Headlight Removal

[huddy]

hi there

i need to be able to remove the headlight assembly both sides so i can fiddle with them, to get the H1 assembly bit out, and get the xenon's back in!

i can easily see there are 2 screws on the top, but is there a step by step? such as does grill, airbox, battery, front bar need to be removed?

and where are the other screws located for removal, pics would be very helpful

thanks

PM Darrin, aka darrinspencer, he should know, he just did a r34 front end conversion from a S2.

is this for a s2 GTST? Only asking since you mentioned battery... Is the battery in the engine bay on Series 2's?

In a 1999 Nissan Stagea RS4 series 2, yes there is a battery in the engine bay.

Will need to remove front bar and grille

The high beam headlights (the ones in the front grille S2) are mounted to the low beam head light, so removing the front bar you can get access

There is 3 nuts (10mm) at the rear of each head light, on the back side of the radiator support panel that need removing aswell

You may have to remove some things in the engine bay, like battery and airbox to get to 1 off the nuts. The other 2 are down the side of the radiator and should be able to get access.

Anyone who has done a conversion back to HIDs, what the green wires are on my HID ballast ??? ive got 12v in on side of unit, red and white to HID bulb, but what are greens ??? thanks

...never mind, worked out it is a safety circuit ie only turns on when bulb is present, can be overrid by bridging them together.
