Ok...so the front lights dont work.

So my best advice would be to go your local autoparts store and tell them what you need. most people there are compitent enough to figure out what you need and get you the right parts.

Nah dude...we were both wrong. its the front light...lol.

thanks again, but the rear lights are good!!

Combination lights would be the running lights and turn signals together. Did he say the sockets need replacing? THe lens should have nothing to do with it unless they are allowing water to leak in.

What was the original problem? Meaning, why did you take it in?

In the picture it looks like there are 4 lights each side of the front end...

Yeah...lol, sorry I read that after I posted this. Look up a couple of posts.

Well this is a project car he bought off someone like a month ago...it was in a front end crash meaning he rear ended someone, and the lights havent worked since.

The headlights work, its the lower ones that include the signal lights that dont, so it cant get safetied.

my bad

Wow you have a 300ZX? Wich one is it? Z31 or Z32?

Save your money honey...you know how mechanics are..probably just gotta make a boat payment or something. Just go to your auto parts store and get a can of blinker fluid and I bet it will do the trick. If not, they have light bulb repair kits for a couple of $.

Ill be back in 1.5 hours or so to check on this, thanks for the help so far guys!!

Just have all the info from your car available when ordering parts, all those lights are your directionals, The lights on the outside of the car that blink when you turn your signals on.

If the lights themselves are intact but not working, replace the bulb.

I think you need a second opinion..There may be a short to ground, assemblies are not going to fix it....

is it a twin turbo?




what does it have to do with your siginal lights,


absolutely not a thing,

^^^

How'm I supposed to know that lol
I'm just a driver, and it's HIS car, he wants the lights for christmas


If it IS a wiring problem, are the wires easy to get?

Or will I have to make some? (I'm an aircraft electrician)

Is there a Haynes Manual website?

Take a picture...post it on here...then try to tell us whats wrong. Or maybe just have him show you.

Your an aircraft electrician and you know nothing about lightbulbs...which has to do with electricity?

Maybe im just confused. One last time. Is it the light bulbs that arent working, or is it the clear plastic around the light bulb that is busted?

ok woah woah

back up the truck here...

I believe in the OP I said thats what HE wanted...Just because I fix airplanes, doesn't mean I tinker around in my man's new toys...HE told me what he needed, I asked for help in finding/getting it

I SURELY know how lights work, and how to replace bulbs, and how to CREATE the components (wiring, clips, etc) according to specs.

Maybe if you re-read my posts...I don't know much about cars...

I'm no Nissan 300ZX expert but...

If I look at this picture of the 300ZX, It has only side-signal lights, the front are fog lights. They call it combination because it's more then one bulb and 2 colors (amber and clear) so it is essentially a "combination" signal light.

Here look, forget about the amber color, these would look better *(can't post the direct link, but the first 3-4 that looks clear and new):
