I'm definitely in, based on what else is needed to fit them... All listings state cars with factory HID's...However, most are removed for compliance.. If it's pretty straight forward to get these working... im in for a BLACK HOUSING set.. 2003 Coupe

^^^ incorrect. Despite the fact that Aus compliance states that ALL factory HIDs without self-levelling and self-washing facilities need to be removed to meet ADRs, when I was shoppping for a V35 I couldn't find one without HIDs! I think there are WAY more with HIDs than without.

But if you buy an aftermarket HID kit which are as cheap as $200 now you could fit them into these new lights with basic meachnical/auto electrical skills. You only need to modify a couple of wires, and install a power wire to the battery on a relay. I did it on my S15 and R34 - pretty easy job!

the seller said Zenki (early) and Kouki (late) models are both ok.

Confirmed List:

Chrome housing:

1. 4evershiva

2. 81gSKy y

3.Nightcrawler

4. Thinktea

Black housing:

DO you have a pic of the back of these lights? im curious if the have the factor HID hole that fits the ballast and then you run the wires through the headlights and then use the HID bulb??

See the below pic, look at the area above the white box, thats where the factory HID ballast goes..

my car has hid lights, couldnt tell you if they are factory. they where there when i bought it. im not the first owner in aust. but if they will work with any hid's ill def be in for a chrome set. thanks

hey Sheldon, can you give a plain and simple answer so everyone's question can be answered.......i know you had some trouble to get the LHD to RHD in your lights but apart from that is it a big deal to get the lights fixed into the car with RHD specifications and is it legal?

Jesse's Payment options:Direct your enquiries to [email protected]

for a larger order like this an international transfer will work out a

little cheaper.

bank charges and options are as follows.

Paypal <- will be instant and you have buyer protection, Im also

protected from exchange rate changes as I can send you the bill in

JPY. Has a 4% fee and they dont give the advertised exchange rate ,

works out the most expensive way to transfer money.

Local transfer in AUD to my NAB account <-this has no buyer

protection, Im open to exchange rate changes so can be burnt if the

AUD takes a quick dive. no straight fees but the rate they give is

~3.3yen down on the advertised exchange rate. This is how I do most

of my transfers from Aus due to ease of transfer for the customer and

cheaper rates than Paypal.

International Transfer <- slow, a little complicated for you to send

money, takes a week for the money to clear into my Japanese account.

No buyer protection. They will give the advertised exchange rate and

as the money can be sent in JPY Im safe from exchange rate changes.

They do have large flat fees though, depending on the bank you use

on your side fees range from $0 to $25 and then there is an additional

4000yen receiving fee on my side. This kind of transfer only works

well with transfers over ~$1500 worth (this is how most car exporters

move money around)

Im ok with any of those ways so which ever suits you is ok.

*Ill only need the purchase cost of the tail lights up front and will

charge my commission and shipping costs after they have reached me and

have been weighed up.

I should allaborate a bit on my previous post - for everyones benefit.

Long story short;

- Factory HID's - Fitted straight into my Headlights from the U.S. They sit perfectly in the aftermarket metal clip and the ballast screws to the bottom - per stock set up.

- Yes - you can do it yourself - there is no wiring required - unless you want to light up the Halo's (I only have the LED sttip). In which case - Cut wire and solder it in. The front bumper needs to be removed. give yourself 5 hours or so if you havent dont this before from start to finish.

- NO they will not be legal. However - most workshops will give you a roadworthy but just notify you that if you're asked to take them out due to defect - do it.

- The lights will not point correctly immediateley after install.... you will need to spend time toggling the left and right / up and down screws in the back of the lights. You need to understand where the stock set up points - so you can adjust accordingly. Test this about 15M from a wall and If possible mark on the wall where the stock set up sits. On the V series you will notice the left light points slightly higher and to the side of the road. The right hand light (the one that will shine in traffic's eyes) needs to be put as low and straight as practically possible. This can alleviate some of the problems with no self leveling.

If anyone needs tips, Im happy to help out. Done the job on two cars now....and I work in Bank - so any one can do it!

Cheers

Thanks for the info dude but we are planning on getting these from japan, which should be RHD compliant, so we dont have to fiddle with the light settings.......

*** Light comes on in Brain***

My bad - yes i see that now! Best of luck with it.

I can recommend importmonster.com.au in that case. Lots of OEM bits.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
