I'm doing this mod tomorrow but I dont have the black housing (had my bumper replaced) so I will use some epoxy to glue it from the inside. :ugh2:

Will try this wiring:

-ON with parking light
-Flash with brake light
-Flash with reverse (using a diode to not activate brake light when reverse is on, viceversa)
-Separate switch for constant ON
-Flash when door is open (not sure about this one)

Just got mine installed with the fog light button sitting between the heat seat buttons. The button turns the light on and off and flash when I hit the brake. Looks great.

Has anyone encountered problems with their annual state inspections, specifically Texas with the EVO light set to flash?

i want one

This is the same setup that I want on my Z.

Do you know if I can set it up w/ the switch to turn off all the time?

Ideal Setup: Switch overrides all connections, I tell it when I want it on. Fog light only works when I press brakes (flash) and Reverse(flash).

I am assuming this setup would make it possible, basically I do not want it on all the time, only when I really need it, like on foggy days :) and in reverse.

where did u have it done?

Total Image Auto Sport in Pittsburgh! PA. They do a bunch of Steelers and Penguins car/ trucks too.

How long does installing this light take ?

Nice install

I'm curiuos how this install worked out for you.

I think it would be the perfect setup if the fog light could be dimly lit and get bright when brakes are used while at the same time be configured to blink when in reverse but nobody has been able to answer the question of HOW. :ugh2:

Dave:

First off, thanks for posting an incredibly detailed DIY! :tup:

I'm a complete newb when it comes to electrical work, but I think I can pull this one off. All I want to do is hook up the EVO light so that it flashes in reverse and stays on constantly with the brakes. By identifying the relevant wires in your write-up, that makes things very easy.

Okay, here are the embarrassing questions - when you tapped into the orange wire, you used a pink connector.

What kind was it?

What wire is it rated for?

Exactly how does it work? Does it clamp on the orange wire and then you just feed the EVO lead into it?

I've seen T-splice connectors; would you recommend one of those?

Again, I've got no experience tapping into a car's electrical system, so these questions probably sound ridiculous.

Thanks in advance.

My EVO-R light has LEDs out. :shakes head: Flash with brake and on when lights are on. Disappointed.... Wonder if there is any sort of warranty on getting a replacement. Ordered trough Welcome To The Z Store! Nissan-Datsun 240Z-260Z-280Z-280ZX-300ZX(Z31/Z32)-350Z-370Z Parts! and the car barely gets any use.

Did you contact the Z Store?

I have been swamped at work since I just got back from vacation but I am going to. I have to dig up my invoice in my car paperwork. Good thing I keep every little receipt. I would hope I can get a replacement considering the price on these things. If not I’ll be going to an OEM fog I suppose.

yes, we give warranty on them. email me vido of the problem at jay@evo-r.net I'll get you a replacement.
