I'm in dire need of help, I'm kinda slow about cars, but i wanna do it my self ya know? i know it's not a hard mod or anything, but all my wires are loomed and i don't know what goes where. and i don't wanna spend 15 bux on a hayes or chilton's...yet. Sorry for beiung ignorant, but you gotta start somewhere.

 

on my nozzle set the white wire goes to the battery positive and the black goes to any ground or thru that switch to a ground..it aint that hard..use pliars to get out the old nozzles

 

I never thought i'd see people having problems installing something like this, with two simple wires.

You can't just put the power wire to the battery, if you do that you'll have them on all the time.

What you do is wire them to your headlight or your parking lights so they only come on when you turn those lights. Splice the wires..

thats all...

If you still can't figure it out..just leave it alone...

 

Hey man, there's no need to fawkin slam me about it, the problem i have, is that i can't fawkin get to the damn head light wiring enough to strip it. No need to be a *****.

 

how to install washer nozzle LEDs.


1. pour two cups water into a pan, and place on burner.
2. turn burner to hi.
3. add a small amount of salt and butter and bring to boil
4. when boiling, add contents of box, gently stir then remove from heat.
5. Cover for five minutes.
6. remove cover, fluff with fork, and serve.

 

 

Yeah but without them how will anybody know your down with the scene?

 

Considers himself to be ignorant, buys LED nozzles instead of a chilton's manual for his car, and I'm wondering why he's getting upset on a simple question that he/she could have easily solved him/herself.....I suggest you take it to a performance shop and let a professional install em!!

 

LED nozzles? why, young maxima owner, why?? spend your hard earned green on a POP charger or new springs... please stay away from any lights that don't actually help you see better. i see this stuff on civics and accords in Green Bay, WI where the roads are only suitable for "the scene" for about a month if you catch a good summer, and it makes me laugh every time. last time i saw one of those accords with LED nozzles, i did a full burnout start from the light and still beat him. it's like a sign that says "i'm slow, come prey on me" then again, if you want to look like a christmas tree, your choice.

 

Well what you do with your money is up to you, but you should really get the manual, it will help alot to find the head light wires and any problems you have , also with maintance and care..

Ok as for the nozzle jut run one of the nozzle to each head light... for instance right nozzle to the right head or corner light and vice versa on the left.. its best if you put them on your parking(corner lights).. splicing is very easy just cut and attach... If you have your corners rewire you know how easy it is to splice. Just connect the positve wire to the positive wire on the corner light wire and the negative wire to the negative( or ground wire) of the corner light.. btw you dont have to but i suggest you disconnect the battery.just in case safe side. I have not installed nozzles before but this is what i would do. Becarefull that you dont get pulled over for blue or red nozzles as they are for fire and police officals..Here is a link to the corner rewire site of craig b, one of many maxima.org member who takes their time to teach and help everyone do simple and sometimes with worth mode.. Hope this helps.. Please feel free to e-mail. crazyizzy@yahoo.com

BTW guys.. Yes it is a simple question but we keep forgeting that we were once newbees, and some of us dont have or was burn with auto experience.
3rdGenMax_621- yes the name calling was uncalled for, but dont contribute even though you want to. people have been on this forum for a while you'll understand how it is once you get enough experience.. And btw you wont be the last person with a question not matter how easy it is. Enjoy your nozzle with caution...here is the website take a look click on how to's... thanks Craig B for the writeups and time

look at the wires to use and do the rewire mod while your at it click here...

 

I have a question about how to get better performance from my stock nozzles. They dont cover the windshield fully...is there a way to clean them? (did I actually say better performance from my nozzles?)

 

go to a junkyard and get a set of nozzles with two holes in them for better 'performance'....and yeah i had red nozzles and i got pulled over..80$ fine and its a summons..not a pay by mail ticket. and crap..i went to a junkyard tho and got a set of old nozzles and a receipt for them so im gunna try to plead not guilty and pretend i was stupid

 

My question was to see if i could make them better. If I go to the junkyard I could be buying something that works worse than mine already.

