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.

I can do more than just ban for fun.

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?

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
