I know there’s been a few threads about this but just wanted to share my experience!
1. Bumper removal
Pretty straight forward, there’s plenty of videos floating around from @Mishimoto, @procivic and other users around the forums.
2. Fake vent removal
A little harder but just took my time to not break any of the clips. Center section must be pulled out a little to remove fake vent section. That includes the Phillips head screw and a few of the clips pushed out.
3. Installing the iJDMTOY LEDs
Cut down the screw hole about halfway down for better fitment. Installed a screw and IMO was plenty sturdy for any kind of driving. Then drilled out hole in plastic on bumper to run the wire.
4. Wiring
I have a 2017 EX Hatchback, always check if you have a different model in case of color differences. I even double checked by just keeping one connector plugged in to see which light was working. Spliced them with solder then heat shrink and black electrical tape.
Brake light harness: Green and black with black connector. OEM green to iJDMTOY red.
Taillight harness: gray and black with black connector. OEM gray to iJDMTOY green and OEM black to iJDMTOY black.
Turn signal harness:
Left side - gray and black with gray connector. OEM gray to iJDMTOY yellow.
Right side - brown and black with grey connector. OEM brown to iJDMTOY yellow.
5. Reinstall
Ran wire under tail lights and straight down behind bumper. Reinstalled all screws and clips.
