actually just did some reading. would be better to get aftermarket HID's as the ballast would have been removed from the headlight along with oter components that the car came with from fatory.

all good thread can be closed sory lol

fark it cold out :D

anyway took off hes headlight but hes xenons are different to urs, maybe because its a NA

but the yellow wire plug should go into the resistor and the 2 wires should go into the back of the middle globe, there will be a rubber gromet with 2 wires there most likely.

actually shouldnt be to hard to fix, solder the globe wires and then plug in the yellow wire plug and solder the other 2 wires

edit: ill be at my missus' saturday in lalor if you want me to try and fix it

NA's didn't have xenons

unless its a gt-v maybe?

what do the parkers look like?

a circle, or a square?

ye i figured out where the other wires go apart from the yellow on.

no you say should be plugged at the back of the light.

this is the back of the light here

im thinking the yellow plug could be connectors for the headlight adjustment from inside the car.

prob be easy to pull the headlight out and see if anything else is tucked in there.

thanks anyways nick. it is pretty cold outside lol

r34 xenons dont have washers, so they are illegal

sorry for jumping in your thread like that ashneel.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
