View Full Version : tail light assembly relay pics may load slow for some

Picture in shop manual doesnt match box cover
Hello i am hoping some here can clear this up for me.

I instaled some led tail lights and they came with a relay.
I didnt use the included relay and all was well for a hour or so but now strange things are happening.Now i am going to use it

I have searched and downloaded the shop manual; found the location i think

my question is ,, in the manual they say the relay is in the box near the air filter,, but when i look at the cover of the box is has differnt discriptions for the relays located there there than in the service manual. its a 89shoc


should i just go with the picture on the box,, or the manual, or What i was thinking just swap the relay and see what happens ??

Im open to any related help or ideas
idrive240

the led tails came with a 90degree piece of metal some doubble sidded tape and the relay.

i know you have 3 posts.. and i'll try to be as nice as possible.. but god, those taillamps really make me want to throw-up. they're so gaudy.

the parking lamp circuit, brake lamp circuit, and signal circuits do not have a RELAY.

the signal circuit DOES have a 3 wire flasher, which is most likely what that black box is.. its a flash module.

the flasher module is located underneeth your steering column, you'll hear it click when you turn the signals on. be sure to have extra fuses when fucking with this crap, because you'll most likely need them.

good luck

ps: god those taillamps are ugly (sorry man)

too bad you no longer sell the half red/clear hatchback tail lights anymore. :cry: I've always wanted a set and was finally ready to purchase them when I found out you don't make them anymore...

Tint the lights all red. Then it makes them not so gay.

Yeah, its all LED nowadays. Which means, the 96-98 tail lights.. obviously are, FOR THE WIN.

The other taillamps arent so bad, but I just cant imagine anyone really spending 1000-1500 to have them built up and converted to LED. I mean, if you're into that.. we'll fab it. But realistically, I cant imagine anyone dumping that kinda coin.. when you can have 96-98 SEXINESS.

Really, the twin ring taillamps.. PURE BLISS. None of that bullshit e-bay crap compares........... obviously.

hahahahahah you really thought some rare nismo lights would be sold on ebay through some guy in australia ?

99.9% of the " nismo " parts on ebay are fakes.

So you believe everything you read then, interesting. I wrote down on a piece of paper that you're a troll trying to sell off used ghey shit on the wrong forum, in the wrong section. Wait, that's right, nevermind. You're not an idiot for believing the ad, you're just an idiot period. Believing the ad only makes it more clear to the rest of us, especially when you paid 4x what anyone else pays for the same dumb shit.

Zilvia.net, where all the poker players come to buy stuff.

Just keep them and tint them red man.

Just because people hate it...dosnt mean you should listin and do what they say.

The lights are gay, dont get my wrong, and you are not the smartest persion thinking nismo makes shit like that.

But..keep them and tint them all red. Ive seen em tinted and they look badass.

thats a fair response emersonLP (http://www.zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=47628)
all i can say is "live and learn"
cant trust eBay stuff or people you don't know ',,
I'm big enough to admit "i got scammed"
If i posted in the wrong area i apologize,,was not on purpose
it wont happen twice

and the email saying i should die seems a little far???? no??
die really ?? I've upset someone that much??? come on thats crazy
mods should look in my inbox

But i got some time so let me rant for a while

obviously i don't"believe everything i read" i trusted in ebays system of feedback and security etc.

not everybody is knowledgeable and up to date on what is or what isn't nismo,,i just wanted some cool lights and went with the item description and assumed that if he is on eBay he must be legit.Obvoiusly i made the wrong assumption and as i stated above I'm big enough to admit i got scammed

for example
i know allot of Montreal telemarketers who daily scam people out of their money,,its legal and they don't lie,just mislead you,,but its still wrong.

They even tape the call so when you try to get your money back they laugh.Not even your credit card company can help you.

wrong is wrong and a lie is a lie,,how can he possibly defend they guy who sold them to me??,,It seems to me as if he is saying the same thing as the telemarketers,,"you fell for it and its your problemm"

it doest justify taking a persons cash and making false claims, besides being illegal


just because a consumer is uniformed doesn't mean they deserve , or give someone the right to scam them.

The average Montreal telemarketers defense is this; "if you are stupid enough or greedy enough to fall for "the pitch" then you deserve be scammed."

(the pitch is the book/script they read from. They sell pens,oil,art.stock,vacations,Ramadaplaza etc.)

I disagree and i always will


and then secondly he states that i am an idiot,,,strange i don't remember meeting him,,,hes basing this on my being scammed?
Pretty sure smarter people than him or me have been scammed before

For the record my gpa was 3.78 out of a possible 4 at McGill University

WOW! This is an absolutely useless and retarded thread! Those lights are ridiculous man, you are obviously VERY new to 240's if you really thought they were nismo. Here's a tip, Almost NOTHING sold on e-gay is authentic. And seriously, why the hell did you use your e-mail as your SN? That is not smart!
