How does getting the JDM Tails fix a problem with your remote starter?

You think like me Ray! lmao!

My remote starter didn't start when I have no tails installed. After installing the new one it works.

I just got my VR4 fogs and have searched for instructions on how to wire them correctly, but can't really find anything. Do you know what type/size/etc capacitor is needed?

PM ASTIG. however, his car is a USDM, so his solution is a work around since our cars do not have the circuit for the turning floods. yours is EDM/worldspec, so your car may have it. in any case, ASTIG has done it on his conversion so he would be the man to ask.

^Good luck with your plans! If you need help pm me.

I'm going to install my jdm side markers today if weather isn't too cold.

I still can't resume painting my flares due to weather here. Hopefully in the next few weeks.

Ok. I was able to install my jdm side markers today.

Here's tools of the trade:
Caliper
Masking Tape
Dremel
Cutting discs
Dry Marker
Level
Ruler
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g.../Picture-3.jpg

I started by drawing a line parallel to the curve of the pender then I used a level to get a straight line.
http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/g...cture001-1.jpg

Then I applied a several layers of masking tape so it won't damage the paint if I slip when cutting.

the other side:

04-04-2009, 08:42 PM
Galante

It's easy.. Try it.. I practice on a thick paper board first before actually cutting the fender.. ;P

hey galante,on page 5, how did you make the mirror switch fit in the stock mirror/fog housing?
04-10-2009, 09:46 PM
Galante

^I used a file to trim the inner sides of the housing until the jdm mirror switch fits. ;)

Installed the 3000k hids for the fogs the other day..

I'll trial fit the fender flares today before painting them next week..

hmmm mine sit flush. your markers dont look like their meant to be flush though. hmmm
04-13-2009, 12:28 AM
greddy

^it's cuz your fenders have indentations that are designed for the side markers, ours don't
04-13-2009, 12:45 AM
