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:

1.Dreadnought

2.Megahowler

3.Runner4life

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 have attached the link below.

Took me and A mate about 5 hours - hard bit is getting front bumper off. But second time its simple with practice. Sock might be easier - have the nismo one.

Post me with any questions mate.

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.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
