Chuki 180sx Front bumper lights configuration..

[HyperTek]

Ok I just picked some up. Was wondering how they light up on an actual 180, as in what is the lighting sequence for the clear part and orange part? Is the clear part suppose to be the driving light (always on) and the orange part suppose to be the turn signal?

Since I got teh plugs for both sides, I want to wire it up correctly like it would be on a JDM model. Not just the orange light up.

So Im guessing to just wire up the clear part to the side marker so its always on?

clear part is always on and amber blinks

[HyperTek]

dont mean to be picky, but would Amber be on while its not blinking?? So I can just tap into the side marker and make the clear always on.

[DRFT]

not sure about wiring but im sure lots of people here has done it

i believe the amber part is not lit, it will blink when you hit the signal

[Dutchmalmiss]

it's not dimly lit when the headlights are turned on? cuz im gonna get some zenki ones too, and i was gonna ask the same questions as hypertek

[HyperTek]

Yah I dunno how youd go about only having it blink, unless you ghetto mode it and remove one of the tabs that dimly lights it so it doesnt come on dim, and just wire up the clear side to teh sidemarker, but then again, that might make your blinkers fast, which im not soo much a fan of, its annoying.

Ok, how about on the original harness, find the wire that is constant on for the parking lights, cut that, use that as positive for the clear side, and run the negative side of teh bulb to the chassis. Would that work?

wait...whats a chuki?

[epoxy_nc]

post some pics.. i want to see these things

[Got Sileighty?]

chuki = 91-94 240sx

i just picked up a pair of these lights too, but i thought they were straight up plug and play?? at least thats what i found when i searched here....

Uhh you are supposed to get the harness, its like less than foot long. Plugs into your main harness, but splits in two on the other end. Then its plug and play.

The white part is on when you turn the headlight switch once (like when the old amber ones are on). It is not on all the time, the amber part only is on when indicating.

I have the zenki ones, came with the harness no work at all.

Cool, I just did it. You will need the plug for the clear side, since the USDM amber light is duel filiment, the JDM uses 2 seperate single filiment bulbs, Just cut the green (not green and yellow wire) and connect one of the wires from teh clear side to it, then tape the black negative wire.

i thought it was kouki is later and zenki is older....thats what we call it in japan

[Dutchmalmiss]

you are correct, and chuki means middle or something like that.

[Got Sileighty?]

i need a harness that splits into two? hmmm never read about that before. plus i only see one plug on the signal lights themselves, its located right in the middle of the unit.

[mistaanime]

all i did wit mine was splice the orginal wires to the harness that came wit the chuki corners..

[HyperTek]

yah, but JDM 180sx only has the clears come on as parking lights, while the orange only comes on to blink, not both all the time.. but bah //.
