Using R33 Side Lights As Indicators

[rnbguy]

hi guys,

im personally not into fog lights being used as indicators , seems abit early 90s to me that is....

so ive re-wired my front side lights (first stage low beam i think their refered to as)

now i just need to figure out what the wattage difference is as they seem to blink fast now , im guessing due to the light not being the right wattage?? i could be wrong.

search "indicator".. that is all

[rnbguy]

meh

lol these fools waste there time saying search this when they could just link or answer the question in the same time spent..

anyways a mates having the same problem blinkers flashing fast and wouldnt mind it fixed...

Or maybe search "indicator" and you will find your answer, i would not have a clue how to insert a link so if someone says search something and gives you a reference use it. Don't be a nob.

search pulled up nothing mate and who has time to go threw 50 topics with the word indicator in them..obviously if the person says search he or she knows were the answer lies so why not just post it up...

instead of being "a nob"

inserting a link is as easy as cutting it from the url bar in your browser and pasting it in your reply..

Good on you man for helping the guy asking the question out.

i put 12's in mine and it stopped it

im sure the fast blinking is caused by the relay seing incorrect wattage consumption, the question is, what is the correct wattage consumption for each bulb... i think it may be easier to call repco and pretend ur buying bulbs for your skyline (rather then trying to find the answer on here as seen above)

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

or you could just use 21w bulbs like i said works

x2. They have big buggers in there. Had the same problem.

Is it possible you could make a thread for DIY side indicators on the R33 i would love to do the same thing.. Thanks

you can wire in resisters or another set of globes in line, hidden in the car to fix the correct watt level.

I can't remember which way I went as I did this mod in 2002 or 2003. fixed my fast blinking problem for my parker light indercator swap!

i tried resistors and had no luck...

as for tutorial....

- get indicator wires - cut

- get parker wires - cut

- thread indicator wires through to parker wire place

- splice indicator wires onto parker globes and insulate

- put in 21w globes with orange sleeves/dye

- done

i'll post up the globe numbers to use next time i'm at autobarn... threw the packets away
