i've searched and i was able to find some info, but i need clarification on a few things.i have the non-projectors, which i was able to wire up, but the corner lams and fogs are giving me a few problems.
i was planning to hook up the clear part of the corner lamps to the same lead as the bumper lights (still not too sure ho to do this) and then wire the amber part of the corner lamps to the sidemarker leads, right?
i want to hook up the fogs to the headlight pop-up switch, but i have no idea how to do that...
should i get new connectors/harnesses (if so, what kind and where can i get them) or should i just solder everything?
are the bumper lights the same as the usdm 89-90 lights?

the one that came originally on the side marker goes to the amber part. and to hook up the clear part, all you have to do is splice into the bumper light and connect it. might need to extend the wire though. as for the fog lamp, most people splice into the motor wire when hooking up there fog lamp. i plan on doing it also but was to lazy to look up the wiring so i never wired it up.

fogs? on non projectors? Where? If you are refferring to the two inner lamps, those pretty much need to be on the whole time, the two outers are so dim they dont light for sh!t. As far as hooking them to your pop up switch, thats what I did but remember, when you turn your headlights on, they are supposed to pop up so the inners will light, and you cant turn them off. I can but its because my headlight switch is faulty LOL. As for the hookup, you need to find the big grey plug by the headlights that have 4 wires I think, its the orange wire with black strip I believe. thast the wire for the popup switch. Test with a voltmeter before hand though, I know the main color is orange, but not sure about the stripe.

yeah, sorry that's what i meant, the two inner lights. the healight pop-up lead has five wires( large solid orange, large black; small orange, small orange with white stripe; large purple with white strpe) that goes into a black plug with three sections (2 wires per section). the inner light has a male plug that looks like any regular light plug... so i should cut the headlight pop-up lead and put on a female plug to match the inner male plug?
for the side marker lead, do i cut it and try to find a connector to fit the one on the amber corner lamp, or should i cut both?
for the clear part of the corner lamp, should i use a Y-connector to split the bumper light lead and then get some extra wire?

you're really confusing yourself bro. the side marker that came originally on the pop up headlight front end should fit right in to the amber part of the corner light for the silvia front end. as for the clear part. it's not possible to hook it up through a Y wire set up. just splice into the bumper light (which should be two wires) and connect the two other wires from the corner light into it. positive go with + and negative goes with -. as for the inner lamp, you will need to use a voltmeter to test which wire is the one that's for the pop up head light.
