Hello all.

I installed a set of Xenons on my Series 1 260 today and while I was buggering around with the headlights I noticed another switch on the headlight stem I hadnt taken any notice of before.

Its on the headlight stem next to the headlight switch. It has an off position and two others.

One has a pic of a headlight and the other has a pic of two headlights.

Im assuming one is for fog lights (which dont seem to work). What does the other one do? When I turn it to the second position it brings up a little orange headlight symbol next to the tacho. Does it make it so your high low beams stay on when you turn to high beam?

Just curious is all.

Also what kind of bulbs should I use to replace the fog lights if theyre blown?

Cheers guys.

Second switch should be for foglights. Head lamp has a setting for daylight switch on top of dash to control headlights so they come on by themselves when it gets dark. It should be written on the stalk: first position off, second automatic, third sidelights, fourth headlights.

Got pics of the Xenon lights install?

I can take some if you like. What do you want photos of? The light they put out or the actual install themselves?

Yeah thats it the light with the two lines. So its a rear fog light. I wonder if they put a reverse light in for me. Cheers for that Ill check it out.

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
