I used led strips in my lights changed the position of the blinker and swapped the wires in the plugs and here is the result. Is the amber always in stock form? I was hoping both were on in front so i am thinking of now swapping the sidemarker wires with the corner of my lights to have them on all the time.

Very cool. I think on the NSX, the amber is always there on the turn signal portion. You'd have to melt/break it out if you want to get rid of it.

As for keeping the turn signal on constantly, be careful as the heat generated could cause the turn signal housing to begin to burn, darken and melt. I did the same thing on my HS girlfriend's '97 Accord and we went though 3 sets of clearcorners before we decided to wire it back to stock. I suggest switching the bulbs to LED replacements, so that the heat isn't an issue (that wasn't an option back in '97 :tongue:). Looked similar to this:

Do you mind telling how you split them open?
I have a similar project on hold because i'm not sure how to, and i dont want to ruin the lights.

I do have leds installed on the corner blinker so heat shouldent be an issue.

In a way you do have to kinda ruin them mattering on what you want to do. The corner blinker i didn't have to ruin it http://www.oznium.com/led-modules (strip not oval) is what i used and i was able to insert it thru the hole in the back and stick it to the top. I then broke the bulb and soldered the wires to the bulb. If it dosent light up just turn the postion of the bulb and it should LED(diode) so the + and - have to be hooked up right. The larger front portion i used a hacksaw(dremel would prbly be better) to cut the back of the light open to removed the amber filter and install the led strips http://www.oznium.com/silicone-encased-led-strip(I had to remove silcone case to get them to stick in) then used epoxy to seal the light back togther. Once again broke the bulb and soldered the wires to the bulb. That bulb u gotta make sure u solder them in the correct spot or it wont light. I have a dense fog outside right now and they looked sealed up good no water inside. Swapping the pins was easy both had the same pins. As long as u can get them to release outa the plug its quick and easy. Messy with all the grease inside the plug tho.
 
Can you please translate this to English?

That looks awesome! I like the fact that they're not the typical 'LED line' that seems to be the trend.
