After visiting a Max site today, I started think. Hmmmm..., how about if the two front corner & signal lights stayed on whenever the car was running. And hmmmm...., what if the lights would alternate when the turn signal was on. Meaning that a left turn signal would alternate between the corner and the signal lights on the left side. Is this possible? Am I going too far?

 

Check out my .sig below

Hey Brockster take a look website http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~cchiu1/home.html
The have a how 2 section. I have done it. When my lights are off my blinkers and the corner light turn on at the same time. When my lights are on, the blinker and the corner light alternate.

 

yes it is. best 10 min free mod Ive ever done

 

You guys, always a step ahead. Thanks, I'll have to try the "How 2" from your site

 

here u go:

i dunno how to deal with electrical wires...i've never tried actaully. can anyone give me a few good tips and details when i do this mod? thanks

 

ok, once you take out both lense. you will see 2 wires connected to each bulb socket. (1)cut the black wire in half from the side marker. (2) splice(connect) a new wire from the green wire from the blinker and connect that to the cut black wire to the side marker light. thats it, re install the lense and repeate other side.

just look here it couldnt get any simpler:

Nismo, will using your "How 2" method also allow the side and signal lights to stay on when the car is running?

 

I feel kind of dumb but.... do I have to cut the green wire from the blinker to connect it to the on coming from the side marker?

Thanks

 

Check out my .sig below
i looked in ur pages and i was wondering does it require a new bulb or can u use the stock bulb that the car comes with?

 

Well, there are several mods there in the .sig, so:

Fogs come on with park lights or high beams

No, no new bulb needed.

Front markers (down on the bumper, on the sides)blink
http://www.geocities.com/amixam69/nissan/markerblink/

No new bulbs here.

Make front blinkers (bumper, on the front) stay on
http://csc.smsu.edu/~jack/max/blinkermod.html

Yes, this requires new bulbs, like it says on the webpage. They are 1157s. Required since you are converting a single element bulb and socket to a dual element bulb and socket.

but i was wondering if the markers need new bulbs so they alternate when they blink...can i just use any wire or i have to go to pep boys and get some?

 

For the sidemarker mod? (I have yet to know what mod we're talking about)

For the sidemarker mod, no, no new bulb needed. See, you are taking your old ground wire for it and running it to the HOT wire for the front turn signals. So when the front signal light is ON, your side marker goes OUT (see you have 12V on the positive side and 12V on the negative side, thats why)

The blinking is all done via the 'new ground' you make when you move it.

Jack

 

cut the ground from the corner lamp and splice that into the + from the blinker. Is that right?

 

ok, i am seeing 3 wires into the corner lamp, is that right or am i looking in the wrong place? any help would be appreciated.

 

that was the problem, the sidemarker and the corner lamp are different. So the blinker and the sidemarker are right next to eachother huh.... ok, well is there anyway to get the blinker AND the cornerlamp to flash?

 

Yes, that is correct.

Jack

 

Yeah, it helps to agree on terms! So we all know what light we're talking about.

Make the corners blink too? Hmmm, not tried that. I'd be careful, the bright side of the corner is like 27W, you add the 27 of the front light and you have double the current, then w/o any new heavier harness, you'll have blown fuses.

There's no fast/simple/cheap way to light the corners too that I can see.

Does this work for all 4th Generations MAX cuz I have a 99MAX.
