Hi Guys,

A few questions here regarding the headlights on the M35.

1. For a while now I've had problems with the headlights cutting out (many times every time I drive it). It used to be only the passenger side lamp and figured I could swap the ballasts over to see if that's the problem however now it's both so I guess that isn't an option any more. I am assuming it's the ballast anyway but any thoughts as to how I would tell given that both cut out (at separate intervals - not at the same time).

2. Any one know what ballasts we can use? Preferably cheap ones? Or official model numbers?

3. I personal find the lamps pretty dull (doesn't help that you can't adjust them any higher than about 2ft in front of the car), any suggestions for a brighter bulb?

4. My passenger side parker lamp is also out, does anyone know the model number or aftermarket options?

Sorry about all the questions but any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks all,

My headlights are perfect, with oem burners. Are you sure you have HID's? They are supposed to be converted to halogen for compliance, and that would definitely make them dull, and the spread would be shitefull.

I have a spare set of headlamps here if you need them, but if both are switching off at the same time, you might want to change the relay box first.

Nah they are definitely HIDs. Thanks heaps for the offer, I ordered some globes so I'm gonna see if that's the problem and it's just coincidental that they are both going so I guess we'll see. But one definitely started doing this before the other and they are progressively getting worse so maybe it is just the burners *fingers crossed*

Thanks!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
