R33 Sii Headlight Issue

[Sloane]

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

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.

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 ??

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.
