No probs, in regard to the new globes you need just get these like i did, cheap as and work really well, order the 55w versions too their not to bright, i just went the 6000k type.

i have tried 6000 and 8000. i prefer the 8000 as the 6000 are brighter and whiter, and the 8000 were bluer and less nasty on the eyes! :)

why all of a sudden 30$???? lol i bought them 6 months ago for $60!!!! bastards! haha

will have to buy some while they're cheap! :D

i've installed the new ballast, but my globes are waiting to arrive (and i didn't want to test it with my sole working globe :P )

turns out you have to cut the ballast out, and solder a new one in (its not just a swap out job like i thought)

as the plug on the end of the loom will not fit back through the hole without having to "un-glue" your headlight.

big props for Scottynm35 for giving me a hand! i owe u one two dude! :P

got my new globes today.. put one in, and nothing.. :)

might have to replace the whole headlight.. :P

Mmm, sorry to hear mate, at least it didn't cost you too much to try and fix it. How much is a headlight going to cost?

i'm thinking i'll go with an aftermarket D2R HID kit now. ($130 + install) pretty sure i'll be fine!

better than driving around all lop-sided without one headlight!

pretty sure if they see my engine bay, they aren't gonna say anything about the headlights cos they'll be too busy looking at the other toys :) hahaha

i also heard that it "sometimes" makes a difference if the green wires are soldered the wrong way around on the ballast?? due to polarity or something.

bad news is, my other headlight is flickering now...... :P i'm thinking this D2R aftermarket kit is looking better and better

okay, took it to auto electrician,

my newly installed ballast DOES work :bunny: it blew a fuse somehow when i was installing it.... only problem now is my other one is on the blink .. :| comes on then turns off after a short while....will try swapping the globes around...!

i know :) very happy that it was just a fuse!

and i bought a pair off ebay, but they sent 1x8000K and 1x10,000K. i was dumbfounded..

so they're sending me another 8000K so they match what i requested (somewhere between China and Aus atm)

so that gives me a non matching spare. :blink: haha better than no headlight

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
