This is one of the fastest way of converting your 240sx's eyes to sleepy mode. This information was posted before by King_Me. Good luck!

What you need:. 16 or 18 gauge Wire. 30Amp toggle switch or button. (2)Male and (5)Female blade connectors. 5amp fuse. Wire cutters. Pliers

1. Disconnect the battery

2. Remove the headlight motor control button (big button on the left side of the dash that makes the head lights go up and down) You should be able to pull and wiggle it out, but be careful

3. Locate and cut the brown wire, and cap each end with electrical tape or actual wire caps. Then reinstall the button.

4. Remove the access panel to the fuse box located on the driver side floor, and pull the fuse marked “light control”, it should be the 5amp .

5. Connect 2 female blade connectors to the prongs on the 5amp fuse. On one connector, crimp a piece of wire 2inches long. On the other, you’ll be connecting a piece of wire long enough to reach from the fuse box to the location of your switch.

6. Crimp on a Male blade connector to end of the 2” piece of wire, and a Female connector to the end of the longer wire that will be going to the switch.

7. Using a piece of wire the length of your other wire that goes to the switch, crimp on a Male blade connector on one end and a Female blade connector on the other.

8. Now its time to connect every thing. Get the wire with the fuse connected to it and plug in the Male connector into the fuse box in the slot on the right where the fuse used to be, and the Female blade connector goes to the “load” prong on the switch.Get the other length of wire, and install the Male blade connector in the left slot where the fuse used to be, and the Female blade connector goes to the “supply” prong on the switch. should look like this.

9. Find somewhere to mount the switch. I put mine to the right of the steering wheel where there is a little switch adapter.

All in all this took about 15 minutes total. I just sat in front of initial D while i did the wiring, then just went to plug it in. This is the finished product!
