I sort of felt the same. I also just wanted a solid light look, not a bunch of little LED's. Personal taste of course.

Plus, I don't want mine as a fog light or a back up flasher. I just want to hook mine up as a 2nd (or 4th depending on how you look at it) brake only light. I'm planning to tint all my taillights, and another brake only light will help add a little more oomph to the back. I've read the OEM is really bright, so I'm hoping that means it's "brake light" bright, but we'll see.

I THINK my set up should be easy. If I remember from the thread I read about 4 months ago, all I do is tap into the green brake wire and I'm good to go, done. Getting the old non-light off is the hard part I guess, with all the loc-tite on it.

Everyone have their own taste. But at this great quality and price you cann't beat it! This price is only offer in this forum. no where else.

yah ,the amount of work needed to install that one silly light, i wanted to be done right and be done with for good. (dont want to worry about burnt out LED's and PCB's).

Damn I don't know what to do. So I'm seeing that the EvoR is complicated to wre up and the Jdm should be easier as it is an Oem product. Is wiring the EvoR really that much harder vs. The Jdm? I'm know that you can have the light flash when braking or reversing but can the light be able to flash while driving F1 style and then control by switch?

JDM Light: 2 wires
EVOR Light: 3 wires

If you DON'T want the EVOR light to blink, then there are only 2 wires.

It's HOW you want the EVOR light to work that is the only difference. If you want it in setup A you tap to the X and Y Wire. If you want Setup B then you tap into the X and Z wire. It's not hard I promise you. I did it in my parking spot at 10pm. Took a half hour. Hardest part was getting the rear lamp off to tap into the wires... (This was before I found out you could make the taps inside the trunk.

)

Can the EvoR come on with the parking lights and then come on brighter with the brake lights and not blink? I don't want it to flash just bright steady driving/brighter brakes.

Just wanted to add something to this. Check out what I found looking through the Nissan Motorsports catalog:
PN: 25560-1EP0B
Description: Stalk assembly for JDM rear fog light.
Price: ~$125
Designed for a JDM Right hand drive, but can work on a US Spec car. The only thing is it will be reversed.

lake show if you are close to my house, Id glady install your evo R light for you... its simple...

if you want a switch you can pre run a wire from a switch you mount, to your trunk and that can be hooked up at the same time...

I've driven in Japan so it does take a little getting use to when the turn signal is on the wrong side of the wheel.

If you or someone can locate me to a cheaper switch on a website or somewhere I can purchase it, it would really help me because I cannot find it.

Hey LakeShow,
were you able to find that cheaper switch you were looking for?

A picture comparison on the brightness output of the jdm and evor light would be great
