Headlights Don't Work - Need Advice

[project_r33]

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if you can help me. I had a blown right-hand side headlight globe on my 1993. Now I got a R33 with both headlights which don't work after attempting to change the globes. I changed both new globes and checked all fuses. No fuse seem to be blown and I checked both the inside fuse box and the fuse box on the engine bay.

By the way can any of you guys tell me which fuses are for the headlights both left and right. Everything is in Japanese on my R33. I saw a diagram of a R33 fuse box on this forum but is looks nothing like my one.

Appreciate your assistance.

Stupid question, did you plug the new globs in??

Not having a go only other thing it could be.

Try this [see attachment], print it, laminate it, and stick it on the interior fuse box lid, if you didn't get the right globes, or they are not earthed properly that will also do it.

Thanks for your advice and the diagram fellas, much appreciated.

Boss-zilla if you knew how to read which I doubt, you would realise in my original thread that I clearly indicated that I encounted this problem when I changed my globes, WHICH OBVIOUSLY MEANS I PLUGGED IT IN!!.

Like i said i was not having a go at you as i have seen people do this. infact the r32's can have two plugs in series for the head light globs and while changing them people have left one unpluged. There is no need to go off like you have as sometimes it is that easy also that nice little PM you sent has been reported, next time dont join a forum then abuse people.

Also the first rule of thumb when fault finding is to look at anything you have done that may, stress may have contributed to the fault.

If anyone had asked me what to look at if they had this problem i would have said the same.

1.Check the connection (are they pluged in?)

2.Check the fuse's

3.Get a test light and check there is power to the connectors.

So as you can see i was not having a go at you and next time when asking for help IF YOU think that someone is having a go there is NO NEED to write an abusive PM to said person because in future they and others that hear about it may not help.

BTW did you try using the old globe that was OK [LH side], did it work? If so then maybe the new globes aren't right??
