R33 Interior Lighting

[Craved]

looks like the grain of wheat ones as used in the air con unit .

Ok looks like its just hte 1 bulb in the power window part - the AUTO one which mine lights up... the other 2 don't look like they have bulbs?

[ferni]

The bulb in the hazard light bit is about half the size of the one used in the Climate control units, but that same one from the climate control still fit.

lol none of mine work in the series 2, might have to take it apart

I put up a similar fix for this a while ago, the one mentioned eariler by simon is probably better though with good pics.

I suggest doing your demister switch first to get used to pulling them apart and putting them back together as it is easier without the spring in it. good luck,

Both of mine had springs. The globe-size is 3mm diameter in both units.

I bought some 12v 3mm globes with leads soldered onto them from Jaycar for two bucks, and it looks like they should work. The hazzard lights up an orangy-red! I'll try and put them back in tomorrow.

Yeah thats the little red condom that makes it that colour, its wierd looking at it now since i've not seen it in the last years of owning my skyline

Yeah, the demister has an orange capped globe for when it is on (the little spot that lights up), and a blue capped globe for the picture of the windscreen.

The hazard button only has one globe, which has a reddish cap on it. Unlike my A/C controls, I was able to gently work the caps off the old globes and reuse them (although the blue one tore a fraction).

As far as the A/C globes go, i'm still at a loss. Without the caps (which totally tore when I removed them), I have a bright orange A/C unit. The Narva silicone caps are for 5mm globes, and the grain-of-wheat are 4mm, so the cap falls off easily. I was going to use superglue inside the cap, but i'm not sure what would happen with the heat of the globe.

Jaycar have 12v LED's in red and yellow, but not clear or blue... otherwise that would have been great as there is no room to solder in a resistor with these little bastards.

I might just order them from Nissan. They know nothing else exists. =-[

Hey guys,

I used to have a ring of light which surrounds the key ignition barrel. When I had the factory nissan central locking key-fob remote (which I have not seen anywhere else before, shame it got tossed when an aftermarket python alarm was installed) when I unlocked the car it would light up the circle and show me where to put the key in the dark. Other times you just open the car to get in and turn the headlights on before turning the key and it would also light up.

After a few years now, my ring hasnt been lighting up anymore. I miss it. It will make an appearance every now and then, mostly when I tap the ignition surround it will come back on, but not as reliable anymore.

Has anyone fixed this problem before?
