Got myself a set of s2 tail lights and installed them on the weekend. They all work fine and look really good i reckon. Only problem is now i get a light on the dash when i turn the headlights on. Though last night it went out for a little while and then came back on again.

Is that light supposed to come on when your headlights are on? Or what does it mean if it's on?

Also when changing the tail lights, there is a green plug on the same loom as the tail lights which doesn't plug into anything. Anyone know what it's for?

that's an earth, son, the green thing is an earthing plug, i can't really explain where it goes exactly

but here goes,

there is a steel clip which points downwards, it is located towards the middle of the boot, it is concealed beneath the plastics which surround the lights, it should be fairly self explanitory, but i guess it could be a bit tricky just reading this, it's like, up the top of the boot tub, above the light the green thingy clips onto that

if i remember rightly it's more between the centre and right taillight,,,

by the way, S2 taillight are sexy, i now have a grudge against u for not buying my series 1 tailights =-P

having said that, i forgot to plug the green thing in when i did my tailn lights, and the red headlight flashed up, its nothing to be concerned about replicate, it just means they aren't earthing properly,

if this still isn't making sense i spose i can get some pics n post em up but hopefully that should make sense homey,

good luck

aight homey, i took some pics for you, hopefuly it'll make a bit more sense

photos are in succession,

first is back of car, second is the light you look at, third is the view of the light cluster (upside down, as if you were looking at it) then finally, the green loom and where it is located in relation to the light

i know this is an old thread but i have just installed the s2 tailights ....and i get the red headlight symbol on the dash aswell. The only things i unplugged were the lights to take em out and the plug the new ones in. all other cables seem to be fine were left plugged in

replicate did u solve this problem?

and eps do still have the pics of what u meant?

and does anyone else no how to fix the headlight light on the dash

ok if that didnt work it means one of the globes inside the lights is blown, i used to have this problem with one of my lights when i would brake,

you have 2 globes inside each cluster, obviously one of them isn't working, you might need to pull the light panel out it only takes a sec cos it can be a bit hard to tell,

but yeah find out which one is working and replace it, the reason the red light comes on is cos it isn't getting a signal back from the light n it's a cefiro warning system to say one of your lights is out! :)

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
