how to on this would help alot of people...i vote STICKY lol

i think the way he did it was so that it was on all the time and when the blinker came on the light shut off/on not dimm to bright (get what im saying) this can be done by adding a resistor someplace and feeding off of the side signal wire i will look into it.. and if pico doesnt make a howto (or anyone else) i will be hitting a junkyard on like tuesday and i will grab some sockets and throw one up since the setup is almost identical as my cd7
I didnt think about taking pics when I did this labeledsk8r, so it would be great if you get a chance to do the how to.
As far as the wiring, the taillamp socket has 3wires, Blk.,Red,Green.
The Bumper Lamps have 2wires, Blk,and Green.
Its just a matter of matching the color wires to each other and to take the red wire and tap into the red wire in the corner lamps.
Heres a pic of the socket showing which tab to remove. And dont forget you'll need #1157 bulbs

Lol. soo whats the aim of doing this?
none
just making use of the bumper lights, aside from being a turn signal
sweet sounds good!
well i did some testing and i got the bumper light to work but its a FAIL for me.....it works since i tap the green wire on ther bumper to red wire on side marker worked but then the rear singal is on also lol.....okay so i tryed the green wire on the blinker light on the side marke and a no go nothing happens...so idk i got to go research what silk_sohc told me
