Hey all!

Could anyone please point me in the right direction as to how to install headlight globes for my Skyline?

I have the globes already (H1 Type), but I don't know how to install the globes into the headlight assemblies.

I just want to change my low-level lights, as one of them got blown. My parker lamps and high-beam lights are fine.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks all!

1. Unscrew cap and move out of the way

2. Un-hook wire clip

3. Pull out headlight bulb + bulb holder

4. Pull out bulb from holder

5. Put new bulb in holder

6. Put back holder into place

7. Hook wire clip

8. Screw cap

9. Test lights!

Yeah its the same process but the high beams were much harder to access (atleast for me), could not see &^%.

Speaking of which, can someone mention how to change the parkers? :P I think i can see the little tab thing that has to be pulled out... but cant get it out. lol

Parkers - look down in the tiny gap. there is this white thing. It's very small. basically, you turn it.

It will be an absolute bitch without removing the washer bottle. Expect possible blood unless if you've got pint size hands.

turn it, which will unlock it, then pull it out.

the parkers are really well buried. to get to the drivers side you WILL have to remove the washer bottle, loosen the fusebox so you can remove the overflow bottle, and then get your hands in there. gynecologists can do this without removing the washer bottle. i can't.

Even then, you can unplug the wiring but I couldn't get enough leverage on the parker socket to unlock it (it twists anticlockwise). A brainwave presented itself when i spotted my needlenose pliers, and they work like a dream. Don't cut yourself to ribbons, use the pliers. one end on each corner of the socket and twist gently, it'll pop right out. Use the pliers to lock them in again when you've changed the bulb.

Also, my plugs had all this white gunky shit in them which was making the contact iffy, and the parkers would cut in and out. i hit them with an air duster followed by a shitload of electronic cleaning solvent, which blew some of the gunk out. after that they work perfectly.

if you can do your parkers the H1s should be a piece of piss! :(

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
