Hi Guys,

First off I want to introduce myself, I own a 180sx and I live down in Miami FL.

I’m here to ask for some guidance on if there’s a possibility of converting a turn signal stalk (aka turn signal switch) from a Silvia to a 180sx. My 180sx stalk has a wire that goes into the back of it and it’s to activate the pop up headlights. Now the Silvia one had the actual hole where that wire goes in but it doesn’t actually bring the wire. (Since there’s no pop up heads lights obviously). I’ve tried looking around but I can’t find any information on this.

Thanks!

Usually a blank hole means there's no provision for a connection on the internal circuit board. Rather than trying to create one, if the rest of the switch will work, rig a relay off one of the low beam wires to work the pop-ups whenever the beams are on.
