Xenon Hid Re-install Help

Hi guys,

I have had my stagea for a few months now, was happy with the halogens that were put in during compliance, however i asked them to keep the plugs and globes for me.

So the other day my drivers side halogen light went out, so I decided it was time to install the xenons.

The big plug for the HID globes was just tucked in there, so pulled it out and plugged in the globe, but no luck.

Here is a pic of the headlights & wiring, hopefully it is something that compliance has done in rigging up the halogens as there is two wires that have been cut as shown below.

Hopefully someone can tell me what the problem is!

Cheers

Sam

hey mate...

all you need to do is get power to the cut wires when headlights are on.... from what i can see they have taken off the plug that the loose one plugs into...

i rekn all you gota do it cut the plug that was dangling... and crimp it to the wires that are cut :).... remember not to touch your xenon globes!... a there f**kING hot... b you dont want prints on them as it can blow them...(not cheap)

yep, works a treat. Thanks for your help.

Its quite simple really, but I thought it wasnt that as I couldnt find anything on here that related, as im sure this is what most compliance shops do.

Anyway hopefully this thread help more people with their HID / xenon wiring to reinstall after compliance.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
