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..

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -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).
