hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me..

awhile back i installed Xenon's into my car to replace the normal headlight globes, and

due to a smash i had, the panel beaters i took it to got s2 lights on my s1 r33, which look great.

but there is one problem, when i first installed them one of the lights where way to high and blinding

on coming traffic, which is funny, but dangerous.. so i thought i fixed it, but im still getting a flash every now and

again..

my question is how do i adjust them? there is 3 knobs i can turn, but one is for the high beams,

and the other 2 i dont know what they do and one is a real pain in the ass to get to.

so does any one know which knob i should be turning in order to lower my headlights?

thanks.

Try adjusting the ones that are a pain in the arse to get to. They're usually the ones that adjust your headlights.

When you say you installed 'xenon's' do you mean HID lights? If you did, that'll be the reason everyone's flashing you right there. Have a search about HIDs into R33's reflectors to find out why.

Occassional flashes nowadays mean 3 things

1. You're lights are too high.

2. You're lights are too bright.

3. You're giving you the 'heads up' for nearby cops.

So yeah, could be either one dude!

for the gap.. there is none... since i smashed the front of my car.. the whole front n bonnet got replaced lol, all through insurance, total for the repair for my car was 5,000 lol

if i need bulbs ill pm you straight away .. thanks man :)

lol dont think its the coppers, coz then i get an evil stare when i drive past them lmao. i'm going

to take it to an auto electrician when i've got some spare time, see wtf i can do :D

i'll post a pic up of them tonight :)

    • Ha, I've never pressed the X in all these years incase it removed the notification for all Admins
    • I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.
    • Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!
    • I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)
    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
