Tried searching but need the info fast.

I am possibly trading my silvia front end for a CHuki front end.

I am curious as to how I wire the headlight motors as I need to drive back at night.

The swap should be straight up front end for front end, mounts and so on.

What would I be missing?

thanks!

if you have a real s13 then you pretty much need the fuse box on the driver side

if not you should have the wiring for the pops hanging there are 3 relays just for those pops

PS i wish i was the guy getting the Silvia front

It is a legit PS13.

because I do not have the clips or anything, what could I do to get the headlights running?

yeah you need the front main chassis harness from a 180sx then it would be a direct plug and play setup, take what you have and get what he/she has

haha I thought about just locking them out open and plugging them in.

Thanks, really appreciate the help. I probably will try a few things before dropping money on a harness haha

Thanks!
