S15 Headlight wiring

[raw0330]

Just some info that I have never been able to find by searching, and (due to my own laziness) finally figured out.

Wiring S15 Headlights:

Highbeam is a standard 9005 connector, same as the S14

Lowbeam: The 2-pin connector for the h1 bulb is the same connector as the marker light connector on the s14 that will be remove anyways. To keep the low beams on with the highs, I soldered in a diode from the highbeam power wire.

Markers and Blinkers: This was the part I couldn't find. I REFUSE to cut, splice and hack wiring together, so I actually waited and found the same female connector. I found the connector in the main harness on a 95 Maxima right behind the left headlight/corner light. The connector didn't have a mate, and was taped in place to the main harness. Not all Maximas had this connector! I just cut off a pigtail as necessary. Total cost $4.00 and 2 days squishing around in the rain. After doing that, I found the crank sensor pigtail has the same connector on the '95 se 5-spd. the pigtail part number is 24079-70f20. Retail seems to be $40.66/ea.

Do you need some of those used plugs male and female? I have them for sale

[raw0330]

No, thank you. I just searched and searched, and nobody has ever posted exactly the right connectors for those plugs, so for community information I posted them

Hmm...should I do more own wiring to save money?...Haha. I just received my S15 headlights, but my 98 240sx wiring harness is missing a few connectors...blah...maybe I'll just someone whose done it before...Thanks for the post though

oh yeah, btw, what fenders are you using? Looks smooth with the rest of the 240 body lines. I have Origin FRP 20MM S14.5 fenders.

I've been running a set of knockoff cf 30mm fenders with no probs for about 5 years now.

Just added the seibon cf doors to the car this year, and except for a very difficult install, very happy with them.

I've thought about CF doors, however, the safety issue scares me a little. What happens if someone side swipes you? I'm not sure if I would sacrifice safety for some weight reduction. Bet it looks nice though

S14.5 FTW!

I should get mine done in two weeks, I'll post pics when I get it done!

Thanks for the compliments, all! I Just started really showing 'Beast' off this season. Send e-mail addreses for pics, I'll foward a few...

As far as the cf doors, they're stupid light, and this winter, it'll be caged w/door bars to add a little safety and rigidity. At least for now, if it is t-boned, I won't feel it! lol

Ok so what kind of diode did u use and u sd u put it on the Hi beams power wire so did u run the diode so that the current cud run from the battery to the bulb? power-diode- bulb? and how much does the diode u have resist, i like the way u kept the factory plugs and didnt jump the wires so that the low beams and hi beams wud be on all the time making it so the bukb wudnt blow so i wud like to use ur diode idea. please help lol.
