Default keeping the side corner lights on all the time

Sure, you can just run the wires from the same lines that power the headlights. If you want them to blink when the turn signal is on, that will take some more work, probably 3 or 4 relays. I was contemplating the same thing, I may still come up with a wiring diagram.

I've done it...side markers stay lit with lights on, and still blink as turn signals. The problem is I can't remember exactly how I did it. Someone else had posted instructions on how to wire it up a few months ago. Basically, you are just splicing into the front turn signal and running that new wire back into the side marker (you do have to cut one of the marker wires though). No dimming of lights, works just fine.

You want your car to look rice?

The only time the side markers on any car should be on is when turning. The ones you see with them on all the time are add-ons.

Do a search for "permanently lit side markers" and you will find a posting that discusses the topic. Follow the instructions posted by "Etarui" - that's how I did mine.

Keith D - I'm not sure how keeping the side markers lit, takes away from how "nice" the S2K looks. In fact this picture from the Honda of Japan web site shows a white S2K with the side markers on - perhaps this is JDM style?

Not sure why you'd want to do this, but to each his/her own.

Just so you know, I believe this is illegal in California.

It is very easy to do. You simply splice and bring a power supply to the fender/corner lights (red) wire. The way i did it was to take borrow some power from the headlights/running lights. Because of the voltage being sent to the lights isnt much, they should not dim. Also on a side note, this is illegal in california so be careful tickets are no fun.
Cheers
