I took out my low beam globes and put in these ultra bright blue ones (same wattage) it looks so much better at night i can see so much more, as the standard ones are quite dull. i noticed they are the same globes for highbeem as well, so i will buy another set and change them too :)

It looks much better i would highly suggest next time u blow a head light globe you change them both over :D

is it ok to wire my lights so when my high beams are on, my low beams are too? do they overheat? or blow fuses if i do this?

also i was thinking of getting some fog lights, i have a series 2 GTR front bar, if i was to get them, do i put them down next to the indicators?

how would i install and wire them? how much would it cost if i got UAS or someone similar to install them?

Thanks! :)

get a xenon-filled halogen if you can. eg plus-30 or plus-50.

Or higher wattage.

Blue tinting makes the light blue how - by blocking orange light! Light that could be shining down the road. Bugger that, I want more light, not blue light :D

hippy, what type of bulbs in the PIAA range are you after?

I bring them in direct from Japan (Takes 5 days to arrive via post)

I have some H4 Plasma blue (Look bright purple) H3 Plasma blue (Nice blue) and a pair of H7 Spark blues. (Deep blue on road, purple fringe around projector lights!)

I also have a pair of Xtreme white H7's and H1's. (Blue bulb, slight tint of blue when on, VERY white light on the road.)

I'll be the first one to tell you, the Spark blue bulbs are dimmer then standard lights, but they are VERY blue. NOTHING on the road will look like these. Only good for showing off that you have deep blue headlights. (They are HOPELESS if it rains and very dimm compared to normal lights.)

The ONLY ones that are brighter then stock lights are the Plasma Blue H4 80/80 watt and the Xtreme white. They are slightly brighter on the road. (Work well in our X-Trail. No problems with wirering or plastic lenses.)

I would like to know if these lights [piaa] that uses 55w to produce 100w cause any problems to your light assembly/wiring thus far in your vehicle? Also, it $100 for piaa plasma spark blue for H1 a bit much?

cheers.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
