Help!!! s13 coupe tailights wiring - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

ok everyone so I've been searching for fsm manuals trying to figure this thing out and I'm stumped either I'm not seeing what I'm looking for or I'm over looking the answers in the online manuals..

my senerio

I have an 89 coupe, rhd conversion.. had nothing but wire issues so I got a full chassis 180sx harness.. I noticed the taillight clips were removed no big deal.. so I cut back the tape on the old harness and clips the wires.. I noticed that on the original one (usdm) the wires on the clip is

and I noticed that the jdm wiring is

so I noticed that the jdm doesn't have the green and white strip wire like usdm wiring... so I'm a little confused how im supposed to solder these together? I know you can't base the info off color that I need to know exactly what each wire does and I'm stumped on this end... also do anyone know of a way to relocate a defroster plug? on the hatch backs it goes to the back of the car on the coupes it goes to the driver side rear qt (usdm)... any and all help would be greatly appreciated everyone thank you...

Pics dont work. But there should be black on all of them for ground. Connect it first then just twist the other wired and test to see if it works. Trial and error.

I found this....l

180sx
reverse lights
black-black
green/white-green/white

inside brake light
black
green/white-red/blue
green/yellow-red/green

turn signal
pass
green-green/yellow
driver
green-gren/black
outside brake
black-black
green/white-red/blue
green/yellow-red/green

s13
green/white reverse
red/blue parking
green/black right turn
green/yellow left turn
red/green is brake and black is ground

can anyone please put that into laymans terms lol.. for jdm to usdm im thinking that is what is means on the first part but I might be wrong.

also anyone know anything about the wiring for headlights?
