Yes, as long as the lights are 12V.

That wiring diagram isn't exactly correct. The 3 way switch isn't wired up right I think. Look in the DIY for another thread on the 3 way switch.

Well, to be honest, I'm trying to use the "Add-a-Circuit" and connect the Power wire into the "dorm light" fuse...

But I'm guessing there are no dorm light fuse..
so one would have to "tap" into the actural dorm light wires..
am I correct so far?

[civictypesEX]

AWESOME! Thanks for the DIY.

anyone looking for the T TAPS believe it or not but i found mine at Radio shack but every place I've been they only carried 1 or 2 packs.

Add a circuits are a waste of dough. I just plugged my positive into fuse number 10 with a switch. That is only live when the ignition is on (II) so you cant drain your battery, and the lights are such low drain dont worry about blowing anything.

would the dome light harass be in the same place for an australian civic sedan (JDM)? coz i wasnt able to find anything on the lower side of the fuse box that resembles it

check out Oznium.com they have a ton of lighting options and for a reasonable price. I've been buying from them for years.

One piece of 30cm/15 LEDs costs around $8~9.

The hyper white looks very tastefull...especially the way the light hits the floor matts.

[tda1337]

personally it will be blue for me
gotta match the dash board and the 3w leds i put in (and soon the 5W hehe)
so blue for meeee
white is probably more practical lol but blue works
just dont drive with it on, cause looking down and then back up could cause problems (blue is a hard color for ur eyes to recover from in nighttime conditions)

Called the parts department at my local Honda Dealer.

2006 Civic Si Wiring:
Postitive = Light Blue/Grey
Negative = Pink/Grey

i have a 06 ex coupe and i tapped blue and pink . it dindt work, but i tapped light blue and it worked so 06 ex wiring is the same.

[zippob09]

yes this dude is correct....i also have a 2006 EX and the LIGHT BLUE/GREY PINK/GREY combo works. The true BLUE/GREY is the incorrect positive wire for a 2006 EX coupe.

Hey I was wondering if there was a wire that was the parking lights that are located under the steering wheel that I could stub my lights into so when i turn my parkin lights on the courtesy lights turn on. PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
