Hey guys,

I'm looking to get a set of HID's for my butchered and converted H1 headlights.

Before I purchase a kit, I had a scout around the back of my headlights to see how easily I could install them and could not see any way of installing them without taking the whole headlight out and pulling it apart because of how the compliance conversion was done.

Has anyone installed a kit without taking out the headlights or have any ideas?

Cheers!

Tim

Okay, so my compliance conversion is completely different to all the others I've seen. Seems hacking a hole and sealing it up with gasket goo is compliance standard...

I currently don't have a hole through the headlight cover on the back like the ones i've seen, so I guess drilling it out will be the best option.

Thanks for those who PM'd me!

did mine, best mod or un-mod ive done to the Stagea, H1s were literally dangerous at night. Not too hard if you are handy with electrics, no need to remove bar to remove lights.

I got some butchered stock ballasts and just re installed the stock wiring with some new d2r sockets. Just one recomendation don't buy cheap bulbs they don't last long enough for it to be worth saving a few dollars.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
