Got sick of my dated headlights so I just ordered these :P

shoulda got these ones...

I'm surprised at how many cars share the same sized unit! Like even old RX7s etc. It's good :woot:

Why's it surprise you? It's a standard ISO size that most manufacturers used for pop up headlights. RX7, MR2, Z31, 180SX, MX5, S12, Prelude(or is it integra?) all use the same.

Now I just gotta decide what globes to run. Might take the HID route (like 4300 or 6000k) or just a whiter standard globe (philips crystal vision or something).

don't put HID's into non projectors you gimp. You'll blind every kent on the road with your badly focussed beams.

shoulda got these ones...

I don't like the look of those ones. Have seen them on another car and not a fan of the round bit in the middle.

Yeah, I don't like HIDs.. but I want a clear white light. What are my other options?

get halogen bulbs colour temp rated about 6000K. 5200K is natural sunlight, 6000K is crisp white.

Yeah, 6000k would be perfect. I had 8000ks in my old MR2 and it was a bit too blue. Suited a black car but won't look good on red.

Where do I get them? Autobarn sell Crystal Vision but I don't think they're even close to 6000k...

I'm a big fan of sleepy eye conversions on pop ups, with any of these headlamps instead of standard ones:

I was going to go for REV6 headlights while the US dollar was strong but they're out of stock and I didn't want to wait another month.

Oh well, the raybrigs look pretty good anyway. They're 1/4 the price too. Just gotta source the globes.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
