Is it possible for you to take a photo of this install so we can get a further understanding as to what has been done and what setup you have.. Always the more info you can provide and show the easier and faster it can be solved.

Cheers.

yeah the HID's are fairly plug and play... pull the fuses out and check they are def ok

other than that, there's only 2 wires you really need to connect... sooo there isn't really much room for error :S

Checking the fuses with a test light doesnt work, the test light still lights up. Psychically pull them out and check them one by one

Oh yeah, I just remembered thats what happened with fiance's HID's. It blew one of the fuses and the test light still showed up ok. I pulled the fuses out and one was epic busted...

So don't always trust the test light :P

Thread hijack, but I also have a problem with lights.

My right headlight, just refuses to work atm. We're talking hi beams, low beams, parkers. Nothing. Worked fine until a few nights ago when my low beam bulb was about to die. Wiggled it about a bit to get it to work so I could drive home, and it died, and now nothing works. I imagine a fuse is blown, but even getting a mate to translate my jap fuse box revealed nothing about why only one side was out. Anybody care to shed any light on this?

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
