use to have those type of lights on my GTS-t only difference i have found that you have fog lights on them. think you might need extra wiring for that not sure.

well there is the factory fog light switch on the dash just above the headlight switch so maybe the wiring is already there *crosses fingers*

is that what the 2nd filament is for on the high beam?

you say you used to have them...can I ask why you changed them? and how did you get them to fit on a gtst when they are for a gtr?

i would say the single light is the fog light and the h4 dual filament globe would be the hi/low beam in one as it is on most other cars

sounds like a winner!

I have seen another 32R for sale that had these light and only the single light (closest to the grille) was on, and a pic I took of a R32 Vspec N1 on GT4 has the headlight as the larger light... F*$k I sound like a geek taking that much antention to the GT4 car!

The freight company has said the package will arrive tomorrow so this weekend I should be on the tools getting them in and wired correctly...

I'll post some pics

Thanks for the help guys

looks like the ones on mine and my bro's car.

the "small" square light is h3c and thats your foggies. the big rectangular one is your normal driving lights. its where ur park lights are also. they are h4 and t10 for parks.

hope that helps.

Well the other headlight arrived and so today after lunch I hit the tools.

The swap over took about 1hr-1.5hrs and was a very easy task...

1)remove centre grille (5 clips)

2)remove outside indicators (1 screw)

3)remove headlights and associated wiring (4bolts + couple of plugs)

4)install new headlights

5)replace outside insicators

6)replace centre grille

The passenger side bottom bolt was a tricky one to get to so I just removed part of the intercooler piping for better access. The pod filters have to be removed first for any room to move and the same on the drivers side... the battery was given the boot while getting down and dirty. The bottom bolt on the drivers side was also a little crammed as some pipes (I think air con) were in the way. Socket with a swivel section just to loosen it and then it was easy to undo by hand.

I am still yet to finish the wiring as there are plugs for the fog lights but the switch on the dash has no plug connecting it??? I will check this out tomorrow or one of the next couple of weekends so I can get these working... I'll update this thread then.

Personally I think the car looks much tougher with these lights as it suits the rest of the N1 body kit (bonnet lip, side skirts and boot lid lip)... just need to get the special "no rear windscreen wiper" rear window for the authentic look!!!

Managed to find some time today to get the instrument cluster out so I could look for fog light wiring... and what do you know... there is a standard plug and wiring loom already there taped to the rear demister loom!

simply pluged the loom into the existing fog light switch, checked the fuse was ok and flicked the switch... let there be light. The fog lights run off the battery and not accessories like the normal headlights. The odd thing is though... the park lights also turn on with the fog lights? I didn't notice the rear lights on but I will check it out and post some pics of the now finished job.

Hope this thread helps anyone thinking about changing lights or hooking up fog lights? I would suppose you could use the factory switch and plugs near the bumper to add aftermarket lights (like the very common PIAA spotties on a heap of imports)...save you a bit of time with wiring?

so are you selling you head lights now??

Yeh but I already have someone who has been waiting a while to take them... maybe I should run an auction!!! The price atm is $195 for the pair (which I think is a bargin as most lights are around that price each not a pair)... they will be gone by Thursday if noone else wants them?

Sorry I know this isn't the 4sale section, but had no intention to try and sell these lights through this thread... just PM me if your interested.

  • 3 weeks later...

There has been a problem with the passenger side headlight not working on low beam and the parklight working only intermitnantly. After checking it out my self, tracing all the wires from the headlight plug, under the radiator support, etc... the wire was still dead.

I took it to a sparky today for a fix. He said the plug at the actual switch on the dash cluster was where the problem was. When I was hooking up the fog lights it was easily visible that the main headlight plug was burnt from too much current, however a friend who has seen this before had told me that it's the same on all R32's. It looks like when it burnt out it still had connection, but when it was unplugged it lost it's connection.

if you get the same problem... check there 1st!

By the way, my old lights are gone

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
