| Do you guys have the link on how to get the second bulbs installed into the clear corners (J-spec) I remember reading a thread on how to install the second bulbs that the US spec cars came with (parking light)...anyone have that link? |

Whoa... that might not be what he's looking for. There is a distinct difference between jspec "clear corners" and the corner lamps for the "jspec fascia". They are not the same thing. Unless ~300Z~ got a jspec fascia recently, I assume he is talking about the clear corner lenses that are the same shape as his OEM. (correct me if I'm wrong...)

BTW, technically, aren't clear corner's illegal in Alberta / Canada?
I also believe the clear tail-lights are illegal too...
Totally clear tail-lights are illegal AFAIK, especially if they don't even have a red reflector.
Not sure about "clear corners" on the front per se. As far as illumination goes, white and amber are acceptable on the front of the vehicle. (but not blue, green, red or any other ghey-ass ricer colors people might want on the front of their cars...) |

That's right, there is a difference between the Jspec corner's and the corner's on the newer jspec fascia....
As far as the legality part, that's what I thought. I believe there was a newspaper article in the Journal's wheel's section by a local police officer that talked about the legal issues with clear tails, corners, coloured bulbs. I'll have to track it down... |

I do use the search function on TT.net OFTEN, thanks for trying to help me but all of the links you gave me are completely not what i was looking for.

Sorry. My bad...
So you have the normal original fascia, but you got J-Spec clear corners.... hmmm.
I think you may want to talk to VorpalZ (Rob) because I believe he has totally clear corners and may have run into the same issue... |

I think he has the newer version of the clear corners (his have two holes and don't look the same) but thanks for the advice. I'll PM him.:) |

Here's what I have: (stock on left, J-spec on right)
And the bulbs:
My J-spec clears have two identical bulbs (1157 12V5W) the front one is the flasher, the rear for the park light. I have a Silvervision bulb in the flasher, it looks smaller than the rear 1157 in the pic, but is rated the same. Originally, my J-spec clears came with an orange 1157 bulb, but I didn't like the orange hue through the clear lens.
Still unsure of what you need to do, can you post a pic?
Thanks, |

Ok, I think I got it...
Your light assembly only has 1 hole for 1 socket where the normal USDM/CDM one's have 2 holes.
I think you need to get a new socket that supports a dual filament bulb and fits the new corners. Then you need to do some re-wiring to use the new socket and you should be good to go. |
