From your second picture, seems like your passenger (left) side needs to go down, and your driver side (right) needs to move to the left.

But you really need to find a level ground with a wall.

Thanks NiZmo Man!

Any updates on this for the R32 Projectors?

niZmO_Man.... is the Mini D2S 4.0 still the one to go for?

I'm looking for something that will be relatively easy to fit (don't mind a little dremel work) and stealth as HID in NZ is a WOF fail.....

 

do elaborate the procedure >_< when you get a chance

Diode on the high beam wire, so the current flows to the solenoid when you hit the highs.

The high beam bulbs on my car have a separate relay wiring, so I use the standard wires for activating the solenoid.

I didn't take pictures of my dodgy wiring, but I'll make a neater harness so will take pictures then.

In the mean time, Morimoto D2S 3.0 projector with Osram CBI bulb, did a quick retro:

Try getting that with a H1 LED bulb :P

So, I have a set of projector headlights that I intend on retrofitting and then performing a transplant for the N1s.

I have read through a lot of posts about HID conversions and some date back a few years. Is the best option the latest Mini D2S and stick to 35w / 4200k? I.e. no point in going above 35w and I am not interested in bright white / blue headlights.

Looking at Lightwerkz, it seems like you can buy the brackets as mentioned above:

Then build your own kit:

Not sure why Lightwerkz didn't list it anymore, but they used to let you select D2S or G5 projector to go with their R32 bracket.  G5 is cheaper and has identical dimensions to D2S, except the housing isn't painted black.  D2S has a more centralized hot spot and G5 is more spread out, you can check it out on their comparison videos.

Thanks @TXSquirrel I will check it out.

BTW, it does mention G5 at the bottom of the page:

    • 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.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
