Post subject: | -Clear Turn Signal Mod- 3rd Gen CSM |
Hello everyone, this is my first contribution to 4g61t.org. Hope someone out there besides me likes this look. Before: After: Using These: So you'll be getting new housings and can always go back to your old ones, I checked and you can't just switch the clear with the orange plastic, you have to switch the whole assembly. Cost: $24.99 Materials Needed: Wire Stripper, 2 Feet of Electrical Tape, Phillips Screwdriver Parts Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/87-96-PI ... ccessories (I bought mine from this seller) Step 1: Remove old signals with phillips screwdriver, there are 2 screws on the front of the amber lenses. Step 2: Cut before the harness that plugs into the housing, I left 2 inches of slack in case I decided to switch back. Step 3: Strip wires on car end and new housing end, connect both black wires, than connect the green wire (IIRC) with the other color from car. There are only 2 wires associated with the signals, per side. Step 4: Wedge New Housing Into the bumper. I wedged mine in, I've been driving for years and they havent budged. The act of wedging will not damage paint on bumper. I am almost 100% sure it comes with bulbs, if not, go to o'reilly/autozone look up front signal bulbs for a 87-96 Nissan D21 pickup. cost shouldnt be more than $4. If This is in the wrong spot please move me to the right spot. Thanks Everyone!! |

Yea as long as the bulb flashes yellow than its good. Unless its different from state to state. I don't thing it is tho. |

So the original mounting holes don't work? Wouldn't the entire thing vibrate out over time,from road bumps,pot holes etc? I do like the look alot.

I over-looked that step when reading through it myself.... If the factory holes wouldn't work it wouldn't be hard to make new holes. |

I've been running the reverse lamp lenses up front for several years. Of course, I have no idea if they fit in the stock bumper. |

Like I said, they wedge in there and literally have not moved in over 2 years. one could take a strip of sheet metal 1"x4" and make a backing for it. But it literally is a perfect fit. I just ordered a new pair for my '92 summit I bought last weekend. I'll maybe edit the write-up with more pictures and some sort of retaining bracket. |
