ok i want to put some globes into the standard bars fog lights where there is none at the moment .. there definitely is a hole there .. i dont' understand why they would put a hole there and not put any lights?? maybe because its just too hard to get down there?? anyways just wondering how u wire up the lights so that they turn on when the parkers turn on, and also how do i wire up neons which my cousin gave me so that it also turns on at the same time??

thanks ..

hippy,

i suggest you wire the lights up to the fog light switch that is already there (well there is one opn the r32s anyway) as it has its own fuse and too much current will not be an issue

if u wire it up to the parkers, it may (depending on the power rating of the globe) either blow the fuse or heat up the wires if it draws too much current

simply mount the lights, run a wire from the plug to the light then from the light back to the plug

btw... i just did this last weekend as i had no fog lights but a switch in the dash and plugs doing nothing in the engins bay!

Waz.

just wire them directly to the parker light wires. thats what i did when i had spotlights on, they were 35 watt H3 bulbs, no problems. but i suggest keep it low wattage, maybe even just small bulbs or LEDS in there cos u might blow a fuse or fry some wiring. I think im also gonna do that, put some lights in that empty area. It would look good with like blue LED's or sumthing! and yes u can get defected for having blue lights, i got fined for having blue lights in my car!

they were blue leds pointing outside the car, much like windscreen washer LEDS (which are illegal if blue) yeah he pulled me over for speeding then said those lights cannot be seen from the outside cos ppl might think ur a poilce vehilce! so i just paid the fine and took the lights off. However i still have blue lights everywhere ;) my mates got a 4wd and has a blue strobe light he pretends to pull ppl over but drive off when the stop hehe :D u can have blue lights in the car man just make sure they arent visible from outside like 2 m away

I hooked a set of 55w driving lights into the factory fog light leads on my 32, and the factory switch had no worries with it at all, only problem is that as they are larger than the wattage of the low beam lights, they have to turn off when the headlights are dipped, so am in the process of installing another switch and relay to give high beam switching. and it is a B*** pain in the a&** trying to find ANY particular wire under the dash in these damn things... jeez!

and Your right CMS Drifter, you can have any coloured light you like, as long as you can't see the source (ie globe, LED) from outside the car. Mate got pulled over about a week ago for a blue neon under his RX7, looked cool, even after moving it to a "safer" location...

scotty,

not sure about the r33 as i don't have one! my switch is above the instrument cluster on the border that surrounds the cluster.

it has the fuse located in the fuse area under the dash - look to see if u have a fuse for it and work back to see if there is a switch maybe

Waz.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
