So I have my silvia corners all wired up but how do I make it where it does not blink all fast? I searched but found nothing. :ugh:

if your signals are blinking fast it's because either one of them isn't wired right or you have a bulb that's out.

Alright well does anyone have any pics on how to properly wire these because I have a light inspection due before friday. Any help?!

dude just check your wiring.

what were your side marker lights go to the clear portion in your corner lights.

your bumper lights wire up just like before. what you do is splice into your bumper light wiring. you splice into the green and black wire in order to have your corner blinker working. check your bulbs and check your rear taillights, you might have one in the rear that isn't working.

That's how they are wired. And the bulbs are brand new...

I really need some help here. Does anyone have a write up or anything on how to wire these up properly and for them to blink at a normal pace? I need to have this shit done by tonight...

If you come to the VRT meet tonight you can take a look at mine.

You did not search well enough. I answered this question at least 10 times before, with detailed explanation and link to how you can fix the problem.

The OEM flasher relay operates off of resistance. If there isn't enough resistance in the circuit, like if a bulb is broken or if a bulb has been downgraded to a smaller bulb (like Silvia signals), you will get fast flashing to alert the driver that there is a problem.

Fix the bulb, put in bigger bulbs, or get a new flasher relay. Search on Google to find flasher relays.

cant use a bigger bulb. it wont fit. only bulbs that fit is a 194 and thats way to small. its needs a 1157 bulb. but those are way to big.

also why whould the hazards be blinking at normal speed.

do they run off a different relay?

ok. Here it is. I've searched this last night because I've installed a 180sx type x lights on my car with the smaller single filament bulb and they blink faster than 1Hz.
Stock 240sx turn signals are two filament while the smaller ones are single filament. So the load/resistance changes in the circuit causing the turn signals to blink faster than 1Hz. That would be same as if you had a bulb burnout.
There are several options. You can install a load equalizer similar to a LED load equalizer. Or find the resistance of the stock lights and install a resistor to equal the load/resistance. Or you can buy lead turn signals with the load equalizer included but I think its about $15-20 for one light.
