JDM Front indicators + REAR Light -> How do they look like?

Post by djArias »

I'm Trying to give my mx-3 a bit of JDM look so I ordered AMBER front indicators -> The problem that I have is that I dunno how to plug them to keep the ori. JDM style.
In USDM style the lamp is orange (or amber) and small "part" od the front lamp is blinded and the big one works as both indicator and sidelight,
in Euro style the lamp is "clear" small part is the sidelight and the big one is indicator
In JDM style the orange (amber) lamp has got two holes in it -> SO is it the same as in EURO version only the color changes, or maybe It's like in USDM version - any ideas?
best regards.

the JDM front indicators are identical to the USDM (all amber), except the second smaller hole is cut out and has a marker light in it (doesn't blink and comes on with the parking lamps). So yes if you already have the Euro setup you can plug them in the same way the Euro ones were and they will work correctly.

I'm guessing you are located in Europe?

Yes but because they were the only ones available I got the USDM indicators -> SO I'll have to cut out the holes for marker lights... At first I'll do the 100% JDM Style and if I dont like it I'll do a mixture od JDM/USDM -> I'll plug both bulbs as marker lights and both of them will blink :)

I'm changing my rear lights from Euro Spec to the proper JDM one - and I have few quesions - I prepared a small picture with numbers of the bulbs:

So far I figured that when I turn on lights then bulbs number 1,2,3,4 should start glowing - current 5W..
When I press the brake bulbs no. 1 & 4 start glowig -> 21W -> 2 & 3 remain 5W ?
When I turn Fog Light on bulb no. 2 turns on -> 21W the rest remains 5w?

Am I right or Am i Missing something?
