hey guys,

does anyone know what the bulb size is for the driving lights that often sit in the lower front bar on Dayz edition S2 stageas??? got the globe out and the light, but no markings on either to indicate the size and it isn't in the manual.

any help much appreciated.

cheers, mat

are you refering to the bottom fog lights situated in the air dam.

I'm pretty sure that when i replaced my yellow globes with plain white globes they were H1 globes

I work at a holden dealer so i just grabbed some off the shelf.

if worse comes to worse, pull yours out and get super crrap auto to match them up

yeah mate, globes pull out of the connector. I still have to pull them apart again and remove the little metal covers.

It doesn't get too foggy down here on the coast, i'd rather have them for spotlights when i'm driving at night

great, thanks for that guys.

have relocated the lights to the outer vents on the front bar - now for a HID kit - once i get them ligned up properly it's going to be like daylight on the backroads!

a bit more research, and i'm fairly convinced they are HB3. i have downloaded a size schematic, so i'll measure it up at home.

you might be right in that the bulb is H1 - but if i want to go to a HID kit, i can't use the H1 bulb as the wiring to the ballast connects directly to the bulb base, and there would be nothing to hold it in place.

(the stock wiring clips into a 90 degree base (HB3), and the H1 globe slots into that). i'll post my findings.

whilst on subject of spot lights. i am getting some dayz foggies and relocating to the side vents aswell. this is to make way for the 32 gtr fmic. we get a fair bit of fog in the gully, where we live near the hills. i will crack em open to find out what globe they take for a part number ref. these are for a s1, so im betting they are slightly different, S2 look different, can someone confirm? i will try to find a pic.

smokey -did you have to make mounting brackets to fit them and line them up dead straight? no probs with the headlights, they have levellers.

i'd say they'd be the same between s1 and s2. they are a CIBIE brand light if that helps.

there are no markings on the globes or the actual housings - i looked.

and yep, i made brackets just using some 90 degree angle brackets, bolted into the underside of the reo. alignment will be a case of doing some bending of the brackets, loosening of the bolts and a bit of hammer time i'd say haha.

QUESTION: how do you switch them on! i can't get them to fire up, but i dont exactly know if what i'm doing is right. is the rocker switch to the right of the steering wheel the right one? because it has two positions and neither do anything, even with the lights on.

and beyond that, where is the fuse for them?

I turn mine on with the indicator stalk, same as the factory fog lights

then I have a rocker switch to the left of my steering column down near the handbrake release which switches between yellow foggies in the front bar and driving lights in the lower air dam.

Thanks Big Fella,

can you do me a favour - can you have a peek in there and see if there is a green lead wire running off the back of your yellow lights in the front bar down to the foggies in the air dam? based on that either/or switching function you just described, it might have something to do with why mine won't fire - because that wire is just hanging loose. i tested it with a multimeter and go nothing so i figured it was useless and cut it off.....

Yes smokey the bottom lights have a wire running from the yellow lights/blinkers to the lower fog lights, both plugs come from the same loom so u may have cut urs off, oh and the globes are very easy to come by, got new ones from super cheap auto, think the globe type from memory was H1 12v 55w

ah feck.

so i'm figuring it must be some sort of relay trigger wire, or it's an earth so that when you hit the switch for the lower fogs, the orange fogs cut out.

any ideas how i'm going to work this one out????

  • 2 months later...

didnt end up wiring them up. i live in an apartment building so body corporate forbids working on cars in the garage.....so never managed to get round to it.

but your choices are - use the factory loom if present, and find out which wire is the trigger wire. i'm guessing that because you can only switch on either the front bar lights, or the driving lights using the rocker switch - one of them gets grounded and the other becomes open. so that wire between the two is probably a ground wire. so get the ground wire off the front bar lights, and splice it into the ground wire on your CIBIEs. if that doesnt work - try splicing the power wires together.

other option is to run a relay harness as per my other thread. get a HB3 specific one and it will be plug'n'play. that way you can have all lights on if needed. powahhh!

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
