You wont be able to use they factory HID setup on the sedan lights, there is no mount or hole for the factory setup.

There is just a rubber cap over the back of the globes, which is the only access for the wiring.

You will require an after market set of HID for this to be possible.

Easy partner!!! I believe once all has paid he then has to go on the yahoo auction thingy and once he has the headlights he then will contact us for the shipping. From there depending on the type of shipping requested you will have them within 5 days. He did mention of some public holidays over ther in japan, maybe thats the hold up?

Although it has been a while!!!!!

With regards to Jesse purchasing the lights he would be going directly to the supplier.

I regards to the HID setup for the sedan lights, you will not be able to reuse the original setup. Go and buy an aftermarket set of H7 HID's, when you get the new headlights, remove the two wires going into the low beam section and cut them. Now solder these two wires to the power input on the aftermarket HID kit.

The series one sedan factory HID setup is in two parts, the ballast under the headlamp and the igniter module inside the headlight (which requires dismantling of the headlight to get to it). The series 2 sedan and all of the coupe's these two components were combined into the one unit under the headlight.

So retain the factory harness ditch the factory ballast with the factory lights, (do the new ones have halogens in them already?) And replace with aftermarket hid's, that's cool I get em cheap as threw work.

The new lights will come with a harness already attatched, when you unplug and remove your original headlight the harness stays with it you wont require anything off it. You will be splicing into the new harness on the new light.

Nice to see that there are 4 units paid for in full with shipping. I was wondering if anyone has anymore pictures of these lights that they could post on here? Excitement will build even more then while looking at what we are getting soon!!!

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
