And conveniently, for anyone that wants to run their Halos full time, the green/red wire you cut supplies accessories power, so I am pretty sure if you wired that up to the red wire to your Angel Eyes ballast, you will have Angel Eyes on whenever your car is on. I am still thinking about doing this myself.

If you fancy a more detailed video

Come on guys surely if it is this simple we don't need to take it anywhere!!!!!!!!

This video is awesome! Now I know what I need, which is the HID socket. I'm getting confused, the ballast and igniter are the same thing right? Sorry, I'm no lighting or electrical guru.

You really need a new one. You are missing the chrome connector on the other end that is part of the ignitor system.

So these (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/350Z-OEM-Infiniti-FX35-FX45-QX56-Xenon-HID-Igniter-Ignitor-Murano-Maxima-Rogue-/330580363365?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4cf8200865#ht_1372wt_1378) won't do the job?

Yes a ballast and igniter are the same thing - but I think the little chrome thing that plugs into the back of your globe is also part of the igniter system.

But to be clear, if you already had a ballast screwed into the bottom of your oem lights, the part you (and many people) need is the cable he pulls out of one light and refits in the other - one end clips into the back of the ballast (and is held in by a little screw), and the other end is a near square looking chrome thing that plugs into the back of the HID globe.

I just only watched the video today and thats what made me realise I need the "igniter/ballast to bulb" wire. So I think everything is all clear now, just need to get that and some bulbs. Yeah, I didn't troll every post on this thread and was too excitied to get the new headlights in and forgot the small details. So sick of seeing my rotten right hand side headlight and now I have to see it longer, serves me right I guess... :verymad: LOL!

New headlights are in! They look amazing. Only complains are that the LED strip is not bright enough and you can't actually see them from an angle and the H1 high beams that came with the lights are rubbish.

Alvin, did you manage to get your turn signal lights (the yellow ones facing the front) to remain off while the led strips and the halos are on in parkers mode?

Then get these for high beam

LED has 2 brightness settings. they are low level when you turn outer light stalk to auto,parkers or on and then become brighter when you turn the inner light stalk switch to on.. I think if you give the halos full power with green/red wire you cut from your indicator wiring then they will be at the brighter setting.. i will have to test out.

Night stalker, that would be much appreciated if you can post that up here asap. i have one headlight apart deciding if i will change the cutoff of my LHD ones or not.. thx

When you say the inner light stalk switch, do you mean the fog light switch?

I think that is what it is. I turned it on a couple of times at Garage Cafe and others told me that all it did was turned up the brightness of the leds by a notch.

On your indicator stalk, move in from where you switch the headlights on. The 'fog' lights are actually the lower filament in the dual filament high beam. But the H1 globe that comes with the new headlights only has a single filament, and I am not sure if the Philips ones you bought are single or dual filament Paul.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
