I had a pair of R34 factory non zenons in my car and have just fitted some factory zenons.

The plug is different on the zenons, has 4 wires.

2 go to the ballast and the other 2 go to a globe.

I assume the wires to the ballast will be feed from the low beam and the other 2 from the high beam?

Its been coverd before.try a search. the wires that go to the H1 globes will just be sliced into the original loom so follow them until you find where its sliced into, the compliance people normally tuck the original loom under the head light. The original loom is what plugs into the ballast,from there its self explanitory.

I have never converted factory non exenons before, i have only coverted the factory fitted ones back to HID after they had been removed for compliance.

If your looms just go strait to the H1 fittings then you will need to find some plugs that fit into the socket on the ballasts and wire it up from there, its a simple positive and negative. if you can post up some pics of what you have including some pics of the plugs on your headlight looms.

Yep that's pretty much it Darrin, just split the feeds to the respective high beam and ballast.

All sorted

High beam plugged straight on the back of the bulb holder and had to re wire the zenon's

Was not too hard once I actually had a look

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
