So I have the jdm clear corners for my 1998 es and I couldn't find any thread on CL which says how to wire it
is there anyone that knows how to do it?

I have a set as well, but one side has a crack on the upper tab so I didn't install it, I might look for another set later from Japan.Originally Posted by xoarz

To answer your question, the JDM Corners have 2 bulbs a 168/192 wedge bulb for constant and a 1156 bulb for blinkers.
What you need to do is:
1st figure out which wires are which, you need to grab a multimeter, there are 3 wires in the stock connector.
1 is for Constant
2 is for Blinker
3 is for Ground.
Basically, it's pretty basic electronics, unplug the socket connector from the stock bulb socket.
Set your Meter to DC 100volts, or if you have a light tester you can use that too.
flip your parking lights on and hook them up to the 2 of the pins whichever ones gives you a reading is the + and - for constant.
Keep one pin the same and turn your blinkers on test the remaining pin to see which one gives you a reading, that one is the Blinker.
The common pin at this point is the ground.
I hope your Corners came with bulb sockets and wire pigtails, you will need these to wire up the JDM ones.
Use Wire taps if you want to be able to revert the install some point in the future.
you will need to split the ground obviously as each bulbs needs a ground, or you can ground it at some bare metal on the chassis.
So connect your Constant Wire and a ground wire to the 168/192 Wedge.
The other ground and the Blinker wire to the 1156 bulb.
Now test your work, if they work as intended:
Wedge bulb is now your Parking Light, and 1156 only operates as blinkers.
Clean up your wiring with flex conduit and electrical tape.
