its on the side of the front bumper of the 1995 s14's it doesnt have a function, it just turns on when you have your HUD's on, not yer headlights the click before [refering to the drivers side where you turn on your headlights]

Actually, those lights do have a function. Otherwise Nissan wouldn't put those there. Government regulation mandates that amber reflectors are placed in a visable area towards the front of the vehicle from the side. As for your question, that front side bumper light powers a single 194 wedge bulb that turns on with one click. You can rewire the bulb to the bumper lights so when you signal, the light will blink. However, doing so will cause the light to be off when you aren't signaling. You can also add a relay to the light and have that wired to your bumper light so when you click it once, the light will be on, but at the same time, it will blink when you activate your signal.

leave it hook up to the cars lights splice an always on relay in and have the turn signal wired to the other portion of the relay to deactivate the power or ground to the marker light. but note the pattern will only happen when the head/parking lights are on.
