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?

    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 馃挭馃徏 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
