C34 Dayz Driving Lights - Bulb Size

[SMOKEYV35]

hey guys,

does anyone know what the bulb size is for the driving lights that often sit in the lower front bar on Dayz edition S2 stageas??? got the globe out and the light, but no markings on either to indicate the size and it isn't in the manual.

any help much appreciated.

cheers, mat

That'd be some good info...

Dose anyone have a passenger side driving light they can donate (for a small fee)?

Cheers

are you refering to the bottom fog lights situated in the air dam.

I'm pretty sure that when i replaced my yellow globes with plain white globes they were H1 globes

I work at a holden dealer so i just grabbed some off the shelf.

if worse comes to worse, pull yours out and get super crrap auto to match them up

[SMOKEYV35]

hmmm, do the h1 globes pull out of the connector? the plastic L-shaped base?

Guys, the Lights in BAR (top) Fog Lights NOT YELLOW globes

YELLOW cover ,

[Big Fella]

yeah mate, globes pull out of the connector. I still have to pull them apart again and remove the little metal covers.

It doesn't get too foggy down here on the coast, i'd rather have them for spotlights when i'm driving at night

There the ones...

[SMOKEYV35]

great, thanks for that guys.

have relocated the lights to the outer vents on the front bar - now for a HID kit - once i get them ligned up properly it's going to be like daylight on the backroads!

[SMOKEYV35]

a bit more research, and i'm fairly convinced they are HB3. i have downloaded a size schematic, so i'll measure it up at home.

you might be right in that the bulb is H1 - but if i want to go to a HID kit, i can't use the H1 bulb as the wiring to the ballast connects directly to the bulb base, and there would be nothing to hold it in place.

(the stock wiring clips into a 90 degree base (HB3), and the H1 globe slots into that). i'll post my findings.

whilst on subject of spot lights. i am getting some dayz foggies and relocating to the side vents aswell. this is to make way for the 32 gtr fmic. we get a fair bit of fog in the gully, where we live near the hills. i will crack em open to find out what globe they take for a part number ref. these are for a s1, so im betting they are slightly different, S2 look different, can someone confirm? i will try to find a pic.

smokey -did you have to make mounting brackets to fit them and line them up dead straight? no probs with the headlights, they have levellers.

[SMOKEYV35]

i'd say they'd be the same between s1 and s2. they are a CIBIE brand light if that helps.

there are no markings on the globes or the actual housings - i looked.

and yep, i made brackets just using some 90 degree angle brackets, bolted into the underside of the reo. alignment will be a case of doing some bending of the brackets, loosening of the bolts and a bit of hammer time i'd say haha.

QUESTION: how do you switch them on! i can't get them to fire up, but i dont exactly know if what i'm doing is right. is the rocker switch to the right of the steering wheel the right one? because it has two positions and neither do anything, even with the lights on.

and beyond that, where is the fuse for them?

[Big Fella]

I turn mine on with the indicator stalk, same as the factory fog lights

then I have a rocker switch to the left of my steering column down near the handbrake release which switches between yellow foggies in the front bar and driving lights in the lower air dam.

[SMOKEYV35]

Thanks Big Fella,

can you do me a favour - can you have a peek in there and see if there is a green lead wire running off the back of your yellow lights in the front bar down to the foggies in the air dam? based on that either/or switching function you just described, it might have something to do with why mine won't fire - because that wire is just hanging loose. i tested it with a multimeter and go nothing so i figured it was useless and cut it off.....

Thanks for such an amazing placement. its quite an informative thread. Although all posts are good but its so informative, no doubt. Looking forward for your next thread. I do hope that it will come soon. Keep sharing

Yes smokey the bottom lights have a wire running from the yellow lights/blinkers to the lower fog lights, both plugs come from the same loom so u may have cut urs off, oh and the globes are very easy to come by, got new ones from super cheap auto, think the globe type from memory was H1 12v 55w

ah feck.

so i'm figuring it must be some sort of relay trigger wire, or it's an earth so that when you hit the switch for the lower fogs, the orange fogs cut out.

any ideas how i'm going to work this one out????

[bentwagon]

How did you go with this?

[SMOKEYV35]

didnt end up wiring them up. i live in an apartment building so body corporate forbids working on cars in the garage.....so never managed to get round to it.

but your choices are - use the factory loom if present, and find out which wire is the trigger wire. i'm guessing that because you can only switch on either the front bar lights, or the driving lights using the rocker switch - one of them gets grounded and the other becomes open. so that wire between the two is probably a ground wire. so get the ground wire off the front bar lights, and splice it into the ground wire on your CIBIEs. if that doesnt work - try splicing the power wires together.

other option is to run a relay harness as per my other thread. get a HB3 specific one and it will be plug'n'play. that way you can have all lights on if needed. powahhh!
