Did you check the link I posted above? Dude wired the negative of side marker to positive of the small / bottom front parking light. Will have to take front wheels off and fender liners

oh sweet! But no need to take off wheel to get to light. Just turn wheel to one side and take couple tabs out and you can get to it so it makes this mod even easier!

i dont think anyone was bashing.

Not much work at all. Turn your wheels as tight as they can one way and it opens up the other side.for you. No tire removal needed. My Fenders are rolled so my liner is tucked up under the tabs so it was really easy for me.

I've looked at the S200's wiring diagram for exterior lights, and I'm not sure if etarui's solution will work with LEDs. With incandescent bulbs, polarity does not matter but with LEDs it will only light up with the correct polarization. So with etarui's solution and if you have a LED bulb as your sidemarker, I'm thinking that the sidemarker won't light up (unless you swap the wires in the socket).
I've got to test things out, but I'll chime in with results when I give this a shot, probably Saturday.
Here's what I'll most likely do though.
*Edit*
Crap I'm retarded.. was thinking about bayonet mount bulbs instead of the wedge type bulb that is the sidemarker. So with etarui's wiring solution, you would have to seat the LED bulb 180 degrees in the socket..
*Edit 2*
Aaand I'm still retarded.. realized that my original diagram will not blink the sidemarkers with parking lights on... So here's v2

Okay, so I tested etarui's solution with my LEDs, and it does not work. I ended up using the schematic that I made, and here's the results.

I did it. It's easy to do. When lights are on their on. Parking/headlight. Also when I lock and unlock car they flash. When your lights are on they flash in sync with the turn signal. When parking light is and you use turn signal it flip flops front side. I've had it done for about two years no problems. I remember when I did I pulled the plug from side marker I clipped a wire and ran a new wire from side marker to parking light. Had to do it to both sides.

There are no "side marker" lights on the S2000. They're side turn signals ("blinkers" in New England) and as such especially valuable on such a small car.
