A couple of weeks ago my head lights stopped working, replaced them with the same bulb (H1) as they had for compliance. Worked for a couple of hours then the headlights, dash lights ( the ones for the aircon, radio etc) and tail lights all stopped working. I have checked fuses, and relays (could not locate a head light relay) and can't seem to find the issue. The instrument cluster still works apart from gear selection which also went out.

The H1's seem to be wired into the park lights and there is another set of wires that have been crimped off coming from a box bolted to the side of the head light.

I am at a loss of what to check, any other ideas or have i missed some fuses or relays.

If I leave the head light switch on it still "dings" as I get out of the car.

Two other issues with the car - Air Bag light, attempted every re set i can find on the net and nothing has worked so far,

and turbo gauge ( factory) is intermittent in working. I remember doing a search on google and hitting a link on this site that had the fix. So far can't find it again so any helps in locating that would be great.

Sounds like dodgy compliance with the wiring, I would take it back. (and ask for the hid's to be replaced. hehe.)

Airbag, mine comes up every time I disconnect the battery. simple reset clears it. (I turn the ignition on, wait for the airbag light to come on then switch the ignition off. I do that 5 times and it stays off.)

I put up a repair for the boost sensor a while back if you do a search, easy fix with a soldering iron.

Will try and find that post. Tried the re set and no luck.

run it past tuesday and I'll have a look. I have a scan tool so I can tell you WHY the bag light is on.

PM me the name on the pink plate that is inside the passenger door as well - curious who did this one.

Havent had a chance to get the car into Chris to check (got to love shift work), but today while waiting for a mate I tried all the air bag re sets again. And the for once one seems to have worked.

Still no idea on the light issues but wil keep checking things untill i get some time off to get it over there,

If anyone has a sugestion on what to check, please post it up

    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
