Carbon Signal DRL nismo
Hi Guys,
Have tried searching.... I almost have all my parts for my nismo conversion. I have the carbon signal leds and im wondering the best way to wire them. I dont want to use the factory harness as I want them on all the time. Should i connect to the spare slot in the fuse box in the engine bay? I connected them straight to the battery to test them when i got them and they got really hot for some reason. Any ideas? Cheers |

my CS DRL came int today as well, I searched for a guide but it doesn't seem that anyone has walked through how to wire the new DRL to replace the old DRL.
if I'm wrong, can someone direct me to the guide? (or walk me through what I'll have to wire?) moving from the 16' bumper to the 16' nismo, so I figure there would already be a power source running to them? and I just splice into that. thanks! |

My car is at the panel beater now. The auto electrician is wiring my cs DRLS to the spare slot in the IPDM like below.
DRL on with headlights MOD Thanks |

Can't you just remove the connector from the OEM DRLs and attach it on the CS DRLs?

I tried to hook them up to the parking lights and the old DRL harness. I get nothing. I even checked the fuse for the DRLs and it's fine. I'm at a real loss here.

I have tried plugging into the parking light and the DRL harness. I've tried tapping in behind the DRL harness and tapping inot the parking light harness before entering the headlamp assembly. (Blue and black wires)
I have tried both side of the car. Not a single one lights up. I have checked them on my amp for my subwoofer and they light up. I feel I'm beginning to lose my mind. The unfortunate part is that I do not have a voltmeter at the moment. So, I'm kind of trying things blind. |
