I'd be too scared to even attempt this.
I like the look of it though.

Yeah I saw your pictures but, didnt want to bother you with exact measurements. I guess i will just have to eyeball it also unless someone in any country besides the US can chime in?

Kwame: luckily it seems i got the factory harness from the member i bought it from, unfortunately it will seem that i have to splice into it anyway and not use the oem plug.

To me 1cm does not look right as



Looks a little more to me

the way how i got my (eyeball) measurements was by looking at a close up pic. of a real JDM fairlady Z's sidemarker...and trust me it's not 1cm... it's more like between .5-.75 inch

^^Cool!! Also how did you end up wiring to the headlights?

Ive got two wires that im thinking of splicing into the turn signal lights....unless these lights are not meant to light up then ill tap into the sidemarker lights.

Yeah, I don't get the trend, they look unnecessary on the car anyway. Cleaner is better.
