So a few years ago I bought some Nismo replacement sidemarkers with the intention of incorporating them onto my S14.
Well fast forward a few years and a couple of moves later and I found them laying in a box. Well I have already made a template to use to install them into the OEM S14 fender and it turned out great.
Now the big problem, it seems that the sockets needed (4 prong) aren't the same as other USDM Nissan side marker sockets (3 prong). I don't want to have to modify the housings and would rather use the correct bulb sockets for the install. The sockets needed are for S15/C33. Maybe other models but I am not sure which ones.
Does anyone know where I can get some sockets? I'm thinking TMS or Yakota will have to help me on this. I have already searched like 20 different JDM sites but most of the stuff is for Hondas, help me!!

Have you tried searching or asking the people that work at rhdjapan.com or courtesyparts.com? Those two sites readily popped into my head as the best place to find something like that.

Ummm, yea. They sell the aftermarket lenses (which I have). The piece I need is part of the car. I'm looking for sockets off of an S15 or C33, or perhaps another car that has the same type bulb socket that I am unaware of.silvia_s14_racer wrote:yea ive tried one of those sites for parts for my car and they had them

When I built my S15 I had similar problems finding compatible light sockets for the various signal lights. What I ended up doing is searching the junkyards for late model Nissan pickups and took the signal sockets out of those. I had to do some trimming and grinding here and there with a dremel, but eventually I was able to get everything to fit.

Re: S15 Sidemarker Bulb Sockets (ddgsxr504)
so the trouble is the Nismo marker have those four cutouts and your bulbs have three? So you are asking for the bulb socket with the plug on it?

Re: S15 Sidemarker Bulb Sockets (themadscientist)
Yea pretty much. The sockets I have are for the front bumper sidemarkers because I thought they were the same. The Nismo sidemarker lenses have 4 prong but the bumper sidemarkers are 3 pronged. I was wondering if you guys in JDM land could get your hands on a set of 4 pronged sockets out of a junkyard S15 or C33.themadscientist wrote:so the trouble is the Nismo marker have those four cutouts and your bulbs have three?
