They are not hard to find or expensive. I imported the set myself then later found out my local Nissan dealer has them for 40 each. LoL I still want to have them on the car thou just cant seem to find a reliable shop for the install.

Oh I know they're not. They actually come out to under $50 for the pair from both Nissan or Infiniti. Next time I'm at the dealer I will pick them up.

Have you thought of a way to install them already . The easiest way i can think off is just tapping them to the headlight signals but then they would light up inconsistently with the signals hummm

You'd have to tap into the headlight turn signals, but if I'm not mistaking they actually have a relay that has to be installed to work properly. I have the DIY somewhere in a old laptop, I just have to search for it.

did they come with the connectors? I'm thinking about a set as well though I'm concerned it may be too much with the signals in the mirror covers as well.

The amount of additional wiring seems like it should be negligible but, as with everything Nissan, they have surprises in store for us. I've purchased three additional wiring kits for the folding mirror / winker mod so far. Should be interesting.

You going to use the M side markers or the G JDM markers? I found some off a Jeep that were interesting but... Racecar

Yea I think since you'll have the winkers it might be turn signal overkill on your car. I am more then likely going to go with the M side markers. I'm deciding between these two, but leaning more towards the thinner profile ones. I think it'll flow better with the car.

Hey Pledes23. I'm surprised I haven't seen your build thread till just now. I gotta say..."Red Widow" is a freakin sweet name for your car. I dig it Sir. She is looking very fine as well. Red is a great looking color on a sedan. I'm loving the front bumper as well. Nice

The smaller one is for both the JDM skyline and fuga. That is the one I have. They dont come with any connector but you can source them out on your own. My friend told me Nissan has only been using two types of fender lamp connector since the 90s.

I think it might be abit overkill to have 4 different sources of turn signal on the car at one. This is how I saw Nissan drivers in Japan do when they op for the optional mirror winker, they wire the fender lamps as driving lights (always on)
