hey, im having the same problem with the lights on my 32 altho i think i know what it is. its the internals of the knob switch that are not triggering the lights to come on. try jiggling the knob a little and see if they both turn on, it works for me. someday ill get round to getting it looked at, its just the terminals inside the switch arent always making contact when u turn the knob.

cheers

I had the same problem...but i got it fixed..its basically the switch is playing up...theres 3 contacts insides the switch..as u turn it pushes a slide thing down inside to push down on the contact...nissan has 1 switch/contact for each light...thats why u at times get 1 light working n the others do or both die or both works...wat i did was basically take the switch out..open it up carefully n use some contact cleaners n sand it a bit with fine sandpaper...once thats done..i joined the 2 wires for the headlights power together on the connector..so as soon as i switch it on...both light comes on (EVEN if one of the contact isnt really work properly) hope this help...sorry for poor description..PM me if not sure

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
