Default S13.5 high beams working on original switch crew check in

i've had S13.5's for how many years now??? too many. and i just this saturday got the high beams working on the original headstock.

i really hate ' rolling grounds' or whatever it's called.

ugh.

but bling blow, bitches.



next question:

how many of you have pulled apart the housings to remove the cutoff so that you can blind everyone in front of you?

I've re-done the cutoff in a few of them (s15 & s13 Sil). The projectors in both generally blow ass, a recent model BMW projector unit goes a long way towards actually seeing at night.

I've worked on cars in some crazy places.

Maybe that should be the next Nissan Tech thread.

"Craziest place you have worked on your car-Not including the air filter you just bought from Autozone"

Yes, someone can quote that for thread title.

You didn't have an S13 joe... on the S14 it's so straight forward it's not even funny. the S13's its a different world altogether.

stupid fucking square flip ups.

Craig: do you know how to retrofit??????? want to do mine??

I want 3000-3500K projectors.

I've done it before. I've got J30 projectors w/HIDs in my popups in one of those eBay H4 sealed beam housings.
