dsommer Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) I ordered a set of the clear side markers with housings from thailand_vintage77 on ebay, they just arrived (took forever!) but I am very pleased with what I recieved for the price. They included lenses, trim, housings, bulbs, all wire connectors, exactally what is pictured below. Sure the lenses are the ones that have the rough type finish inside not like the smooth ones that sell for well over $100 from REDDAT on ebay but for the price $22 I don't think you can beat them. We'll see. Edited January 17, 2014 by dsommer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socorob Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Can you post a picture of the bulb holder front and back? I would like to see if they would be simple enough to switch to a stop, turn and tail bulb, like an 1157 type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsommer Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 Let me fire up the camera but that sounds like a stretch for that much functionality. But then again this is HYBRIDZ so nothing is impossible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihavearustedz Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I bought the exact ones, only I bought just one pair. Mines shipped surprisingly fast! Im pleased with the finished product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLATA Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I got the lenses from the same vendor, they look well made and are now on my Z four corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poundz9oh9 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Little bit here and there, still no hood though. It's been like 9 years now, still going to get it for the new project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Six_Shooter Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Can you post a picture of the bulb holder front and back? I would like to see if they would be simple enough to switch to a stop, turn and tail bulb, like an 1157 type. You can turn the side markers into signal easy enough, and you don't need an 1157. All you need to do is move the ground wire from ground to the turn signal wire. I had my fronts wired this way for a few years when I had an MSA type 2 air dam with some front signals in the lower vents. This will allow the side markers to flash in sync with the front/rear signals when the parking lights are off, and will be out of sync when the parking lights are on. Many '70's, '80's and '90's GM's (I'm sure others as well) were wired this way for the front turn signals. When I went back to a 240Z valence, I just plugged the original front marker/turn signals in, and haven't got around to re-wiring it again, so my side markers are just side markers currently.

nismosilvia Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Make sure to change the bolts on the side markers to plastic ones if your doing the turn signal mod. That way they won't ground to the body, also use the rubber housing shroud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six_Shooter Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 You don't need to change the bulbs, just make sure the gasket is good to isolate the housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
