JDM tail lights not connecting to US 240Z


Recommended Posts

I just purchased a set of new JDM tail lights from Futofab, the harness connector is different from the OEM harness on my 1971 240Z. Does anyone know which is the correct harness connector, Futofab says is should plug in the OEM harness. You can see from the picture the connecters are totally different. Has anyone had this problem. Is there an adapter to go from the JDM style to the 240Z style connector? Is my car different from all the other 240Z's.

 

The picture on the right is the JDM connector.

Should be able to reuse your old harness as the sockets should be the same.  There is a wiring fix you need to do at the light switch to separate the blinker function from the tail lights so the tail lights work correctly (No brake light via the Amber lens.)

This is one but there are others I've seen too.

Yes I sent  pictures to Futofab they said they do not know why my car is different (they work with there 1971 240Z). I guess I will order new connectors that match and re- wire. My old harness is rusted I do not want to re-use it. I was just wondering if I really have different connectors than other 1971 240Z's.
