DMAX position lamps - posi rep

[Brian]

With 180sx kouki front bumpers, some people make realize that they hate the stock winkers. I know I did. I sold them as fast as possible. The problem was, this leaves you with no turn signals. What to do.....

So, I was talking to DMAX and they said, HEY MAN, We have these position lamps that have TWO holes in them, one for the position lamp and one for the winker.

COOL.

I got a set immediatly in case they would sell out at the drop of a hat.

Wiring them up is pretty easy. The position light goes right in. No questions asked. They come with winker LEDs already. Very nice. Wiring too, so you can splice in all nice and a cheap price. ok? good.

So, you wire up the winker to your winker light wires and BOOM.
Two in one. The position lamp has now become a winker light and position light.

i suggest these if you have a kouki 180sx bumper. I approve and highly recommend them.


Props, posi rep, etc. "big ups"

D-Max *WE-DA-BEST* lol

[240trainee]

Very cool, I wondered if anyone ever made those.

[2iv0 sx]

Now you can use the stock kouki winkers as daylight lights hehe

Anyone try that?

[silviaguy240]

idk, im kinda partial to the oem front signals, maybe its just on darker cars. but these would look better on lighter cars i suppose.

[TheWayItGoes909]

how much perfect timing

[ILoveJDM]

my 180sx has those, but theyre not dmax and use standard bulbs.

[projectRDM]

I like the idea but I don't care for the 'disco ball' look everyone is leaning towards. An OE lens would look 100x better IMO.

[LongGrain]

neato.

i just use OEM ones and wired them up to be blinkers, i dont really think i need front reverse lights, my rear ones dont even work :keke:

[ixfxi]

sub-par turn signal performance? no thanks.

here are some samples compared to stock, just in case you guys are wondering:
ClearCorners.Com [ W5W LED Bulb Shootout ] (http://clearcorners.com/products/006/index01.shtml)

if you need a turn signal, buy a turn signal. dont buy a parking light with two wedge-bulbs, the performance will never compare. its bad enough the w5w cannot compete with an 1156/1157, but those LED W5W bulbs are only good for christmas ornaments

ps: where are the rubber seals for the bulb sockets? i dont see any.

[pink godzila]

Brian is correct, I got the same problem with the Nissan position lamps. The OEM one is so hard to fit into the after market bumper (As far I had in pass, URAS and BN). I still have the OEM one because I already cut and bondo to make it better, but still it fit SUCK and it does not come with LED. Plan to get the D-max one ASAP but Brian which D-max you got? because I know they have 2 different one right.. correct me if I got mix up..

[Brian]

wow mike, those 5 LED "tower of power" bulbs are AWESOME.
where can I get a pair?

pink godzila - i kinda have no idea what you ar e talking about...

[Sonic Motor]

where can I get a pair?

[Brian]

[Brian]

[Ninjabread]

Don't let mike get in your panties.

Although he does have cool products.

[projectdrifter]

[water]

Back when I had an s13, I just wired the oem ones up to blink.

[Brian]

That definitly isn't what this thread is about at all.

Thanks for the info though.

[JVD]

Lulz.

i have a question. as a vendor, how do you promote a product that is inferior in quality, illegal, and unsafe to use? and as consumers, how do you guys support buying this stuff?

http://www.clearcorners.com/temp/junk1.jpg
this is not a lighting pattern.

http://www.clearcorners.com/temp/junk2.jpg
and this in NO WAY is acceptable.

http://clearcorners.com/products/002/H4_OE_1.jpg
Not sure if you guys are just not educated in lighting or dont care, but people.. look at the above photo and study it, this is what a good, quality, halogen low beam (dipped beam) should look like.

http://clearcorners.com/products/002/H4_OE_2.jpg
and this is what a good quality high beam pattern should look like.

its beyond me how people complain about not being able to see at night. its even worse that vendors sell illegal junk when they could at the very minimum, sell Hella/Bosch H4 setups and still make a good buck. theres no reason to sell inferior products that are a liability for the business and the consumer.

[ryguy]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!! I just bought the regular dmax position lights. I love em but the turn signals blink fast as fuck (like they're burnt out) the way I have them wired up. These look awesome, how did nobody think of these before.

If you're using LED bulbs that's why.

You need this if you want LED bulbs to flash normally.

lol.

It was
A. no front turn signals
or
B. These.

I'll choose B.

Yeah, when I was shopping for position lamps it was either

A. OEM Nissan, which was what I wanted but not in stock
B. "Origin," which was in stock but same as these just without the wire/bulb things

I had no choice, I needed position lamps

Sometimes gotta do what you gotta do

I ended up taking my rear sidemarker bulb/harnesses and cutting that to fit in the position lamps and wired it up to blink off the stock harness

Running without lamps on the bumper is a no no, it's like walking around naked

[O3DigitalBath]

just appreciate the parts for their awesomeness, not if they work

ugh what? :wtf:


i'm not sure about you, but i'd like it if my shit works....otherwise what am I paying for?

