I just purchased my new car a few days ago = this thread for picshttp://www.nissaninfiniticlub....21806

Anyway u see the aftermarket headlights. first off the yellow blinker lights were not in the cornerlights at all, they were just hanging stashed in the front bumper. so i pulled them out took off the corner lamps and switched the connects. There are blue bulbs that blink white in the blinker lense now (which im assuming is illegal) but anyway after switching the connecttors to the ones existing in the corner lamps the "pace" or "speed" the of the blinks increased. Is there a signifigant reason for this??

I think that means one of them is not on, hence less resistance in the circuit, hence they blink faster. Thats why they blink faster when one burns out. (I'm really making stuff up at this point, electrical stuff sucks :()

one of mine don't blink as well...the front left sidemarker turns on but doesn't blink. same with the front left blinker....it turns on when u turn on the lights, but doesn't blink when you blink em :D. no idea what's goin on. checked my fuses and they're OK. my guess, fourshot, is to check your wiring and relays.

Ok let me give more info. When they were plugged into the other ones, they blinked at a steady rate. When i plugged the connectors into the different blubs the rate is faster. I checked both sides tho and the bother blink correctly, just fast? If this is not helping I will take pictures of both bulb pieces.

are both sides blinking at the same rate? i think the previous bulbs were slower blinking because they had more resistance?
