R33 M-spec Front Bar Parking Lights?

[HOT_R33]

Hey guys,

Yes, yet another front bar question.....anyway.

Has anyone ever seen these lights actually working on a R33 before. I'm talkin about the little white lights on the inside of the idicators. I know there is wiring going to the whole light unit but I just wanna know if they can be used or if someone has seen them working on another R33?

good question.

mine dont work.

although i am missing the FOG LIGHT relay in my engine bay fusebox.

Could that be why?

When i switch on my parkers (low) lights, the dim lights in the headlights turn on, but no others.

Hmmm, maybe, I haven't checked that....I'm just curious to see if they work at all.

I have never seen a R33 with them actually working but they must be there for a reason...

Yeah i wired mine up on my first R33...

I bought a series 2 indercator stalk and wired the relay to the fog light switch on the S2 stalk.

Easy done... Didnt do anything really...

Series 2 front bar with fog lamps is a far better idea.

[Munkyb0y]

Actually, i found another thread that explains all this.

R33 S1 had fogs as an option. S2 came standard (i think).

So there are actually no lights in there, just a clear lense. This explains why i have no FOG relay.

munkyboy is right there is no bulb assembly there...

i have seen a thread in the past where someone put bulbs in there but it wasnt a very pretty setup

[Munkyb0y]

Are the fog lights like parking lights (dim) ?

Or like spotties?

I have a pair of spotties on my front bar. Bright as hell. I think they look ok.

Wouldnt bother with the standard fogs, especially for the extra hassle of installing bulbs etc.

Hey, those look alright Munkyb0y, have ya got a pic with the fog lights on?

They might just be the answer to my lighting problems.

I'll post a pic soon. Havent got one right now.

These lights are really bright, like high beam+ bright.

[Col-GTSX]

I put bulbs into the standard assembly. I just used a parker bulb 5W. If you use anything bigger you will melt the lamp assemby. They simply were not made for fog lamps like the Series 2.

Does not really matter cause fog lamps are only surposed to be used in high beam conditions.

[Munkyb0y]

Here's a pic with the lights on.

It's an old pic, havent had time to take another one at night.

These lights are very bright, and only meant for high beam use, as Col-GTSX said.

They have led's in them too. And a switch box under the dash to change the colours.

Nice novelty, but I dont use it, they were on the car when i got it.

by the way, these arent my real plates, duh!

[HOT_R33]

They look pretty good mate.

Only problem is, finding a spot for them in my front bar without blocking the fmic.

I wish i had that problem.

Your bar looks pretty damn nice.

It's kinda similar to mine, sorta, but doesnt look quite as low.

Do you have issues with driveways and speed humps etc?

Mine's way too low. Got stuck in a carpark the other day, exit ramp was too steep, had to go out the entry ramp.

What type of bar is yours?

Been looking at changing mine.
