I've got it all. I wasn't planning on getting rid of it, but if you can't get a hold of one let me know.

Did you get 275/40 for the rear on purpose? I think 275/45 would have gotten you closer to OEM height.

275/40 is too short of a sidewall. Trust me I learned from experience. It can and in my case did set traction control off all the time when I would go around fast corners like merging from highway to highway.

FFFFUUUUUU!!!! My turn signals were lighting simultaneously (along with the small lights) so I tried to fix it and now the turn signals don't work at all, WTF. I pulled on some wiring by accident while pulling the headlight and I think that may have shorted whatever was already messed up. I need to see if it's the headlight or wiring elsewhere that's f***ed up before having to take it to Nissan.

Does anybody have a passenger side headlight they can lend me real quick? I will return it within an hour or two. I just need to connect it to my car to see if my turn signals will work.

Alternatively, does anybody know of anyone who is a good electrician (or good/reliable with wiring) who can troubleshoot/fix my issue for cheap?

Just get a test light and see if your getting power. The fuse for the signals
Is in the fuse box behind the battery

Easy fix is turn vdc off when getting in car. I have to make a habit or the vdc takes all the fun out of boost

I am a 'tard when it comes to wiring. I shouldn't have even attempted to fix this issue myself. At least the rest of the headlight still works.

Where is your shop?

I have tcs instead of vdc but regardless I knew somebody was going to make this argument and it's true that this will eliminate the problem but if you're like me, I can't stand having any lights on on my instrument cluster lol

Where is your shop?
Sounds like you deffinately shorted something out. When u say they were all blinking did u mean all 4 lights at same time up front or both lights on one side?
My shop is in ovilla
