Never even heard of a 240sx? Do you know what forums your posting in? ( Don't know if that made sense of if it was necessary(What I said that is).

ANYWAYS

Nice stuff here...I think I can find most of this stuff at home depot (seeing that I work there) if not I'll probably head to AutoZone to pick up whatever I didn't get. Thanks again for the write up and this should be a sticky!!!! <--Out of all the faces....why does this one have to be black?! Man racist...jk! Alright off to home depot!

Looks like a great writeup!

I'll pass it along to the powers that be. I think it's article-worthy, but then again, it's not my decision ultimately.

On the back of your switch should be a threaded cap that you can remove.To mount it in the location i used, you have to pry those fake buttons off the dash with a screw driver (they pop right out) then you have to make a hole big enough for the back of the switch to fit into.After that, just screw that cap onto the switch, thus holding it in place, then just pop the fake buttons with your new switch back on and thats it...I think mine was actually the O/D off light, So the hole was already started, i just made it bigger....Thanx for all the compliments guys, hope this helps everyone interested.

I just had one question...I'm a newb at electrical stuff btw...where do I wire "Power to LED" at? This DIY was very easy! The diagram itself was very informative.

I mounted on the fake switch, underneath my headlight switch, but it broke in the process of putting a hole through it...I told exactly what would happend, when my friend drilled it for me too! But no, he didn't listen and the button got caught up, spinned around all violently, and flew across the garage...Oh well, going to the junkyard tomorrow morning!

Thanks again for the great writeup!

When working on another mod, i used a "noid light" ( looks like a screwdriver with a light inside the handle.)Probe a few wires that arent in use, i used the O/D off indicator light wireing, since i had swaped over to 5spd, it was no longer in use, probe the wires and find the one that makes the noid light turn on and thats your power.Connect that to the "ground" on the switch, and tape off the other wire left, and it should work.Im not one thats too into electrical stuff but that seemed to work fine for me.Mabey if someone that knows, can confirm that this is ok to do, but like i said it worked fine for me.

also if anyone else wants to mount their switch on the fake switch button, you should try to use a hand drill (not the power drills). you also should try to cut out the plastic pieces inside the button if your button won't fit.
Sweetness...I just picked up a button from the junkyard, well...it's the defroster button from the other side. Both look same size...except I got more plastic to cut from the inside, haha. Where can I get this hand drill tool, you speak of...?

.... you mean when driving with the sleepy eyes engaged? Nope, infact alot of track cars use this to allow alittle more air flow to keep engine temps down.

This is a completly safe mod, ive had no problems at all, its been done on my car for almost 5 months now, and i use it almost every day.
