Hi

my left headlight is playing up and bascially wont come on.

its been doing this a for a lil while now and i usually give it a tap and all is good :D

but last night it hasnt seem to come on at all.

i looked at just jap to see about getting some nice brand new one's

but was stunned to see they want $1200!!!!! ;)

atm im just going to take the head light off to check the wiring hasnt come loose or the bulb has blown.

but assuming i got new headlights with the new bulbs... is there anywhere cheaper then just jap??

If its not a blown globe..

Does your hi beam on the lhs work? if not its most likely your headlight switch (in cabin indicator/ headlight switch) there like $80 from just jap or $40 from the fs section of the forum.

If you really want to change your headlights, try yahoo japan they have brand new ones pop up every now and then.

yeh my hi beam works still.

atm still figuring out how to take off head light off as there is a tight squeeze to check

You will have to take the front bar and grill off, there is a couple of 10mm bolts at the back, on top of the light and one on the inner guard.

bit of a mission but got front bar off and the headlight off...

as suspected it was a blown globe.

so where would everyone reccomend to go to get a replacement? would super cheap or autobahn be fine?

also interested as to how to remove the black plastic mud flap things am i suppose to just hammer the pop screws ??

Edited by Greddy Skyline

figured out how to get the pop screws out.

i also rung up Nissan Southport and they wanted $680 EACH!!! omg i thought just jap were pricey

anyway now im just after a globe to replace current ones

anyone have any recommendations.

Take the bulb into repco or autobarn and ask for a replacement.. from memory there H3 but dont quote me on that..

Phillip Diamond vision are awesome, but pricey.. $50 a set of 2.

i was thinking about getting this HID kit

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
