I've watched so many versions of this modification and yours is THE BEST and the CLEAREST. Thank you so much! You make this modification so easy that even a 5 year old can do it!
I don't own a 10th gen Civic but these look great! I especially like how you weren't into so much detail on how to install them. I really appreciate the quality you put into your videos.
Thank you for watching and the feedback. I really appreciate it. I try to make the tutorial how to videos as detailed as possible. That way anyone can tackle the job.
I will be owning a 10th gen soon and for sure I will swap for these smoke ones. Looks way better to me than the yellow especially because I will be getting a white civic.
It's crazy that you guys out there are changing it to clear or smoke color. While us, especially in the southeast asia, we change our side markers from clear to amber one 😅
Thanx first video i clicked n i already kno how to do it, if you could update just add how lights look when car is on. I would have like to see how the amber lights look with that cover
I don’t know if it’s because I’m attempting this in the middle of the freezing cold winter but this is giving me a very hard time with getting the bulb back into the lens
These sidemarkers look great with white LEDs. I wish there was a switchback LED that was white until you had to turn then it'd switch to orange, cus I think everyone should use amber for turning regardless.
They do sell them like that. amzn.to/2DeLSwH However, it requires you to run your own wire for the turn signal function. Just need to tap the stock turn signal bulb in the front headlights. The stock sidemarkers are only on for standard driving aka parking lights.
No I have not but there is a department of transportation regulation that states that the light assembly should reflect or display amber color if equipped.
Different clip design than the 1L 2017 SE CIVIC. Look good these though. Seems a common issue the water Ingres ad fogging. Locating in a wheel arch gets plenty air flow and water.
Question, I have the screws out but there seems to be nowhere for the screw to bite on the bottom most screw of the passenger side. Am I missing something?
Might be a stupid question but I don't mind asking. I definitely installed them correctly. Neither light turns on now. Do they only turn on when the car is In drive? And do the led's have polarity? Like is there a chance I put both in the wrong direction? Thanks
The cheap ones I ordered out of China, the bulb didn’t twist in properly on the passenger side, so I had to sand down the rubber washer lol, other wise was fine though
My side marker keeps popping out the part that pops out won't hold it in. I just purchased a new side marker. Not sure if it will make a difference. Unless the screws are loose.
@@DIYCarModz I did end up replacing the side marker. It snap right back in no longer sticking out. I think the orange one may have been bent or broke somewhere.
Looking to switch out amber light bulb for a white or blue led, probably white to match the auto LED'S on front headlights. Does anyone know where I can find such bulb and what kind it is? TIA
It should not be loose. Check to make sure the plastic tab in the back of the sidemarker is not cracked. Also, the metal piece that the plastic tab can bend during installation. So try bending the metal piece towards the outside of the vehicle.
In Japan, For this civic the stock ones are just plain clear. I know right. JDM usually is amber like you said for the 10th gen is is clear. www.civicx.com/threads/edm-jdm-side-marker-install.20585/

Which bulbs should I use? Also I wish I could of saw you replace them
This video was very helpful. As a single woman, I can always count on RUclips videos to help me save money by doing things myself.

Mine came via Amazon today and are installed.
Thanx first video i clicked n i already kno how to do it, if you could update just add how lights look when car is on. I would have like to see how the amber lights look with that cover
Smoked! Gf ordering smoked Amber LEDs
Great video! Clear imagen, clear explain! Thank you!

