RSX84 did you get anywhere by removing the lenses and cleaning the reflectors ?

I've just put 90/100's in mine for a monor improvement . To adjust the beam there are two stalk/screws one above the other which both adjust height ? I cannot seem to adjust the beams from side to side , any idea what gives ?

Thanks A .

Well guys, my first front cut had a special loom for the headlights. It provides a 30 amp bosch relay for every globe, coupled with IPF globes, I think the lights are outstanding.

The original globes that came with the front cut were 80 series PIAA, but the IPF's are equally as good and half the price. The loom is also about an inch thick, with all wires bound as one.

The new IPF globes are high output, low draw, which is the go now because of the lexan polycarbonate reflectors & lenses going into new cars today.

My H4's are 130/110 output but only draw 60/55. The H1's are 150 output and only 65W draw.

I also have a set of Ralliart H4's, that I'm yet to look at, but are 170/130 with 100/90 draw and these are considered very near H.I.D.

Maybe you should be looking at a setup like this.

And I have a Bluebird alternator set up (rewound) as 80amp, if someone wants to try playing with it. Prefer it to stay in Sydney as I would like it back sort of maybe.

Cheers,

Is IPF a brand or type of globe ?

Again can someone PLEASE tell me how to adjust the inner Takamon lights to the left so they dont point strait ahead . My car has thin std headlight wiring , but short plug in sections of heavier gauge wire . Are all 84 models the same ?

Cheers A .

Adrian,

IPF is the brand name of the globes. They are a Japanese auxilliary light manufacturer just like PIAA.

I bought the globes from 4WD Equipment on Milperra Rd Milperra, just near Flower Power.

As for adjustment, mine have 2 adjusters, same as standard MR headlights. Maybe yours are stuffed or broken.

Cheers,

D

If your getting good lighting fom the Tekamon's yours is the only one .

I just had a thought , my inner lights have two adjusting bolts and they both make for up or down . If I screw them BOTH in or out the beams should move from side to side ...... :Oops:

There may be a set of R30 camber adjustable strut tops up for grabs soon .

Cheers A .

a week ago we wired in a setup for relays ect, and made a huge improvement, even on the standerd Artuic blue bulbs.

Im currently using 3 30amp Relays and so forth, 150/130 high/low beams and only 100w high beams. and i tell it IT THROWS the light,

Ive noticed on all R30 head lights the reflectors turn black or brown, and the plating comes off :S, would chrome dipping the reflectors help ?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