 

I was looking up the laws teh other day, in most states, as long as they don't blink, they're legal, if they blink, THAT'S when they can give you a ticket.
Go to teh DOT web site, or the local DMV and pickup literature on it.
But only present it if it supports my claim
Then you can press charges against the cop!

 

And don't forget the gravy

 

you DO NOT cut a wire if you intend to splice into it. you turned a decent connection into a horrible connection when you cut it.

use the proper equipment when working on your car. none of this "jerry rigged" bs connections. you probably want him to strip the wires and twist them together and wrap it w/ electrical tape..right? this leads to water getting on connection...higher resistance in the wiring..etc etc.

you wonder why so many people have electrical problems..it's all due to poor installations.

 

that is what i meant.. splice.... i retract the word "cut"... Excuse me, i was sleepy at the time..

 

umm u sure about that? the word splice doesn't fit in that senteance.

how would you suggest this guy "splice" his connections?

 

Damn dan....dem chilly peppers makin you fart flames man.

 

sorry...the BS-O-Meter is through the roof lately around here.

 

I looked up the laws, too. And I can certainly verify this one (thanks to a GF that's a state trooper ) since I've got the LED nozzles, too. I kept hearing about how people were being pulled over for having them, so I asked her. She looked the statute up, as far as the state I'm in (ND), as well as the neighboring states (MN, WI, and SD).

It's my understanding that there are only 1 or 2 Eastern states {don't ask me WHICH ones - what do I look like, F. Lee Bailey? } that are really strict on aftermarket lighting on motor vehicles.

And that's just MY $0.02 worth!

 

True the actual LEDs may be legal but there are other factors. If an accident was caused, the insurance company could say they where a distracting factor. And like it or not as much as I hate to say this i can promise you if I was driving 35 in a 25 and you where going the exact same speed in the next lane over (side by side) AND YOU HAD WASHER LEDs......who do you think a cop is going to pull over?

 

which lights does that apply to??? are you talking about washer lights only??

 

......connected my power lines to the corner lights..clean and simple

 

So you did "attach" spliced or diced whatever.. but its basically the same as i mentioned is it

 

..spliced the corner light wires (12v), connected the leds (right led to right corner, left to left) and the groud wire i completely cut off untill about 2 inches or so and soldered em to the hood..even more clean and simple

 

I try to help people and i get flammed for a word.? Ok now that i have been proven that i had a legit write up.. does anyone disagree>?

 

flame? where?
seriously..do you know how to splice into a wire? i asked a reasonable questions with nothing as a response from you but a whine about me flaming you. you first told him to cut the wire..ok fair enough it was 3am and you were sleepy..so you said to splice the wire. fine...HOW do "you" splice a wire then? you never answered that. it's not a flame..if you speak like you know what you're doing then please enlighten us with your wealth of knowledge.
if you don't know how to splice a wire then say so..don't act like you know it all..because no one knows it all.
don't take it as a flame..don't feel that i'm picking on you...if you're around enough you're bound to have me bust on you.

 

And it seems logical to make the washers light up.. Wel from what ever knowledge i got from the forum is what i type inthe instructions. As i did with the word "splice" where i have seen when max420 did the rewire for the corners.. cut / splice.. there may be a difference.. all of which imho means that you take one wire and cut the outer pastics cover and attach the wire to the open wire. but i was just making a generalization. You made it a big deal with splicing which you had the right to meantion. I have not installed nozzle lights but that is was i would have done if i was faced with installing one. but i thank you for clearing up that you werent flamming me, just b/c of a word... All i wanted was to help a fellow org member as i have been helped when i had problems, and hope to find help for future problems that my arise. if this is what you want to hear then by all means i am saying it.. i dont know all the answers but i sure will try to help by all mean neccesary. just like i have spent 1+ hour helping a fellow member look for answer for his se 92 that is having trouble via msn instant messenger...http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....6&goto=newpost. I am sorry that my contribution is not worthy of being "enlighten"
