Yoshi's Ichi-Go Install...

Ok, I've got all my lights wired up EXCEPT for the turn signals.. .I'm just lost on those, can anyone help?

the turn signals are pretty much straight forward. they share a ground with the parking bulbs and the connector on the headlight itself is a 3 pin. what you will need to do is cut the turn signal harness on your car (for the front turns, not for the side ones) and use spade connectors to connect them to the actual connectors on the headlights. if you follow the wires from the turn signal's bulb you will be able to tell which pin on the connector to hook it up to. of course you will need to wrap any exposed wires in electrical tape, etc. if/when you hook up your sidemarkers, then you will use the side turn signals for those.

hope that helps.

I'll get pix up later, but what you're saying is actually exactly what I've done... I only have 2 wires left, I thought, "well by process of elimination, obviously these go together" apparently not. I have the city lights and blinkers sharing a ground, same harness and all, should've been straight forward but no.

I even wired the blinkers to the city lights to make sure the bulbs worked, and sure enough, they're just fine, they just won't BLINK! I'll try to get some pix of the actual wiring tonight.

might be dumb, but I ran into the same EXACT problem. Try this:
put key in igntion, turn to on position, the try the signals. not trying to flame, but i was scratching my head trying to figure out why not...then i turned the key and sure enough they worked. :hammer: :hammer:

Hi Joe. I dont like the gap in the middle of your front bumper. Can we fix that this weekend so your car will finally be sexy until you go to altamont.

Kidding. but you better be out there. im bringing a bbq, and some steak for you. you bring the seasoning.

OMG. I can't believe you said that... I could've sworn that I did all testing with the accessories on, but now i'm starting to 2nd guess myself, cuz my stereo didn't light up when i was testing, which means the key was in but not turned. HAHHAHAA! I sincerely hope that's the issue and I'm just stupid, otherwise, you should see the crazy stuff that some of the engineers I work with were coming up with...

Anyone know if the signals on s13s work w/o the key turned... I'm thinking no.
I'll post back after lunch... probably feeling pretty dumb hahaha!

okay so Joe is an arse... wait no... that's right it's ME that's the arse!

During the wiring, I tested each light as I went, which meant battery on/off, accessory switch on/off for each of the 8 lights. I did the blinkers last, at about 1am. Not that I'm making excuses, i'm still an idiot for not noticing hahaha!

So yay! fully functional lights! Wiring diagram and pix in the next update.

haha, i knew it
