JDM wiring...
We all know 'extra' wiring is never Japan's strong point. This whole weekend I've spent re-wiring the front end of the car. In Japan, sometimes they disconnect the sidelights and replace them with front indicators only, usually on Aero kitted cars. So everything was fine on the indicator front, but having no sidelights is a little different over here, slightly illegal haha. So I set about finding the problem now since the bumper is off to paint. After some searching and testing, luckily the sidelight wiring was still there, just not completly cut away! So I had to rewire all the indicators and make some custom bulb holders for the front sidelights. After a quick test and refitting the correct bulbs, thankfully all worked well. So then a quick solder, and well wrapped wires with insulating tape all is good now! Also installed the HID headlights which are a great job! Just waiting my new front bumper now to fit the front sidelight lense and indicator, for a more 'legal' drive. No photos just yet, but soon...
