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.

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.

So these (http://www.ebay.com....#ht_1372wt_1378) won't do the job?

Yes, that is the EXACT item I posted up a page back !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS WHAT YOU NEED. Didn't you watch the video? Sheesh.

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.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
