Bumper Pole Help

[ProJect]

Very true mike, it will hold with out the bracket, i think the bracket is there just to make it more sturdy.

can you scan those pages airride? i need to know the specs on what size and where to make the hole for the pole. thanks in advance!

Dammit, everyone's gonna beat me to getting this piece of sh!t thing to work.

I don't have a switch or a relay...blah.

[timmy0tool]

i'm still trying to figure out the relay business mike. there are more wires than i thought but for the most part, all you really need are constant power, ground, and power when the lights are on. i'll keep you updated!

i`ve just received pole switch. There are 4 wire that`s black,red,red/black and white/red. Can someone tell me how to wired it to?

[TypeG]

is there a templet on the backside of the bumper that tells you where to put it?

if it is a jdm part, would'nt it be on the wrong side for the a driver in the US?

people seem to love jdm stuff, but they aren't doing the biggest jdm convo of all. right hand drive. later.

kid262: my pole switch only has two wires to it and it goes directly to the relay. i dunno about your switch. you might have the up/down button from an EK.

TypeG: no template under the bumper. yeah i recommend to put the pole on the opposite side of the driver (DUH!) so it can actually be helpful rather than just be "jdm". RHD convos are not common at all but they are doable. i believe there is a shop in florida that specializes in them. i personally would not ruin the integrity of a car's chassis just to have a different driving position and to be unique. there are other ways to do that. my $0.02.

Hey can anyone tell me what the use of this pole in japan was used for????

I can only guess it was for the tight streets and parking they have?

Also , can anyone post pics of the pole up and down?

THANKS! this is interesting

yeah i think ur exactly right, when i was going to buy buy one it was under the name "parking assitant".... well here's a pic of the JDM bumper with it, however it doesnt show it when its up, and the picture is not of my bumper!
(sorry for low quality)

[timmy0tool]

here it is on kurobei's ride on the passenger side. be it LHD or RHD, it should be on the opposite side of the driver.

Good Question....

I think it should be on the oposite side of the driver.
Like that you'll know if you're close to the curb or not, makes sense...

[mrvinyl33]

Ooh, I didn't realize its really like a mini-powered antenna, same type of nut and insulator. And yes unless you're going RHD, it should be on the passenger side.

here are some other pics of the ple...this one's on a hatch.. i believe they are all prety much the same, maybe the swtich buttons differ..but i am not sure..















anyone correct me about the pole..are they all pretty much the same?

[timmy0tool]

yes they are pretty much the same besides the button function and the mast mounting. our accords just have an on/off button while civics and others have an actual up/down switch (pictured above). the mast mounts differ from car to car b/c bumper covers differ from car to car (DUH!) but they should fit with minimal modding.

great! thanks for clearing that up...im thinking of gettin one of these if i do, ill make sure to mount it where it actually "helps", since im not RHD!

fuck, the guy i bought my switch and harness from didnt send me the relay, although the auction title says complete wiring, theres no fucking relay, looks like i wont be installing this tomorrow, god damnit, what is wrong with people

Damn Zach seems like your luck is in the shitter when it comes to buying anything, first the header and downpipe and now this. Later
