ATTENTION s13 silvia conversion peeps

[Armstec_S13]

Ok peeps, I came up with a solution for us with silvia conversions to take advantage of our factory fog lamp wiring and using a switch that plugs directly into it and replacing the flip up light switch, I'm thinking of making them and selling them on the cheap side, especially that finding the jdm switch is a hassle and expensive, I'm thinking about $30 shipped or cheap if people send me their flip up light switch, first I'm going to try this local here for chicago land area and see how it goes.
I figure its better than using some cheapo switch that burns out or worse causes an electrical fire like my friend did last week which made me do this switch in the first place. I will post a video on youtube tomorrow to show you guys.

Are you talking about wiring the brown wire as your 12v on your fogs? This is already all over the internet. Why would you need to change anything on the button? For looks?

My guess is you'll just be overlaying some sort of decal over the original button which imo isnt worth 30 bucks? Sorry, dont mean to be a douche.. just trying to find reason

[Armstec_S13]

No, I'm am not talking about cutting the brown wire, the switch I made connects into the factory fog lamp wiring harness, no modification to any factory wiring and the parts I used are OEM nissan

[badbob2121]

hmmm.... video or atleast pictures may help clarify

[Armstec_S13]

will do badbob, to clarify to anyone wondering, there is NO cutting into ANY factory wiring, the switch i made is made with OEM nissan parts, this switch WILL plug into the factory fog lamp wiring harness in our S13's, with NO modifications, AND the connector on the switch that i made is for the factory fog lamp wiring harness will post pics and a video in a few. not to mention with the switch i will be including the factory relay the goes into the relay box under ther hood for the fog lamps, those things cost more than $30 for no extra charge.

I believe some people wire them into the pop up light button.
It would be nice if there was a plug n play one. But its not to hard to do yourself.
Def get a video up.

[Armstec_S13]

I'm gonna shower and then post the video, To Enjoinismo, yes this is plug and play.
the video is processing now, sorry about the quality, i had to record it from my damn my touch phone.

It seriously just looks like you ripped off the decal off of the pop up switch? And some how you would have had to use the brown wire because thats what that switch is connected to. I wouldnt pay 30 dollars for something i can wire up myself. Which i have already done for Silvia friends in the past. And as for Reliability? Seriously, just throw a low watt fuse in there and call it a day

Ive done several wiring jobs for friends Silvia lights. And Ive never cut the brown wire. I used the corresponding plug and utilized just the wire on the other side along with a fuse to each bulb... So no, didn't hack up the harness. And the total cost on my end for that? 0 dollars. Unless you want to count the tools that i used to do it.

[EnjoiNismo]

Can you just run the fog light on? or do you have to have the headlights on with it?

RB25nURface, yes, i used the outer housing from the pop up light switch thats why i took the pop up light decal off to put a fog decal on it because it is now a fog switch, the connector you are seeing me plug this switch into is the OEM fog lamp wiring that i already pulled through, the pop up light wiring was already puhsed through, the internals of the pop up lights switch were not used nor was the connector from the pop up switch, i did not cut the brown wire, i didnt even use the pop up wiring, i used the OEM fog lamp wiring our S13's are equipped with, pull out your pop up light switch and compare the connector part to mine, please read and pay attention to my posting before commenting, i cannot be more clear about what i did and didnt do.

please read what i have been posting please, i cut NO wiring, used factory parts to make my switch, anyone can put some switch but i used the housing of my pop up light switch because it fits in the spot the JDM silvia fog lamp switch, i used the OEM fog light wiring and did not cut or add any fuses other than then OEM relay that goes into the spot it belongs in the relay box that is already fused iirc, parts cost me almost $20 so $30 isnt bad considering im not charging people shipping or the OEM relay you need to put under the hood, the relay alone cost $50+
im offering people a a chance to take advantage of using OEM fog lamp wiring and having a factory button placed where it belongs without having some random place to to add a aftermarket fog lamp switch, not to mention have a clean OEM look inside their car, look up that OEM silvia fog lamp switch and tell me which price you'd rather pay.

Can you just run the fog light on? or do you have to have the headlights on with it?

no sorry, almost every vehicle with fog lamps only run fog lamps when the head lights are on, the way that nissan made our fog lamp wiring in our cars run the same way, fog only turn on when the head light are on and when i turn my high beams on low beams and fog lamps turn off.

to everyone wondering, the head lamps are connected to the OEM 240sx head lamp wire harness, so i did not rig anything in my car, im currently trying to find a fog lamp decal that i can have made for these buttons to complete the look, one more and last time im gonna repeat this, THIS SWITCH IS PLUG AND PLAY, LETS SAY YOU BUY ONE FROM ME, YOU GET THE BOX OPEN IT, TAKE THE BUTTON OUT, DISCONNECT YOUR POP UP LIGHT SWITCH, PUSH THE POP UP LIGHT WIRING CONNECTOR IN (YOU WILL NOT USE IT) LOCATE YOUR OEM FOG LAMP WIRING HARNESS PULL IT THROUGH THE PORT WHERE THE POP UP LIGHT SWITCH WAS AND PLUG IN MY SWITCH AND YOU'RE DONE.
I DID NOT CUT THE "BROWN" WIRE, I DID NOT CUT ANY FACTORY WIRING, I DID USE THE PUP UP LIGHT BUTTON HOUSING, THE CONNECTOR AND THE INTERNALS ARE NOT POP UP LIGHT PARTS, THESE PARTS ARE ALL OEM AND MADE FOR FOG LAMPS. i am picky about my car, i dont want some aftermarket fog button randomly put somewhere random place in my interior, i know some of you are the same way, thats why i came up with this.

This guy is right. What confuses people is s13s didn't come with fog lights, but they were wired for them.

[Armstec_S13]

This guy is right. What confuses people is s13s didn't come with fog lights, but they were wired for them.

Thank you, I totally forgot to mention, our S13's came pre-wired for fog lamps, 1989 to 1994 240sx had fog lamps as a dealer installed option in the U.S. but the majority of the people buying the 240sx did not get them, but the S13 was pre-wired just in case people did want the fog option and all the dealer would do is connect the fog button and bolt on the fog lamps and connect them to the existing fog lamp harness in the car oh and almost forgot they would put the relay in the relay box under the hood
