Driving Lights

[Tom 1.0]

hi all,

i'm looking to get some of the Super S style driving lights,

i've got the facelift model, the bumper appears to have sectin on either side were i can remove it and fit the lights,

but after posting in another thread i've been told that the driving lights wont fit?

sorry to be ignorant but is this true or can i get some to fit?

i'm planning on wiring them up on a seperate relay so i can have a flick switch on the dash so i'm not worried about putting them on the normal lights system and stuff...


any help please?

Well it depends on what bumper you have, I have a K facelift and I put Angel Eyes driving lights in the fog light cut outs.

er it looks like this...

sorry its the best picture i've got at the moment


Edit

slightly better picture

the bumper is totally different mate, facelifts have foglights and pre facelifts have driving lights which are alot smaller

Your better off getting some accessory lighting Tom. Could you upload a better picture of the black grill? in your second picture it does actually look like there are sections.

as said the prefacelift driving lights wont fit facelift bumpers, you want the fog lights from the facelift...there actually not that good in fog. mine have been converted to driving lights

ok cool

i'll get some fog lights and play around with those,

squarepants, how did you did you convert them to driving lights??

Well, driving lights only come on with the Hi beam, so I guess he just wired them into that.

previous owner did it. heres the thread:

they come on with the main beam. so iam using the standard stalk, not the stalk with the front fog light switch.

if the driving lights come on when you have them on dip does that mean that youve connected it to wrong wire? but they do come on with full beam.

ok cool,

well when i get hold of some i'm planning on wiring them on a seperate relay to a dash mounted flick switch so i can have them on or off regardless of my main lights i think....

thnkas for your help guys

Only problem with having them on an independant circuit is that if you are on main beam and there is a car coming you will have to switch of main beam then the driving lights, in that time you've blinded them :doh:

hmmm i'll only ever be using them when i'm blasting along all the back roads near me, plenty of time to see them coming lol and its an excuse to have a flick switch on my micra lol

i'm going more for the show car thing with my lights tbh

as its the 1l i cant make it that fast at the moment.
