Hey guys.. been searching through a bunch of threads looking for this info but I'm having a really hard time finding what I need.
I picked up a pair of S14 JDM kouki turn signals online from someone who neglected to mention that they were missing the sockets/bulbs/subharnesses..basically I just received the bare signals with nothing attached.
From what I have read, the USDM side marker sockets use a 194 bulb and will screw right into the JDM ones, so I am okay there.
The difference lies in the JDM turn signal element, which from what I understand uses a 921 bulb whereas the USDM turn signal uses an 1156 bulb..is there some difference with the sockets as well?
What I'm wondering is, does anyone know if there is a socket from a USDM car I can splice into my wiring that will fit into the socket plug for the JDM turn signal? Or am I dumb, and all I need to do is put a 921 bulb into the same socket that the 1156 bulb was in and call it a day?
I went to the auto parts store with my turn signal and found a fog light socket/bulb combo that would fit with some modification, but it was a really overpowered bulb for a turn signal. So I'm hoping there is an easier solution.
Basically, I don't have any of these wires/sockets that SHOULD come with the turn signal (if the visual helps):

Any help would be appreciated..thanks.
