Hey mate. I think thats the way its mean to work. My headlights do the same thing. When i have it on low beams i only get the two outter lights lit. (think its the outter ones). THen when you go to high beam the outter lights turn off and the inner ones turn on. I am sure that they are not mean to both be on at the same time.

Hope that helps.

From looking at the pictures:

1. Your passenger side lo-beam bulb is blown

2. Your drivers side hi-beam bulb is blown

Secondly what jrocket says is right.

The lo-beams and hi-beams work independently of each other.

When the hi-beams are on, low beams are off.

you could just change your passenger high beam bulb with the low beam

that is if you don't mind not having high beam at all

altho it is quite troublesome if the headlights still have all the screws intact.

which means you'd have to take off the front bar 1st and then the grill

b4 you can take the headlights off

You can change the hi-beam/low-beam bulbs (also parker) without taking the headlight off.

    • Hello everyone, I'm glad to join you.
    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
