Light Bulbs and Wires?

[metatrox]

Does anyone have a list of which bulbs the Kizashi takes for such things as the interior lights and the door lights and the such?

Also saw where someone mentioned a wiring diagram of the headlights. Was wondering if I was going to hook up some LED's in the front and wanted to tap into the DRL how might I go about this?

Also has anyone figured out how the DRL's work? They are also the high beams correct? How do they operate? Like when you switch on High beams does the voltage just increase through the same wires or is it a second set of wires that just pushes more juice? I noticed that the one ballast has 6 wires on it. I assume 2 are for the small orange bulb and the other four are for the DRL/High Beam.

Thanks guys!

I actually thought that they were a separate bulb. There's a little bulb in the housing in front of the high beam bulb I think. I'll have to go check at lunch.

That little bulb is like a parking light.

I purchased a couple of "bright white" LED's to replace the parking bulbs.
Really need to remove the headlight assembly just to change them over - unless you are Houdini.
No room to get at them easily - right side no room, left side need to remove air filter assembly.

Gave it up and put them in my wife's car - quick and easy.

Yea, they definitely didn't make getting to the headlights easy unfortunately.

yup thats what got me holding back from hids why didnt they make changing a bulb easier i dont understand but i had the same issue with my jetta had to remove the bumper just to change a lightbulb its ridiculous...and hids could be problems later on just the thought alone makes me say nah but i like hids ohhh boy

I got bulbs to upgrade the lower bulbs and only put the left one in in initially. A small plus in my NJ Turnpike bumper damage was when they replaced the bumper, I had them put in the right bulb.

I don't think removing the air filter box is enough - you would have to also get past that circuit box. The bumper removal is probably the easiest way - see the instructions and pictures on the HID thread - very detailed and helpful.

I've changed the low beams to HID, parker bulbs, interior dome lights, courtesy door lights and licence plate lights.
It's all in my thread under gallery and videos.

Next lights i want to change are the amber turn signals in the headlight assembly. I want to get clear or chrome looking bulbs that light up amber to eliminate the egg yolk look.

Will2k: yeah I like the look you have. This next weekend I wanna take off bumper and replace the headlight bulbs and the such. Do you have a list of bulb numbers for each one? I wanna change mine all out to bright whites also.
