I installed my nismo copycat bumper from GTP and the regular S14 turn signal lenses dont fit.

Does anyone know what lenses Im supposed to use? And if so where I can get them? here is a pic of the bumper with some yellow turn signals http://www.importfan.com/produ...=2513 so I know it is designed for some sort of turn signal. Maybe J-spec guhhh what a P.I.T.A.

It really sucks when I want to turn left in a busy intersection. I have the bulbs zip tied in the holes right now but nobody seems to notice them.

Thanks in advance

the answer is simple.the Japanese s14 early model has smaller winkers. they are the same shape as USA ones, but slightly shorter.JSPEC might sell them.

Yup. And courtesy has them also. Question for you though... how is the fitment on the car? Is the quality good? Pics?

I have the same bumper. You're stuck with buying JDM turn signals. I have the amber ones, not the typical clear ones that you always see. I actually like how it looks on the emerald green paint.

I got mine brand new for like $75 from someone on the forums. I think they go for like $115 otherwise.

Yea I was afraid of that here you go some pics of the fitment. The bumper came broken and then GTP was backordered so i had to have it fixed. Johnathin at GTP was very cool and sent me some free stuff for the trouble.

Here is the prep work fitting it up. you can see the large gray spot in the corner where it was patched with new FG.

Here you can see how well the bumper matches up on the side. Needless to say I was very impressed.

how close are they? I dont want to cut the lense part because that never looks right again. I wouldent mind cutting the back out of a signal though.

what do you mean "cut the lense part" ?

You going to trim the sides and back to make them fix.....which is way I said ghetto....however it works.
