i forgot to jot down what the corner lights do when i stripped my silvia, theres 2 lights in each corner housing (#1 and 2)

(1) ...............................................................(1)....(2)..........................................................(2)..........(3)...(4)....(5) <Silvia> (5)....(4)...(3).................................................. ...........................(666)................................ (666)....

this is looking at the face of the silvia with projector headlights...

6= blinker/parking lights5= fog lights4= high beams3 = normal headlights2= ?1= blinker/parking light?

if those are right, then what did #2 do(1 and 2 are on teh corner lamp, 3,4,5 on the main headlight part)

so, what does the big part of the corner lamp do?

The yellow part of the sidemarkers is wired up with your bumper lights.

I actually didn't wire mine, I bought the car with the front already done.

I got the JDM bumper lights from Mossy Nissan (mossyperformance.com).

Both side markers should be wired into the bumper lights (since bumper does blinker and parking lights).

He's referring to your "666" thing, the mark of the beast.

I do have a silvia face, triple projector to be specific.

The clear corner lamps of your Silvia face should be hooked up to the existing USDM plug. You may have to use the original bulb/socket/plug assembly from your 240 to get it to plug in.

The Silvia face amber lamps have to be spliced in with the front bumper lights, all of the wires should match to the same color, so its not a big deal, you just need a bit of small gauge wire to make the connection.

Now when it is wired correctly, you will notice that when you turn the headlights on (either parking lights or fully on), you will notice the amber lights do not come on and the clear lights do. The ambers should only come on when the turn signal or emergency flashers are on.

so when i splice the ambers onto the bumper lights, they wont turn on with the parking lights, even tho the bumper ones do?

and the wires that went to the orange side lights on the 240 face will go into the big clear part of the corners, and only be parking lights, and not blink with the turn signals?

if thats all true, sounds good ... i just had mismatched bulb mounts on my 240 face, so i need to find another 2 peg mount (one of my side markers was a 2 peg, one was a 3 peg)
