DO THIS AT YOU OWN RISK!!!!

Assuming you already put on your blinkers, like i did, and are annoyed by the super-fast cop-attention-getting mad Civic Stylie flashing, you can do this to slow it down....

First go buy this stuff - EL12 HD FLasher ($8.99) & some flat connectors ($3.29) on the shelf at Pep Boys

- Thanks Manny, Moe & Jack for their support on this project -

I bought the insulated kind, so i dont have to tape the shit outta stuff, plus it looks cleaner.

With some cutters put female flat connectors on like 5 or 6 inches of wire (both sides need not be female)

Put the females onto the flasher

Locate the stock flasher (on the right of the box marked FUSE)

Pull the Stocker flasher out, its the RIGHT side box

Pull the pins from the wire harness (the LIGHT BLUE & the BROWN located on the top row of three wires) in this pic they are already pulled, the voltage meter (pointy tool) is showing you where they were.

Once you have those pulled, strip the wires. Now you can also put the stock flasher back in place.

Put the corresponding end of flat connector on (the opposite connection of the open end of wires on you flasher )

Once you have the connectors on, put the flasher wires on, use tape or a zip tie to keep all the wires close and tight. i used red electrical tape you you can see it here.

Secure the flashign Unit in a safe non-vibratory place, I zip-tied it to a hole in the helmet holder part of the seat. you can wrap it in something soft too if you are feeling silly...

GOOD LUCK. - YES it will TICK TICK TICK LOUDLY. Its okay. thats normal.

I calim no responsibility if you fuck something up. DO AT YOU OWN RISK. If you are retarded and/or cant use tools, DONT TRY WORKING ON YORU OWN BIKE!!!
