    I bought a pair of JDm dual halo lights for my 01 civic, for the most
    parts it is "plug and play", but in order to power the halo lights is
    says I need to connet the red wire to the positive node of the
    signal/parking light and the black wire to the negative. I know which
    wire are which but I can't seem to figure out how to connect them. The
    only thing i can think of is cutting the wires before the connector and
    slpicing the all of them togeather. Any suggestions??

    Also the turn signal light is white and the housing is clear, not
    amber. Is it illegal to have a turn signal light thats not amber?

    Scotchlok connectors, barrel crimp connectors, soldered connection, all
    kinds.



    According to the US federal MVSS 108, yes. But that ceases to be of issue
    once the car is past customs or is past the point of initial sale.
    According to your state's codes, maybe not. What state are you in? Some
    explicitly mention it, some do not.

    Then look at this:

    I checked here:
    http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms.htm
    and found this PDF of the inspection regulations themselves:
    http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/forms/cr79.pdf

    Looks like section 79.21(e)(2)(b) might make your lamps illegal if NY
    requires side reflectors for your year. You'd have to dig up the relevant
    state Motor Vehicle Safety Standard to find out if NY state regulations
    require side reflectors. Chances are they do. A local inspection station
    surely would have a copy of the MVSS in question.
