now as you all know USDM turn signals only have 1 bulb and socket and the JDM 180sx CHUKI turn signal has 2 bulbs and sockets

im going to take you through (step by step) how to wire your USDM turn signal harness to the JDM amber/clear turn signals

first the wiring diagramSolid Green Wire (running light)Green w/ Yellow Stripe Wire (blinker circuit)Black Wire (ground)Red Wire (power-running light)

here is the USDM signal



here is the JDM signal (i used the D-Max signals instead of the amber/clear signals)



the first step is find a socket that will fit the position light hole (the smaller hole) for this i used the side marker sockets from a 93 altima

now cut and strip the solid green wire on the stock bulb, and the red wire on the smaller socket



the green wire that goes to bulb will not be use so you can cap that off

now you can connect the red wire to the solid green wire that goes to the harness plug



you can now splice the black wire on the smaller bulb into the black wire on the USDM harness

then wrap it in electrical tape to prevent moisture from getting in and the end product should look like this



now you can install it on the car!!!!

RUNNING LIGHTS



4-WAYS ON



CONGRATS you are JDM TYTE YO!!!!

The stock half and half lights plug right in. No McGuyvering required.

Those are not JDM bumper lights. Nice work though.

no offense dude, but thats not such a great job.. you should solder the wires together and shrink wrap, then wrap tightly with black electrical tape all one piece so it looks factory.
