nismo DRL wiring help

chrislee012 · 09-14-2017, 10:36 PM

Hey guys,

very fustrated with wiring my Evo R DRLs to my 2011 Z with a 2015 nismo front conversion. Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong? In sum-

The passenger side Evo R DRL works, however the driver side DRL doesnt turn on. I tried re-wiring, re-grounding, and nothing works. I wired it to the open relay in the IPDM as many have done.

Any clue guys? Do I have a lemon?

Thanks in advance

Try swapping the LED modules from side to side. If the dark module moves to the other side, that's the bad one. If it stays dark on the same side, you have a wiring problem.

Get a cheap electrical multi meter. ~$30 and they are useful for many things beside just your car. Check the voltage on both sides coming from the car. Check the Resistance on both fixtures in both directions and make sure they are similar. It should be pretty clear then as to what's faulty or where the problem is.
