R33 Head Lights

[xtc]

hey guys, been searching for answers on net but havnt found any. so decided to join this forum. anyway, i just got a r33 gts-t sII and its auto. just drove it home and realise that the main headlights turns off when i full stop at the traffic lights and turns back on when i accelerate again. the side lights in front still stays on but the main ones keep doing this. the risk is nothing as it turns back on but this will attract cops at night time.. so can anyone explain?

thanks, xtc.

Do they turn off as you apply the brakes or just when you have come to a complete stop?

[xtc]

its when i come to a complete stop. the side lights still stays on but just the main ones. its actually pretty cool as once i let go brakes and car starts rolling forward it turns back on. any ideas? modded? or wiring problem? also ive noticed that my exhaust is making wierd noises. like it sounds normal then seems like it once to stall once every 5 seconds, ive checked the idling but it doesnt move up and down that much. any probs here? keeep in mind its auto trans again.

What happens with the lights if you shift to neutral? I'd suggest the alternator is dying, and isn't able to supply sufficient voltage at idle (with tranny loading engine) to keep the lights going.

Otherwise, you have a really serious wiring problem.

ive just checked what happens if i put it ino neutral still happens. apparently i then fiddled with a few more buttons on the automatic when i suddenly noticed it was one of the *reduced lights on and off* that did this. so guess everything is fine with the car. just had a mate check and serviced it, needed new oil, coolant flush and new spark plugs.

anyway while im at it anyone knows what intercooler i should get to replace original one?
