Hey

ive installed led tail lights into my r34 today [ bday present from my gf ] but only the brake light works when i step the brake, the rest of the time they stay off, ive opened the fuse box and replaced the fuse but it keeps blowing. right now all my dash lights dont work along with my park lights.

has anyone else had this problem? i have put the stock 10 in but that blew so i tried 15 but it didnt last a second kept trying to the 25 and that last a second then it just blew. these tail lights are new and if i cant get them working tonight ill take it back to the store tomorrow

can someone please leave some input on how to resolve this or if your a auto sparky thats free on this crappy friday night i could really use your help

Thanks

lol @ the 25amp fuse. i hope it didnt melt the harness!

its blowing coz theres a short, a higher rated fuse wont help, and ur going from bulbs to leds so ur new tail lights will actually draw less current then your old ones. u'll never need anything higher then a 10amp

id help u out but im going to bed soon ive got work in the morning and ive still gotta find out if my car is a write off or repairable - yay for 3grand excess!

    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
    • Assuming that they will come off without damage at all.... i would have thought just pull straight up off the spindle with a something or other than can reach underneath. Have you searched for youtube vids of people doing similar on R34s or any other Nissan from the same vintage? They should be the same technique, in all likelihhood.
    • Keeping in mind that sandblasting is really aggressive on softer metals like cast alloy, and you can do damage that you might regret. For trash wheels, not a problem. For wheels with value/scarcity issues, etc.... perhaps a less aggressive media is a better choice?
