Does anyone know how to wire the jdm hump sidemarkers into the usdm harness?

I think it might be green-to-red, and black-to-black, but I want to be sure.

Which ones? The orange diagonal or the clear corner lights?

The orange lights splice into the front turn signals, wiring matches up perfectly to color.

The clear lights plug into your old side marker plugs.

The JDM 180sx hump sidemarkers...the ones on the fenders.

When I compared the wires, the usdm ones had red/black, and the jdm had green/black (IIRC).

the jdm ones use a totally different bulb size/style.

Its not a matter of "depending on these boards", its a matter of "I want to do it right the first time and not **** something up".

You guess and test on cutting wood or measurements...not on electrical stuff (especially if you're electricity illiterate).

For some reason I only had to do that on the passenger side. The driver's side was a perfect match...

Anyway, that was it. They work now (just gotta replace the bulb).
