Smile side lights stay on and blink

This is what I would do, check the light system on the car (front lights) and see if the lights stay on and also blink, if YES, then I would locate the correct wire and use that wire for the side blinkers.

It will work aswell.

I also believe it`s a great mod for our 350z.

Cool What about??

Does anyone know if these emblem markers can be put on an 07 350Z?? Seems like I am only finding them for the 370 and from what I understand they don't fit on the 350. This true?

How do you detach the mail connector on the emblem? It seems like it is on there pretty good. Do you just cut it off the plastic connector? What should I use? Small saw?

Also, what guage wire and tap connector are used to connect to the turn signal wires? The turn signal wires are thicker than the wires on the 370 sidemarker. Thanks.

Also, where can I find the wire like the OP's? All I find in stores is single primary wires. I want the two wires in one.

Nevermind, I figured everything out. The male connector can either be dremeled off or you can get a thin piece of metal (I used an old dip stick) and pry the connector off the plastic prongs by inserting it into the open slat on the front of the male connector.

The wire guage of the sidemarkers is 20. The wire guage for the turn signals is 16. So I bought 16 guage wires so when I t-tapped them together with the turn signal wires, they would match up nice in the t-tap. Since the sidemarker wires are spliced, twisted, and soldered together, it wasn't all that necessary to have the same guage wire.

Default How to make it stay on and blink

To do this you will need a couple automotive 12V relays. See this site for information on these relays: http://www.the12volt.com/relays/relays.asp. I used their graphic of a relay in my diagram.

Here's a circuit I drew up to make the lights come on when the running lights/headlights are turned on, plus blink with the blinker. (Note: The diagram shows the blinker and running light wires being used twice. Do not tap into the factory wires two times, just make the second tap on your wires, or wire from one relay to another.)

When the running lights are off it will be off, but it will turn on when the blinker is on, in other words it will be in sync with the blinker and act like a second blinker.

When the running lights are on it will be on, but it will blink off when the blinker is on, in other words it will alternate with the blinker.

Without hooking into the circuitry that gives a signal saying the blinker is on (lever is pushed), there is no way to make it blink in any other combination with such simple circuitry. If someone knows where to get that signal then I could show you the circuit for it, but I don't think it's necessary and this makes for a very simple install, just tapping into the blinker and running light wires, just like the tutorial already has you do.

Enjoy!

i've had mine on for more than a year now... for $70 and your time, IMHO they're worth it. btw, this video depicts my experimentation with LED turn signals...

I just did this the other day. Was pretty easy. Btw, I didn't use the hose clamps to hold the bracket on, on the back. I was able to thread the screws back on... little hands...

Also, I sacrificed one of the OEM fender emblems to use as the template. If you drill through the center dot, on the "Z" that's the exact center of the ring. No need to use another template, after popping that off.

Thanks for the great write-up, OP. Made it cake to do.

Just did mine about 4 months ago. Really easy mod to do, just took about 3-4 hours since I took my time and took breaks or got distracted.
