RSX Headlights .

RSX84 did you get anywhere by removing the lenses and cleaning the reflectors ?

I've just put 90/100's in mine for a monor improvement . To adjust the beam there are two stalk/screws one above the other which both adjust height ? I cannot seem to adjust the beams from side to side , any idea what gives ?

Thanks A .

Well guys, my first front cut had a special loom for the headlights. It provides a 30 amp bosch relay for every globe, coupled with IPF globes, I think the lights are outstanding.

The original globes that came with the front cut were 80 series PIAA, but the IPF's are equally as good and half the price. The loom is also about an inch thick, with all wires bound as one.

The new IPF globes are high output, low draw, which is the go now because of the lexan polycarbonate reflectors & lenses going into new cars today.

My H4's are 130/110 output but only draw 60/55. The H1's are 150 output and only 65W draw.

I also have a set of Ralliart H4's, that I'm yet to look at, but are 170/130 with 100/90 draw and these are considered very near H.I.D.

Maybe you should be looking at a setup like this.

And I have a Bluebird alternator set up (rewound) as 80amp, if someone wants to try playing with it. Prefer it to stay in Sydney as I would like it back sort of maybe.

Cheers,

Is IPF a brand or type of globe ?

Again can someone PLEASE tell me how to adjust the inner Takamon lights to the left so they dont point strait ahead . My car has thin std headlight wiring , but short plug in sections of heavier gauge wire . Are all 84 models the same ?

Cheers A .

Adrian,

IPF is the brand name of the globes. They are a Japanese auxilliary light manufacturer just like PIAA.

I bought the globes from 4WD Equipment on Milperra Rd Milperra, just near Flower Power.

As for adjustment, mine have 2 adjusters, same as standard MR headlights. Maybe yours are stuffed or broken.

Cheers,

D

If your getting good lighting fom the Tekamon's yours is the only one .

I just had a thought , my inner lights have two adjusting bolts and they both make for up or down . If I screw them BOTH in or out the beams should move from side to side ...... :Oops:

There may be a set of R30 camber adjustable strut tops up for grabs soon .

Cheers A .

a week ago we wired in a setup for relays ect, and made a huge improvement, even on the standerd Artuic blue bulbs.

Im currently using 3 30amp Relays and so forth, 150/130 high/low beams and only 100w high beams. and i tell it IT THROWS the light,

Ive noticed on all R30 head lights the reflectors turn black or brown, and the plating comes off :S, would chrome dipping the reflectors help ?
