I bought my car with aftermarket H1 HID's already installed but I wanna change them back to normal H1 halogen bulbs, the ground wire seems to be bolted to the headlight connecting it to the ground wire that runs to the ballast. I disconnected the ballast live wire from the live wire on the headlight and replaced it with the halogen bulb but it doesn't light up. Could it be the grounding?

Help :unsure:

U need a multi meter of some sort to ensure 2 things:

1: you have correct voltage

2: the ground you are using is a good solid ground of these 2 things are good than it must be the globe. Don't forget u can't touch the halo globes with ur fingers u need to use a cloth or

A rag.

    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
    • I ordered it this morning, I'll disassemble it post pic's and info following delivery.
