hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me..

awhile back i installed Xenon's into my car to replace the normal headlight globes, and

due to a smash i had, the panel beaters i took it to got s2 lights on my s1 r33, which look great.

but there is one problem, when i first installed them one of the lights where way to high and blinding

on coming traffic, which is funny, but dangerous.. so i thought i fixed it, but im still getting a flash every now and

again..

my question is how do i adjust them? there is 3 knobs i can turn, but one is for the high beams,

and the other 2 i dont know what they do and one is a real pain in the ass to get to.

so does any one know which knob i should be turning in order to lower my headlights?

thanks.

Try adjusting the ones that are a pain in the arse to get to. They're usually the ones that adjust your headlights.

When you say you installed 'xenon's' do you mean HID lights? If you did, that'll be the reason everyone's flashing you right there. Have a search about HIDs into R33's reflectors to find out why.

Occassional flashes nowadays mean 3 things

1. You're lights are too high.

2. You're lights are too bright.

3. You're giving you the 'heads up' for nearby cops.

So yeah, could be either one dude!

for the gap.. there is none... since i smashed the front of my car.. the whole front n bonnet got replaced lol, all through insurance, total for the repair for my car was 5,000 lol

if i need bulbs ill pm you straight away .. thanks man :)

lol dont think its the coppers, coz then i get an evil stare when i drive past them lmao. i'm going

to take it to an auto electrician when i've got some spare time, see wtf i can do :D

i'll post a pic up of them tonight :)

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
