I have a 92 240sx with a sr20det swap. I have a S13 front end conversion with a GP sports G-4 body kit on. The kit does not reuse the stock blinkers on the bumper. So I went and purchased the correct lights, now my problem is I can't find the wiring for the bumper lights anywhere. I have taken a multimeter to many of the wires under the hood trying to find the right wire. Can somebody please point me in the right direction. Refer to the attachment for a picture.

You are looking for a set of connectors that have 3 wires running to each of them. the colors should be Black (Ground), Red w/ Blue Stripe (illumination), and Green w/ Black or Yellow Stripe depending on the side (turn signal).

It should either look like this or should look like the opposite connector to this plug.

OK, I have those connected to the side blinkers on the headlight assembly. Did I get them backwards? What do both sets of blinker harnesses look like? Or do I need to splice both of them onto the same harness and if I do that will it still have the quick blinking signal?

The amber lights on the Silvia bumper below the headlights are probably parking lights only.

Its purely up to you what you want the light to be used for. If you want them to just be parking lights then splice the red/blue wire and a ground to the lights. Otherwise you can use them as turn signals using the other wires.

If you signals are blinking quickly it is possible that one of your signal bulbs is burnt out.

Aright, I didn't think about that. I'll try and switch them around. I'm pretty sure my bulbs are still good, I checked them a week back. Thx for the help.

Sorry about bringing this back from the dead but on my bumper lights my plugs are for only two wires. How do I splice the 3 wires into the two wire connector? I am guess the green and black stripe wire is the blinker signal?
