HI:

i had a r32 gtst, and it using H1 bulb, but i can't manage to fit the H1 HID bulb in the housing, because the stock H1 bulb are plug into a twist cap first, than plug the twist cap into the headlight housing, so they dont come with the metal spring that normally holding the bulb like the r32 gtr, so how can i manage to hold the HID bulb into the housing?

THX!!!

Have you tried modifying the cap to hold the HID globe? I thought all headlights had their globes held in by the metal clip.

i know thats strange, normally is use metal clip to hold, but this one is like you plug the halogen into a base, than twist that base in the headlight housing, just like your reverse light, tail light etc, is the other way around.

was thinking to modify the stock cap, so i need to drew a bigger hold for it, but if something goes on, i can't use back to the halogen bulbs.

Hmm, I've never seen that before. With my headlights, there's just a hole for the globe to be slotted into and a metal clip to click in place. With that, I'm not too sure, I think cutting it up would be the only approach.

Any idea if getting a 'normal' headlight's clip and using that in your headlight?

Edit: Taking a second look at it, I don't think getting a clip from another headlight would work.

The series 1 R32 headlights had the H3C and the series 2 had H1's.

You shouldn't just get globes by following that information though, you would never know if your headlights have been swapped.

My headlights take H3C globes, but when installing those HID kits, you can just get the H3 and they'll fit. It was pretty much plug and play for me. Not too sure what happened with the lights which took H1's though.

Was thinking of grabbing an HID kit for my 32gtst as well - Also currently uses H3C bulbs.

Should i bother trying to convert to H! or just buy H3 where it should be plug and play?

Cheers!

Just get a H3 kit. There will be no difference if you were to convert to H1. If you're keeping halogen globes then it's best to convert to something else because there's not many quality globes out there on the market for H3C owners.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
