That looks like the box near the fuse box (underhood) with the relays in it.

The photo is confusing because the item is upside down. If you look on the front side, you will see something that looks like the tabs that hold the relay box cover.

It's the headlamp relay module... located between the under hood fuse box and fender, right?

You mentioned that you're looking for an ignitor module... what's that?

i like it! but will it give me my $25.00 back ... sadly no.

i went to the wreckers looking for an ignitor module/ ignitor chip from a 300zx they didn't have it but i knew the q45 did so i went looking around and after driving 45min i wasn't going to leave empty handed so ipicked up what looked like an ignitor module kinda. ... 5 coming out, i figured 2 signal wires going in and additional wires, should regulate something whatever.

lol, stupid headlights.

Never heard it called an ignitor module before... is what elwesso describing what you meant skyline? The book calls it a "Power Transistor Unit"... but then again there are several names for the same part. Sometimes in my garage they all become the "sombeiotchoverthere" :D
