@EmZvr , yours is going in to the hat, awesome transformation over the time you've had it.... http://civic5.com/forum/topic/9591-emzvr-mb3-new-thread/

After seeing some projector setups I thought hey ho why not give it a try. So I pulled out a set of mint headlights and got cracking. This is the finished article Got the winter wheels out of storage and swapped them over as winter is here. The difference between just hid bulbs and projectors is like day and night. Very very good at night. Thanks

Some nice ones in already!!

@Krzys , done...

Here I go again. Time for installing the unit. After soldering the potentiometer and three other connections I went looking for the confirmation of what Haynes says. All the connections were as I expected. First thing I clonnected the earth from my kit to the nearest available bolt; see pic After I realized I have to cut off existing control unit in order for those two not to work simultaneously I stole power from that connection (yel/blu) and chose low motor output (blue) to be used while working intermittently. You can always use the high speed one (blu/yel). Important! I did not cut the motor wire (blue). As you can see in the above pic there are two yellow/blue wires. Confusing isnt it. Counting from the right (the bigger wiper plug) there is blue - low speed, blu/yel - high speed and yel/blu - 12v from the switch. Those 3 are the only wires you are interested in. Almost done, all connected Only the potentiomenter left to be fitted. The position is really all about personal preferences as well as the look. I just picked what I had. And the job done. Two comments I need to make. Only 2 pins on the potentiometer need to be cnnected; the middle and any of the other ones. Whichever side you pick will make the wipers go more or less often depending which direction you turn the knob. Still, a matter of ones prefernces. Secondly, the low end is pretty useless because the magic happens every 1 or 2 sec. Thats it I guess. I hope somebody will make use of this idea. If not at least I contributed a bit. Wish I could do more.

You need a side flexible led like this: Then it is side attached to the plastic. You can see the side attached white double sided tape on my photo. This way it is squeezed between the carpet and the plastic. Mine haven't fallen yet for 2 years. And I like that it is hidden and nobody can see this ugly thing

those rear lights are awesome man!! great upgrade in the back and boot man

I thought you said this was not going to be complicated. What the *** is ferric chloride? 10/10 for ingenuity and self-sufficiency though.

I removed the headliner and ran wires from the front interior light unit to the back. Quite easy to do

I'm pleased that somebody said this... I've been struggling to bite my tongue

Just to make sure it's not the Mrs first? If not then probably as Dave said

Random pic from yesterday Always like the look of her parked there

Pics from just now

You know what they say about threads and pics....
