Haxorz Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Does only the left HL turn with the steering wheel? That's all my car does. There is a picture in a user manual that seems to indicate this light is the only one that moves and goes 30 degrees. Makes sense too, as you already sit on the RHD of the car. Does anyone have BOTH lights moving around corners? Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/320716-v36-directional-headlights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm sure I've noticed the driver's side light move, but only when moving at speed keep an eye out next time you're driving at night Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/320716-v36-directional-headlights/#findComment-5236680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantomsss Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I'm sure I've noticed the driver's side light move, but only when moving at speedkeep an eye out next time you're driving at night They both move, tested couple of hours ago. There is something strange about right one though. It seems that it does not move until you trun wheel to certain point where left one does it instantly. i though that it was broken at first Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/320716-v36-directional-headlights/#findComment-5243586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haxorz Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Hmmm... my 'AFS' warning light flashes too. Methinks they buggered it up during compliance. Once I get the Xenons to put back in I'll get someone to check it out. Hopefully it'll be a matter of putting them in and they'll just work. BTW the 'Auto' lights are awesome!

Haxorz Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 (edited) Have figured it out. My workshop told me the right one does not swivel right as to not interfere with oncoming traffic when turning right. Makes sense and consistent with the Japanese pic in my manual. My error is most probably just because the Xenon bulbs are missing.

Haxorz Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Anyone put Xenons back in yet? I have bulbs but reluctant to open it up myself.. Anyone knows specialist in Sydney who does this and at what cost? I haven't... yet... There is one V36 compliance shop in Syd and in Brissy. I don't know the Syd one but if you find out you can try them. Otherwise I would have thought any auto elec should be able to do it. My brother (a shop fitter, not a mechanic) did my R34. I was quoted $100 or 150 for this once from memory... seemed a little high for what most guys can do themselves (except for me, being a very unhandy man). I was told easiest way to do is to put the car up on a hoist and remove the wheel to gain access through behind the front 1/4 fender. Taking off the front bumper is NOT recommended - it can stuff up the airbag sensors (even with the car off).

loz-tuned Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I refitted my HID's myself ... took around 2 hours to work it all out.. easiest way is jack it up, take the wheel off, take the inner splash guard off, connect the HID's to the existing ballasts, done! If your importer was nice he will make it easy to revert it back! Aussie standard H1's are CRAP honestly there is no comparison i could barely drive at night with the shit that the HID's were replaced with! oh, and if your thinking of changing the fog lights... good luck! they are an absolute BITCH to get to! most pain in the pass job ever!!!

Haxorz Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Thanks for the info. I was still thinking of taking it somewhere, as I want to fit a band expander and wire in a USB charger for my Tom tom while I'm at it. Maybe even do an iPhone charger (apparently even with the iPod cable the 3GS won't charge) and talk to them about wiring in a little set top box (for TV).

Haxorz Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Is it the one for FM Radio? Yes. Speaking of which, has anybody done this to a V36? Would be good to know what adaptor is required. Apparantly the V35 is a little different. Assuming you can buy these from Jaycar, have also seen some made in NZ ones too. there is an ipod cable for v36?( i know americans got one, but jap spec models dont have a cable available i thought?) My port looks the same as the US one but to be honest I don't know.

Haxorz Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 My port looks like that, but I don't have the cable. Nor the 'BOSE for Skyline' badge, even thought I have the BOSE stereo (SP model). Mines all Infiniti badging anyway. BTW am in touch with a company in NZ that makes the band expanders - only $30 NZ delivered for very high quality ones. Still need to work this out: 'Also I would need to know what type of antenna plug is in the back of the radio unit eg. A single plug or a twin pin plug as these model vehicles varied." Anyone know?

loz-tuned Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Exactly the same, what is this for? it connects to the stereo & charges the phone. unfortunately iphone isn't popular in japan supposedly so they haven't made a cable for them Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/320716-v36-directional-headlights/#findComment-5255557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
