Headlights On 350gt

[WazR32GTSt]

I checked my docs and you may be right, there is no reference to the fog lights in the CIN but the Xenons are in there. So not sure if these definitely needed to be done, but were anyway and I got the attached doc from compliance too.

just went out to the car having read this document for the first time (don't know why i didnt read it earlier??)

took me 30sec to:

- open the door

- take my key and pop out the little plastic cover offthe back of hte stalk

- the little white plug had not been cut, but simply unplugged.. so i plugged it back in

- re-installed the little plastic cover

now i have foglights!!

i'm going to get myself a set of nice halogen H4 bulbs (the high-intensity kind that are a whiteish colour but not HID) and swap them over someday soon, and while i'm at it i will replace the parking lights with white LED wedge globes

pics of WAZ's lights on progress

front of car before I started

now it comes to bits ( fairly easy to remove if you take your time.)

headlight assy.

HID ballast - look closely thats how the halogen lights are done (the plug was chopped!)

HID plug was intact and tucked out of the way..

bit hard to see but there is a blue light there (light is on and warming.)

then it all goes back together

Hmm, weird thing with mine is when I turn the centre switch on the stalk my park lights come on, so I assume that they re-wired it to there?

So basically there should be an extra spot for the fog light to go?

[WazR32GTSt]

well maybe the fog light switch also turns on he park lights

so normally both should come on, but with the fog light out only 1 coms on so it looks like its switching backwards..

mate, take the palstic cover off, it takes literally 30sec and see what you have in there..

Yeah mine too

How do you get to the plug in the stalk? I took the top cover off but didn't want to go any further! should I be taking the bottom part off?

Yeah mine too

Park lights and high beam come on when I turn the switch. Doesn't appear to be foglights, it's the same one that lights up when I use my high beam. Maybe the integrated foglights are for the sedan only? Can't see where the foglights can be installed in the housing.

No worries, cool. Good going with the Xenons too. Much better than anything aftermarket.

Thanks for that, hopefully they haven't super glued mine!

How did you go?

[Pulp]

Nah mine is still intact! ??? I'm definately putting aside a day to pull the bumper off, had a look with the tourch and I think I could just see that the HID balast are still on the back of the headlights! Hopefully just a matter of re-wiring them.

If it's any help, not sure if the coupe is radically different, but I know on the sedan you don't need to pull out the whole bumper and the headlights. You can do the job with jacks/hoist by pulling off the front wheels and the plastic guards in the wheel well and underneath. May be easier for some this way as you don't have any alignment issues putting everything back.

Hey check what globes you have, should be the H4 type where the high beam is, or maybe the wiring has been modified at the back of them.

Ok took one side of the inside of the wheel arch off, and I can see a silver unit low down which looks to me like a balast (think it may be part of the fog light kit I have). It has two sockets on it, one that goes to the fog light. There is a cable near by with the compatible plug on it just wrap up in the corner, fits perfectly into the other socket, this is the same on both sides of the car.

Also there is a small grey looking balast on the back of the headlight assembly which has a plug that has been cut, the same as the post from Chris earlier.

Chris, with those red wires that were cut in your pictures, did you cut that yourself from the standard wiring (globes)? I'm just not sure where to join the green & black wires that have been cut to?

Cheers!

[Chris Rogers]

they were the halogens that were put in for compliance. the cut plug should match up with the other end

[Pulp]

Ok cool, so there should be another end to connect to somewhere in there?

[Chris Rogers]

yep. you should have the plug still on the ballast and the wire side should have the halogen light hanging off it.

Thanks mate, will post up pics once complete!
