R33 S1 light problems (park lights, S2Wing lights, fog lights = don't work)

[Kaido_RR]

hey!

I seem 2 be finding more and more problems with my skyline as time goes on but i can live with it.

will 2day i was checking my lights and i found about 3problems.

1st:

The lights in my S2 Wing don't work - now it isnt a problem with the wiring or anything like that (that was check and there is current flowing through it) so the lights inside the wing arnt work my question is where can i get a replace lights set (as i am guessing you just replace the hole thing not just the light in side it)

would it be cheaper 2 buy a s2 wing and just take out the led night thingo and replace it with mines.

2nd:

My park light on the right side of my car is blown (doesnt work) where can i find a replacment globe (can i replace it with those blue lights) also how do you get it out - i try 2 have alook 2night but it was getting dark and i couldn't see how 2 get it out

3rd:

I have a nismo front bar (photo at http://www.pbase.com/13_devil) and it has a set of lights on it, it looks like it has lights inside it other than the turning yellow ones, (look like fog lights) problem is i don't know how 2 turn them on, should they just turn on or do i need 2 wire up a switch? (i couldnt see where the wiring was going from the fogs lights as like i said above it was getting dark)

thanks mike

p.s i am going to morely 2morrow before i start work any place i can go 2 pick up those park lights?

the front bar lights that are larger and clear which are supposed to light up according to some people definately do not light up

the reason i am sure is because these blinkers have been pulled from another line which i have no doubt has the "special stalk" which has the fog light switch built into it. Alot of owners will tell you that they cant get the lights to light up either but that i believe is because alot of line have been in accidents and they just get replaced with any front bar lights that can be found.

i did a search of the forums when i picked the car up and came to the conclusion that the car needs a different steering column (headlight) stalk in order to work. The solution would be to hook up another switch to the wiring loom that is coming from the back of the fog light portion of the indicator and that should do it.

Paul at Autoworx in wangara is able to fix the rear light very cheaply but you will need to uncrew the led and pull it apart so that he can replace a part in it that burns out and then it works.

the hard part is heating up the glue that binds it and then pulling it apart.

I ran out of time to do this. but it is easily fixed and you dad will be able to fix it.

Paul said if I wanted he could show me the part that needed changing. It like a $20 repair

the lens cost etc is very expensive brand new through nissan, which is why he tried to see how it can be fixed. especially because the light cannot be swapped with a series 1, cos I have a series 1 that works but he said its no good.

the park lights can be bought from most places, but Aspec in perth has some cool blue super bright LED ones, that give off a blue/silver tinge, but they arent as super bright as you would expect.

very nice and rice though.

i think $10 a pair

that should answer all your questions.

phew that was hard work

[Kaido_RR]

thanks riaz ,

I think i will give the fog like wiring a go 2morrow- i think it will be hard as i cant get under the car (dame it is too low ) but i was thinking of wiring the fog lights 2 that switch that doesnt do anything in the middel (u know the 1 i am talking about)

i think i will just get a the white light park lights - dont have the time or money to get the ricer stlye ones (and dont really want them 2)

(riaz would you be able to find out the part that needs 2 be fix as im sure my dad could get it from his work and then we will just fix it)

[NO_RSPECT]

no worries,

will try and call tomorrow

i was actually thinking about the same switch

lol

i will PM when i find out

[Kaido_RR]

thank riaz, and remember im no rice boy

dude,

what you're after with the fog light (make sure they are lights as most of the cars Ive seen dont actually have the lights - they just look like they do) is a relay.

then you should be able to run the lights straight off the battery without loading up the rest of your electrics.

[SHUTO-BOY]

solution to all your problems

bring it to an auto electrition.There was once the contact lead thingy for my front headlight switch was loose so they did everything for me.I sent my car to the one opposite DALCOS panel and paint somewhere near welshpool/bentley

[NO_RSPECT]

aidwin there isnt actually any means of turning the light on or off, which is why he needs a switch, oh and an auto electrician is very very very very close to him indeed

sorry to hear your finding a few things wrong with ya car... when i bought mine i also found a few minor LITTLE things that need fixing here and there (like the fact i dont even have a dimmer switch for the dash, thers just a hole where it used to be? wierd ass .... anyone know where i can get one ?)

also, without hijacking the thread (as it is also about headlights), how hard is it to angle my headlights downwards a bit, ive heard the lights can be angled cus at the moment mine look like high beams cus it shines right into other drivers eyes rather than down onto the road. (Dont they Strich9ine )

[darkprince]

HEY Devil

Did u find you how to take out those damn park lights???

[ix9]

Yeah, Mirkz, your lights piss me off

As for the dimmer switch... if you didnt have one, and you didnt have a hole I'ld give you my whole dash facia. I disconnected my dimmer anyway. I wanna remove it, but I don't wanna be stuck with a giant hole!

[MirKz]

ahaha kym,

yeah help me angle the bastards downwards if u know how next time were out n about.

and with the dimmer switch, mine has been there previously, but no longer exists (just a hole in the dash ) ive looked for wiring that would have been connected to it and cant find anything either so i dunno.

[NO_RSPECT]

sound like a remote start button will fit there nicely.

or nos button

[zanda]

mirkz, the dimmer switch is just a variable resistor. cost you about $2.50 from jaycar or altronics. just rig the dash light power through it.

[MirKz]

ahhh k cheers zanda but i aint good with electronics ... so i will have to get someone else to do it 4 me

my car is also missing the manual start button (the one under the keyhole).

but im not TOO fussy about that cus it makes it that lil bit easier for me to start.

[fane]

manual start button? wtf?

[MirKz]

yeah u have to hold the button in and turn the key at the same time i think ... not 100 % sure as ive never seen one in use, but yeah. i THINK thats what its for. wierd ass stuff

[dan_the_man]

Here's the switch you would have if ur car came with factory fog lights installed

[MirKz]

i have that fog light switch ahaha (GO ME!)
