R32 Headlight Fuse?

I recently replaced my original H1 light globes with HID's but had problems with the new set up. The HID headlights worked fine for a day until the driver's side went out completely. I hooked up the ballast to the passenger side and it still worked so assumed it wasn't a malfunctioning ballast. About a week later the same happened on the passenger side headlight. I replaced the old plastic light bulb terminal with spade terminals, to see if there was poor contact in the connections. As they still didn't work I checked all the fuses i could find and replaced the RH/headlight fuse which was blown and also replaced the flasher relay. I then pulled apart the dash to check the headlight switch and the little spring system in it, but that looked fine. Since then i'm all out of ideas. The parkers and high beams work fine but the HID's just wont power up. I'm wondering if theres a fuse i could have missed or something else? I think the dipped beams and high beams run through the same fuse, so I its unusual that high beams still work. Any help would be great, cheers.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