Thank you. My passenger side keeps popping out. Not sure why ???
damn i didnt know it was that easy to remove the whole cover, i just tinted it with it on the car... took a lot of cutting and re-adjusting lol
amazing tutorial, thanks!
Great video thanks 🎉
What about the wiring of the turn signal ?
How long do these bulbs last? My car is only 3 years old and one of them is already out.
Excellent video - thank you! I am trying to decide if I want the clear or the smoke on my black Hatchback... :-)
Have you heard anything about this voiding insurance if you get in a wreck? I bought the smoked with white led on amazon. 😬
No I have not but there is a department of transportation regulation that states that the light assembly should reflect or display amber color if equipped.
Thank u for this videooooo :3
My car doesn’t have a push tab, it looks so different. Please help????
Subbed! Thanks for the help!
How do you take out the bulb
Very nice and well explained. Thank you very much :-)
Wish the knock off sidemarker I got off ebay would come off this easy... the driver side won't budge
Thank 👍 you!
Excellent ..
Nice, I want to do the same on my 2018 hatchback ex.
Different clip design than the 1L 2017 SE CIVIC.
Look good these though. Seems a common issue the water Ingres ad fogging. Locating in a wheel arch gets plenty air flow and water.
Thank you so much
i’m struggling with pressing the tab. do i just press it down a certain way?
You can push it back with your fingers
Question, I have the screws out but there seems to be nowhere for the screw to bite on the bottom most screw of the passenger side. Am I missing something?
You are probably missing the clip nuts. www.hondapartsnow.com/genuine/honda~nut~clip~90305-sm4-003.html
Are these smoked side markers legal in Ohio? I’ve looked but can’t find a definitive answer
I agree, Yours is the best and clearest! Great job and thanks for making this project a snap to do!
Might be a stupid question but I don't mind asking. I definitely installed them correctly. Neither light turns on now. Do they only turn on when the car is In drive? And do the led's have polarity? Like is there a chance I put both in the wrong direction? Thanks
I'm facing this exactly same issue now, mind sharing how you solve it afterward?
@@kentlee4481, Both bulbs were in the wrong direction lol. Just bad luck on my end. Flip them 180 degrees and they should light up
@@thinkforyourself5672 after verified it, found out it was the bulbs burnt out, it light up with new bulbs
The cheap ones I ordered out of China, the bulb didn’t twist in properly on the passenger side, so I had to sand down the rubber washer lol, other wise was fine though
My side marker keeps popping out the part that pops out won't hold it in. I just purchased a new side marker. Not sure if it will make a difference. Unless the screws are loose.
The metal tab probably is out shape or bent. It's very thin. You car try to reshape the metal tab
Should I still replace the side marker or return it?
@@DIYCarModz I did end up replacing the side marker. It snap right back in no longer sticking out. I think the orange one may have been bent or broke somewhere.
@@DIYCarModz thank you for making a video on how to replace the side marker.
Looking to switch out amber light bulb for a white or blue led, probably white to match the auto LED'S on front headlights. Does anyone know where I can find such bulb and what kind it is? TIA
It's just a 194 or 168 led bulb.
The back tabs wont lock in, any advice?
push the metal bracket out. Its soft metal you can push in and out. More than likely it was pushed in.
@@DIYCarModz You mean attached to the car using a flathead right or the side marker?
How do I remove the bulb without touching it
Don't touch it with your bare hands. put on some latex gloves or use a shop towel
Which size is the bulb?
194
You got 10th gen civic now?
I have 2013 Accord coupe, 2012 Honda Fit Sport and this 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback that I can now make videos for.
Where do I order these
Smoked Side Markers Product Link: amzn.to/2Tora46
Nice tutorial! The side markers are close to $60 comparing to others that range around $40, is this more just a quality thing?
I’ve personally ordered ones from Amazon and on one side it fit but the other didn’t
Is this legal?
Mine seem a bit loose now that they are replaced. Is that normal
It should not be loose. Check to make sure the plastic tab in the back of the sidemarker is not cracked. Also, the metal piece that the plastic tab can bend during installation. So try bending the metal piece towards the outside of the vehicle.
I purchased some off of eBay that came with LED lights.
When i put mine back it won't lock. Any idea why?
either the plastic tab on the sidemaker is cracked or the metal piece where it clips onto is bent.
I broke the tab off lol
The orange marker are more “JDM” looks and better looking than smoked one. 😂
