R32 Projector Hid Mod

[Haysey]

Hey guys

ive recently got an HID kit for my car, im just having trouble securing the bulb into the light, the only way i can see is if i drill the old bulb holder out and mount the new bulb in that, but i dont want to do that unless i know its going to work....

can someone explain or send me a pic of the back of their headlight..

thanks all

hey chris, ive looked at that and im just putting xennons in my stock projectors......

guna get my auto elec mate to have a look at it thisavo so hopefully sort it out

[MANWHORE]

Those crappy hid kits don't need any modding to fit. I wouldn't use em, but if you want to, it's up to you.

this one has a rubber gasget behind the bulb that i think needs to be slightly trimmed in the middle to hold the globe in thats all, only realised that yesterday..

i know you wouldnt use them, ive read the threads.. but im sick of my shit lighting at the moment and this was cheap cheap so chuck it in and see how it goes i guess

[Haysey]

naww someone must have done this on a 32 without H3C

im pretty stumped to figure out how to told them in there

[adam-__-]

I always thought there was a metal clip to hold in the globe. Do you have one? Cause that's the only thing that's holding my globes in place.

Are we talking about the same thing?

[Haysey]

yeah ive got the metal clip to hold the globe in, works fine on the stock plastic thing that the shitglobes stick into, but unless i drill the centre out of it and somehow mount it in the plastic things ive got a gap between where the globe sits on the headlight and where the metal clip sits

if you get it? something like a washer would kinda work but we have tried all of that... get it? kinda?

[adam-__-]

The plastic thing you're talking about, is it the cap thing? Or are you talking about the dust cover? If I remember correctly, I took out my plastic holder thing (but I've got H3 globes to replace the H3C). I just took out the plastic thing, held the globe in by the clip and left the dust cover there to stop the dust

Not too sure if that made any sense to you :laughing-smiley-014:

WELL they are finally in!

Alot of scratching of heads and testing things and ive finally got them in.....

It goes something like this

Bulb........3x small cable ties tied to each other behind the bulb to act as a spacer...... a washer with a groove cut out of it to be able to get the hid clip through... then almost a full circle washer (plastic) that came in the kit(bulb protector part).... then the stock metal clip to hold it all in there...

its as firm as i could get it...

looks awesome

bright as

cutoff line is perfect!

[adam-__-]

Good to hear everything is sorted

Any chance you can post pictures of your headlights and cut off line? I just want something to compare my cut off line to

[Haysey]

yeah ill take some pics when this weather clears up...

its a perfect cutoff line... looks awesome!

what kit did u buy buddy?

[hanyou]

hey man ive got hid in my car. friggen awesome

using h3c as well, i got it on a group buy - brand is called techone

although mine arnt aligned properly, lol i think i broke the thing to allign them cuz its not moving anymore haha, but good enuff for me

only problem is sometimes wen i turn on the light the left (passenger) side doesnt turn on, so i jus turn it back on and off till it does, any ideas?

[Haysey]

Bought this kit from 666DAN

Hanyou, the problem is most likely in the actual switch for the headlights as all power runs through the switch... same problem with mine occasionally passenger side wont come on... quick flick of the switch a few times and she comes on....

New switch from nissan would be the fix.. but meh dosent bother me

Congratulations.

One question.. why didn't you buy a set of H3's that would have fit, instead of H1's..?

On the switch issue, do a search, it has been covered how to repair the switch yourself.

[hanyou]

cant seem to find a thread for it

got a link by any chance for repairing the switch?

woops nevermind found it lol

because my standard headlights are H1, and are wired for H1.............
