    Bumper running light/blinkers help

    i used brake light sockets in my 90lx front bumper lights, to get them to turn on as running lights, and blink with a 1157 bulb, and it worked great!

    however in my 93ex its not working...?!?! three wires on the brake light socket (red/wblack stripe - orange - and black), to the two wires from the bumper light(green - turn n black), and ran a running light wire up to the corner light.

    i cant get the low side of the 1157 bulb(red/w black) to get power for some reason... no matter which wire, (signal or running light) that i connect to the high side (orange wire) that will work...

    am i missing something? people have used a 92-95 civic corner light socket so ive read, but isint this the same as my brake light socket? or is there something special about the civ socket?

    i dont want hyper blinkers thats ghetto... there has to be a way to do this!

    ideas?

    im not sure about the rear light sockets, but i used civic sockets and i havent had any problems with it. plus they fit the lights perfect.

      i have heard that they fit perfect.... but is it three wires, and connect to three wires, and bam signal/runing lights?! that would be exactly what i want then...

      wonder if it uses the 1157 bulbs i just bought for 8$

          If u used brake sockets then something I'm doing is wrong... What bulbs did u use?

          I mush have a bad socket or the running light wire cuts out when connected.. Something is a miss.

            Socket was missing inner nipple for running light side.. That happens when you get your parts from a jy... Driver side works great and after some searching I found wiring from an old socket to fix! WHAMMO! RL and blinkers in the bumper with brake sockets!
