WTF are winker lights and when should they be on? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Brentbohn · 04-13-2011, 06:15 PM

I have a 98 with silvia k's front end, included were winker lights that take the place of fog lamps.
1 how should these be wired up
2 when should they illuminate?
3 whats the purpose of them in jdm world? are they city lights?
4 has anyone modded turnsignals to have all three lamps alternate in direction?

please dont post opinions just factual information. I have searched it and found bits and pieces but nothing complete.

Fact: winker lights are turn signal lights.
Fact: winker lights don't wink at you.

also post pics of your "winker lights" with the "JDM" front end the turn signals should go right above the fog lamps not in place of fog lamps.

s14 silvia front end should be the same as usdm except the front bumper, turn signal lights

sorry for confusion, I have a silvia K's aero bumper and the jdm turn signals, but i also have some sort of turnsignal extension piece in the middle that is about 2 inchs long that fills the void where the foglights would have been,

Mishkin_707 · 04-16-2011, 07:32 PM

JDM fog light deletes. Please don't take them off. They fill in the gap where the factory ugly foglights go into.
