So how would you hook up JDM signal lights onto a usdm car? I'm trying to make soldering my last resort.


btw only tutorial I found was this http://zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/114133-s14-jdm-kouki-turn-signal-mod.html but I want to make them normal.

its just power and ground man. Find the power wire and find the ground cut and splice use shrink wrap or krimp it using a splice tube. when your all done use electricall tape and walaa done.

No the JDM plugs don't fit.

Eh, never done that before. Are there any tutorials I can look at?

Are you talking about the front marker lights on the fenders, or the indicators on the front bumper?

if there the bumper lights (half amber ones) & without harness then you have to.........

get another bulb with pigtail from another usdm bumper lights at the junkjard or where ever?

then you have to get one bulb with pigtail cut the connector & splice it into the green wire (indicator)& black wire(ground)

then with the other bulb with pigtail just plug it into the connector & that will be your stationary

then just put the bulbs into the light housing & im pretty sure that will do the trick....

it requires soldering and some creativeness.

can you post pictures of the signals, there are 3 possible signals you speak of, actually 4 if you kave a kouki 180 bumper and i don't even know if your talking about an S13 i'm guessing you are but i don't know

now, there are actually only 3 types of turn signals
89-90 fastback (also for silvia)
91-94
and
96-98 180sx (only the lowers are turns, the uppers are parking lights)

all are the same (in terms of wiring) except for the 96-98.


therefor, he must be talking about 96-98 180sx.




which still require wire, and possibly a connector.


or two.

96-98 you can either pick up the sockets from nissan for the signals or you can just one off the connectors--just go to radioshack and pick up the connectors.

Sorry I didn't be specific enough. I'm talking about the kouki s14 turn signals like this one

FS: JDM Kouki S14 turn signals!! CHEAP: Exterior (for sale): Nissan Forums / Infiniti Forums - NICOclub (http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=442471&postid=5096099)

I was hoping if anyone has done a quick tutorial on how to hook these up and if someone can post a link that would be great

What do you mean by 'how'? How do you want to hook them up? There's two bulbs, you can wire them in any number of combinations but no one on here knows what it is you want to do, we don't read minds.

If you're just asking how to connect wiring, you need to begin somewhere else. Like 5th grade.
