my headlights when on low beam, use the only outside globes(and the far outside ones), and high beams use only the inside...my question is, is this different to others? are the different models...different? as in, do the high beams use the outside ones aswell?

next question...can you understand this?

:D:P

There's a kit from www.PerfectRun.com.au that allows you to turn on both hi and low beam when the light stalk is on hi beam position, this is to get more ilumination. Brand is East Bear. Kit is pretty pricey I reckon, about $180 plus not including delivery.

If someone know abt electronic, I reckon it will probably just some wiring harness, isn't it?

highbeam globe and the normalbeam globe are separate. They both got their own compartments.

i realize this...but try tell that to a dickhead behind a counter with his head up his ass...the thing is, when i asked him if it what he was saying was true, he asked another guy there...same answer

You can get brighter globes, I run 130w on my GTR high beams and it makes a massive difference as I think the standard lights are crap with the 85w globes. I do a lot of driving at night and do not like to not be able to see everything. I have been used to really bright lights on other cars and the gtr's just dont cut it for the performance of the car.

In terms of keeping the low beams on when the high beams come on you simply need to run a diod (Sp) in the wiring between the high and low bean trigger wire so that power can run too the low beams when the highs come on. You may also need to run a relay to help boost the high beam switch depending on what condition it is in. This will cost about $2.50 for the diodes and getting somone who has a clue to put them in for you. If I can next week I will give you the wiring colors.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
