Coupe Random Little Question Thread
Drew113,
Is it a law that the bulb has to be amber ? I use clear to match up to the headlights since
the corners are so close to the headlights
I ordered my clear corners from a dealer in Cailifornia and they are made by JDM
and came with the amber bulbs. I asked for the flat ones like the stock amber color that
came with my 06 G35 but they told me they don't make them anymore in clear and the
ones i got is a new design that's been out for a few years and what they put on the
Skyline's. Both corners say JDM on the back with the part #.

technically yes its a law to have color emitting from the corner lights to be amber....stock amber sides have normal clear bulbs in them because its not needed to create that amber look but for the clear style side markers, they provide amber bulbs to make them legal
And yes the clear non-bump JDM sidemarkers are rather rare nowadays since they stopped making them and can cost up to 100 bucks used

Hey guys, random little question after moving my car today. Do y'all notice a small, unique smell coming from the car right after start up? It only lasts maybe 10-15 seconds. Idk how to describe it. Maybe like a gas/oily kind of smell. Just wondering if its normal or if it may lead to some problems. Thanks!

No they don't count, unless they say Nissan on the back they aren't genuine parts, the problem people have with the ebay sidemarkers is condensation issues

haha yeah and you can tell the difference by just looking at them usually whether they are real or not...some people don't have problems with the ebay ones so you could get lucky
I purchased these corner markers at Orange Coast Infiniti thru their parts dept.
The box they came in is grey with white lettering saying Genuine Parts and Nissan all
over and over on the box.
The box also say's made in Japan
The box say's Set Lamp - S / T Qty 1
Part # B61F0-CM40A as well as the instructions written only in Japanese.
The back of the amber and clear markers both say Nissan as well and O.C. Infiniti told
me they were ordered and came from Japan and are Genuine Nissan parts.
O.C Infiniti showed them listed at $89.95 and sold them for $34.95.
Mine moves slightly
So was under my car a while ago and noticed the rear brace (tunnel stay) was bent up on both sides. Almost like someone tired to put it on a lift from there. Will it hurt anything being bent up where it curves on both sides? Wasn't sure if it affected anything being bent.
