> When i have night headlights on only the right side works and one one bulb is on the middle 1...

>but when i put highbeams on..the right side goes out and the left inside 1 comes on

so its lyk flcikering to different lights..they both dont turn on at the same time for night driving and switching highbeams is like switching between left and right side lights??

Hey mate. I think thats the way its mean to work. My headlights do the same thing. When i have it on low beams i only get the two outter lights lit. (think its the outter ones). THen when you go to high beam the outter lights turn off and the inner ones turn on. I am sure that they are not mean to both be on at the same time.

Hope that helps.

From looking at the pictures:

1. Your passenger side lo-beam bulb is blown

2. Your drivers side hi-beam bulb is blown

Secondly what jrocket says is right.

The lo-beams and hi-beams work independently of each other.

When the hi-beams are on, low beams are off.

you could just change your passenger high beam bulb with the low beam

that is if you don't mind not having high beam at all

altho it is quite troublesome if the headlights still have all the screws intact.

which means you'd have to take off the front bar 1st and then the grill

b4 you can take the headlights off

You can change the hi-beam/low-beam bulbs (also parker) without taking the headlight off.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
