      @@mikey_b00st I believe that I have the factory white lenses that came on the GTR. Did GTT's only come with amber lenses? I guess it will not make sense to leave the factory housing and lens instead of replace with the clear lamp kit you used as drls. I presume the GTT lense is the same size as the GTR's. I have not received the car yet. Just planning ahead. Thanks again.

      seeking truth the GTT only came with amber lenses, I would imagine it only makes sense to buy the oem Nismo clear or smoked ones or the aftermarket clear ones. As just changing the lenses themselves might not fit properly or risk of breaking the lamp.

      @@mikey_b00st My car has the Nismo white lenses but as I understand they are not "clear" like these aftermarket ones. If the lighting is too bright I can always put the White lenses back in for a diffused look. The switchback kit is just plug and play and will fit in the factory lenses and aftermarket lenses that CTAuto has to offer? I bought the clear lenses so I have options. Thanks a bunch.

    Thank you! I ordered both parts and the housing should be arriving shortly, will be trying to install in the next day or two :) Been driving with my lights on as DRLs since somehow the previous owner got my GTT inspected and registered without them

  • @kennylast2565
    @kennylast2565 4 роки тому

    Sorry i'm a noob when it comes to electrical stuff but you mean each bulb has a third wire which you connect them both through a single line and latter connect that same line into the fusebox, like a T Way connection? Any wire splicing needed or does the wires contain plug like heads?

    • @mikey_b00st
      @mikey_b00st  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Kenny! The kit purchased from iJDMtoy is a conversion kit which turns out 2 wire bulbs over to a 3 wire system. You run the 3rd wire from passenger side bulb to connect over to the driver side 3rd wire. Then run through engine bay and wheel well in to the fuse box. Hope this clarifies for you buddy!

      @@xbone8 hi, if you don’t get the right bulb it won’t convert from 2 wire to 3 wire.
      The 3 wire is what allows the switchback to run the DRL and then go back to turn signal function.
