I have the clear corners fitted, and I want to move the side light from the fogs, I take it the standard jap sidelight wont fit straight in and need to get some holders and splice into the existing wiring, what type of holders do I get and where from?

 

Cheers

I have done this, but my clear corners are genuine OEM units from Z1, so they have a free bulb holder available in a seperate section. These bulbs were corner lights that lit up solid when the indicators are on (a Jap spec feature), but I have used them for my sidelights. I cut the wires, soldered, heat shrinked & wrapped the new connections.

I also fitted 21w bulbs to them, I know, should be 5w, but it makes a huge difference and nobody has flashed or pull me & it passed its MOT.

Looks much better for some reason. Gives the car a wider stance at night & looks more modern.

These have a hole for a sidelight to the rear, but no holders.

USA spec corners will have the sidelight fitting built in mate.

 

I bought a set of "clear" corners a few years ago from this guy - e-mail him; his name is Claude. he was recommended to me by SMW1....

Is this hole the same as the indicator hole? -Can you put the indicator bulb holder straight in that section? If so you just need to ring up a breaker and get a pair of indicator bulb holders from a knackered pair of corners. Should only cost a few quid.

My clear corners were from the USA (Z1), but were clearly marked JDM spec and my original orange Jap spec corners also had the extra bulb holder fitted. Series 2 car.

No its smaller, they are crystal corner ones I think they are normally refered to, prob best to just measure it and pop down the breakers and connect to the existing.

Take a corner unit with you and find a bulb holder to fit on site.

Ive got my side lights now in the indicators, just took apart the fog to remove the holder, seem to remember just needed to cut the hole to fit the holder on the indicators, then solder a bit extra length of wire to existing.

Now when i turn on the lights the sides look further apart at night, give it a wider stance.

Easy to do.......

Just get series 2 indicator lenses. Job jobbed!

How much are these new and where from, you still have detango these though ?

My clear corners are Nismo spec OEM units, got from the US (Z1)

No you don't have to de-tango these - they are clear, but not crystal type.

Cost $126

Note, these are NOT 99spec indicators which will NOT fit the early type bumper.

New? Christ, erm, dunno. Jeff has some I think....and yes, you still have to de-tango them.

First bit is correct, the second bit isn't!

Are you saying the 99 spec corners will fit the early bumper - without modification?

No, you put up a link to early style indicators stating that they were not 99 spec and that they wouldn't fit an early bumper. Correct, they are not 99-spec, but they are for the early bumper!

Yes you're right, I got my words wrong, but meant the 99 spec lights will NOT fit the early bumper as I'd noticed BeerMonster had put out a wanted in the traders section for 99spec corners & thought he might of assumed that the only difference was the clear part.

Trying to help:)

Thought something was amiss! lol :)

I got that wrong as well....it was Douglas200 looking for 99spec!

I'll shut up now.....:(

:rofl: it's only Tuesday mate!

Well my thoughts were to go with the crystal corners (now fitted with silver orange bulbs) move the sidelights to the corners and ditch the nasty fogs for some vents, and get some led sides that match the HIDs i intend to get, then its 99 spec rears when funds allow.

Nooooooooo don't do those! They don't match the fog lights!

Ha ha your at it as well, it says in my post "i'm ditching the fogs for vents"
