vsiev, how did you paint the inside of your grill? And thanks a lot for the info on adjustment, so anyone try this and get better results with their lighting?

i like the glow in the dark silvia grill. Personally, i woudln't do it. But I do think it looks nice.

Anywayz, I adjusted my lights FINALLY to find out its not the position of the lights. But the actual lights themselfs. So going to try replacing them with new bulbs. Anyone got any recomendations for nice WHITE lights? none of the bluish/Fake ID look.

That's awesome! I've never seen a lighted Silvia grill. I'll keep updated on this, I'll want some new lights too if mine are dim.

It isn't a glow in the dark, it was wired with my parking lights so when i turn on my parking or driving lights, they would light up. Anyways just replace the bulbs. Mine are fine and brighter than the pop up lights that I had. Hey since you are looking at light bulbs, can you find one that has dual coils in the bulbs...what i did was made all my lights come on at night(regular driving lights) and adjusted the highbeam down....so i don't have highbeam...I am trying to find dual coil bulbs to be able to use my highbeams. Hopefully you get to fix your problem. Or what you can do is rewire the damn thing and have your highbeams as your regular lights and your regular lights as your highbeam....or just get some highbeam bulbs and slap them on lol. Good luck

I was thinking about rewiring my Highbeams to be my low beams but I think i'll just try replacing the bulbs and see how that works.

Man I've been messing with my lights for like 4 hours tonight (S13 Silvia squares). The lighting on these suck as well. When the low beams are on you can barely see (keep in mind this is with PIAA super plasmas $$), so now I've got my high and low beams on in the dual filament bulb (outside light) on for regular and the inside lights are my high beam with the low beam filament from the outside on too. I've been adjusting like crazy (it's the bolts that stick out of the housing on the back). The way it looks, you'd almost think the inside light is the low beam. I dunno.

I've got the same problem on my passenger side I can't see anything from that side. I don't know why but the driver side is clear and good. My friend kenji, told me that the reason nissan changed over to non projectors is cause of function people where complaining they couldn't see so nissan made new lights that lit the road up a bit more. I've tried adjusting my passenger side light but doesn't do any thing. Also another thing to remember is that these light are for RHD that means they illuminate towards the the on coming traffic here in the states.

vsiev - How did you rewire it so all your lights came on? I just want to get an idea before I attempt this.

Real quick, does anyone have 1 Driver Side triple projector light I could have. Mine broke while adjusting. ::sniff sniff::
