Default Help!! Just bought Alteeza Tail lights for my 08 Nismo

I just bought some Alteeza tail lights for my Nismo but the stock plug does not fit the aftermarket one. Does anyone know how to splice and connect the wires? On the aftermarket lights, there are 2 black wires but only 1 black coming from the car. Any ideas?? Please help and I will post photos when I am done.

Thanks!!

What do you plan to do with your stock tails? I'll take them off your hands!!

Sorry I can't answer your questions. Never messed with the wiring of either.

If you are interested in that style, you should purchase some JDM taillights, they are clear like that, but are OEM so the quality is excellent. They come on all Z's in Japan.

PM any number of vendors here on the site, they will be able to get you a good price.

Here is one vendor with them for sale. If you don't want to spend that much then I would suggest not doing anything, because putting cheap junk on this car never looks good.

Also, cutting anything stock is a bad idea. When you sell the car you will want to be able to take aftermarket stuff off.

That was the worst part about my Evo. I HATED those damn lights and people always asked why I put such crappy lights on a nice car.

Yeah, return those rice out lights and get some real ones like the JDM tails. If you decide to put the alteeza style lights, please do us a favor, sell your Z and buy a civic.......
