R32 GTR Headlight Query

[jonn]

I have a question regarding the headlights on an r32 gtr. My lights have a small round (domed) lens and the inner lense is rectangular (ish). When I put the headlight switch to normal low beam position the round ones light up along but when I put on the high beams the rectangle ones light up and the round ones go off.

Is this normal or is something wrong??

i would assume thats normal - not that i have seen them before

but most cars low beam should turn off when high beams go on

[Osman R32]

Yeah thats normal, i have no idea why nissan made them like that but they did. If you do a search and look around you will find some threads on how to link the high beam's to the low beam's and they will all come on at once. Also if you play with the stalk that engages the high beam's when you pull it towards you, at a certain spot all the lights will turn on

can some one tell me if there were 2 different types of projector headlights used on r32 gtr? Mines an aussie delivered 91 model and I have projecter headlight that look like the have a round metal ring around them. Now i have also seen round projector headlight on later models that has a different sort of lens around them? are these brighter or different type of bulb used etc, I can make out H1 mentioned in the article (japanese article).

Hope someone can make sense of what i have typed.

you can get an differnet (non-genuine) wiring harness to activate hi and low beam at the same time.

For what it's worth, a while back one of the guys here mentioned there are 3 different types of headlights in the R32. There are 2 types of projector lights and the other type is the N1 set which has square headlights vice projectors.

If I find the thread, I'll link to it. It has all the answers
