Does the Civic 10th Gen side marker on the front fender blink with the turn signal? If not, is there a way to get it to do that?

I don't plan to since the Touring has lights on the mirrors, but it's very basic.

Unplug the wire harness to the sidemarker.
Find the +12v wire from your headlight's turn signal, connect to the +lead of the sidemarker.
Ground the other side.

Before I DIY'ed it on my old car and had it wired to both my parking lights and turn signals so that they flash in inverse with turn signals. Just google it, it's easy.

Does anyone know the bulb type needed in the side turn signal? I want to change mine to a white bulb.

This is an easy mod, run the ground on your side marker to the power supply side on the front headlight turn signal. I was researching the connector so I can built a plug and play mini harness for myself. I dont want cut into the harness like my last car.

Somewhere on the interwebs, I saw switchback side lights. They looked pretty neat! Not the look I'm going for, so I pass for now-
