Hey guys, as some of you may know i have a white aero kitted m35.

i was actually thinking about selling the car until yesterday! when i cleaned it and spent 5 hours clay baring the thing!

NOW ive fallen inlove again!... anyway the only thing that i HATE about my car is the terrible YELLOW fog lights in the aero bar!!!!

Does anyone know what kind of bulb it is?

whats the easiest way to get to them (before i start breaking things i thought id ask)

Where can i get different coloured bulbs!

also slightly offtopic

theres 2 buttons near the geatstick... synchro and snow.. can someone tell me what these do? mass noob question... but im a noob!

thanks guys!

merry christmas!

Search is your friend, especially regarding the Syncro/Snow button

Fog lights are yellow and not white because they are fog lights.

White lights light up fog like a wall in front of your car whereas yellowish lights can penetrate it somewhat.

Globes? Again, a search for M35 Fog Light Bulb returned 1 thread

Agree with iamhe77. The purpose of them is gone if you change them, the road becomes invisible when there is fog.

If you really want to change them you can get ballast kits for around $100 of ebay with the H4 globe included.

BUT! they are pretty dangerous as they can overheat and cause fires, and cops dont like them, and you'll also have to find a spot to bolt the ballast's to.

or you can get higher Kalvin halogen globes, but anything over 4300K (correct if wrong) is illeagle also

thanks guys, personally i think the lights in my car are frikin terrible... its hard to explain

i have all the genuine globes n stuff thats in it from japan except my 1st set of parkers is BLUE. theres a switch in the dash to turn my parkers from headlight parkers to fog lights. (does everyone else have this switch?, i would love to be able to get both of them on at the same time. perfect for evening)

anyway i know when it comes in for complaiance they change the lights or whatever but, not the case with mine as my unc imported it and pulled a few strings....

now the visibility with the fog lights and headlights on (half the headlight kinda evil looking,) its okay... its only amazing when i angle the lights up to level 3, but then i get people flashing me because its too bright, now im a friendly guy so i leave it on 0 all the time (pointed to the ground)

the visibilty range isnt HUGE but its f**king clear...

im not sure if it has something to do with my driving style, im constantly searching the road for big bumps and dips as my cars low and scrapes lol..(finally got around to lowering the coilovers)

in terms of fog... there isnt much where i live... and i usually wouldnt do this, but im happy to sacrifice purpose for aesthetics. i for the life of me cannot f**king stand the ugly yellow, looks dated!

this being said i saw an odessy with pink fog lights.. looked awesome. so a change of colour is definatley on the list!

sorry for my all over the place reply.

lol pink?

well if you get the HID Kit you can actually match the Kalvin rating to your Headlight's HID, means they are the same colour and same illumination. a positive is that they are all plug and play!

Its a rare thing for them to catch fire, but they can thats all. try keep them away from water, IE rain, puddles etc.

i dont know about the switch i have an ARX. but maybe you could connect the wiring to eachother and attach a seperate switch to the lower fog lights, so you can have them both on, or only one set on?

I would also get white parkers so that they dont stand out with the car. it will give it a classier look as well. but thats IMO.

My sisters V35 has all 8000k lights in the fog and the headlights. also the parkers are white. looks really nice!

personally i love the yellow keeps it retro and JDM.. and yes way better in the fog.. back in my 4WDing days i used to have the yellow covers for my lightforce spotties on my patrol when the fog was heavy they made so much difference..

I have the switch your talking about on my light toggle, i dont have fog lights in my bar though i have xenon low beam and the high beam globes are yellow fog lights at low beam and white at high beam. complicated but it works well..

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