[jookybanana]

very nice, i might have to copp a set, but i think it would be so much cooler if someone made it more like the oem style

Nah, I have the regular bulbs.

This is what I did too. Maybe I blew a fuse or something.

mike / clearcorners.com

those are headlights. that makes sense. But turn signals?

[LongGrain]

yea sorry dude, but i dont rely on my turn signals to see at night.

i could really care less about the light pattern they project.

[ZX88]

yeah lol oh noes im going to blind people with my turn signals. uhhh not likely.

[Brian]

update.

I am very satisfied with these.

I didn't include a photo of both lights on at the same time simply because my camera phone couldn't pick it up.

Enjoy.

[smelly240]

i hate you... i have oems. im def gonna be drilling holes to mimick your awesomeness (unless someone wants my sexy oem ones).

[Brian]

You don't hate me. Admit it.

I sold my OEMs too.

[water]

oh, good.
That definitly isn't what this thread is about at all.

Thanks for the info though.

It was more or less a response to this.

lol.

It was
A. no front turn signals
or
B. These.



I'll choose B.

You had other options. That was my point. :mrmeph:

[Brian]

Okay.
Thanks for the info again.

[smelly240]

you had no other option. trade me and then sell your stinkin oem ones (my old ones) and buy more of these!

its a win win. you get to be loved and stuff for bein cool for doin something so awesome for me for the holidays plus you get to still get the dmax hotness.

like cmon its so awesome to do stuff for people! LOL

im gonna get those after the holidays and i want a harte attack sticker to spark conversations... and i'll be like - this cool dude brian introduced these lights to me.

[OBEEWON]

Johnny 5 gave me an idea...

...Im gonna put HIDs in my turn signals, that way when I merge people will be blinded and slow out muh way...
maybe I'll stop getting sideswiped...




Who aims thier headlights anyway...I have women to touch and food to eat.

[Johny5]

obeewon is my hero!!!

getting a set of slim ballast hid's for my truck soon i hope if money gets better. the company that makes the vertex style kouki lights makes the exact same headlights for my truck and they're angry eye too! i think i'm gonna do hid hi/lo and not aim them. i pray i see mike on the road after doing this!!

[Ninjabread]

Lol you guys shoulda seen my hid... in a BOSH housing, that shit lit up EVERYTHING.

Fuck people.... Honestly, I've been blinded by many high $ cars that have oem HID coming the other way, and I've been blinded by trucks behind me, I guess from being lower.

So honestly, who cares.

[Johny5]

just wait till theres trucks with dual hid's on them blinding you :) lol!

[Matej]

Strobes for turn signals are rad.

Disco balls inside headlight housings.

[OBEEWON]

Strobes for turn signals are rad.

YES! I like...

Maybe I'll fab some HIDs in my reverse lights to a switch too, for tailgaitors since I dont spit hot fiyah out me tailpipe anymore =(


...HIDs in muh gage cluster...what...get off me.

[Matej]

Turn signal performance.

[WhiteS12+1]

I know dmax is who makes these, but where do you order them from and how much?? Searched the internet and could not find a distributor or any info on these other than this post....I just realized I paid way to much for my Orgin position lights and they did not come with anything other than the light, no bulbs, mounting, or harness(Enjuku for $150). Now I see these and would much rather have these....Thanks in advance!

[driftking777]

talk to this man.... DMaxUSA

[Brian]

Whites12 - several of the sponsors of zilvia deal DMAX stuff. Just search "DMAX" here on the site and I think it will take you to some DMAX threads.

[David Steele]

Parking light is white and the turn is amber? (but just incandescent white in your case).

Does one turn off when you signal?

[Bubbles]

Are these things so heavy they try to rip your bumper off?

[Chrischeezer]

yea sorry dude, but i dont rely on my turn signals to see at night.

i could really care less about the light pattern they project.

lol... seriously...

[smelly240]

i am now officially putting 2nd lights in my kouki lamps.

Well, in theory you could make the lights whatever you wanted to.
I have my winkers in Amber Yellow colour.
The position lights are white.

One does NOT turn off when I turn the other on.

[smelly240]

im gonna put hooker spit on mine so they're just that much hotter than brians (my lights will be burning - and itching... and it'll hurt when they pee).

if i exceed brians lights, i will make high school girls get the pootie juices! currently he is in fact the high school panty drop champion :D

[jbuckley]

i have these position lamps from DMAX and i LOVE them!
they will get HID treatment


thumbs up BRIAN!

[Brian]

I learn something new about myself everyday. Thanks smelly240.

Whuts next??? Middle school hardparking?

Smelly240 is under the PedoBear suit.

His hatch is loaded with FreeCandy Whuut??

He touches no no places and says its our little secret.



Rom ain't teh only thing burning.













But seriously. Ive been sideswiped twice. Im heavily considering mocking up a HID cornering daylight setup in muh corners.
