Robboo Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 Hi guys looking for abit of advice on this. Is it as simple as cut the wires and rejoin to 8 pin but leaving the 2 extra wires for auto levelling? And is it possible to get auto levelling working on the new headlight if I transfer the auto leveller from my old headlight? Or will a 6 pin headlight not take it? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks Quote

SteveW Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 So is that saying you can convert a pre 06 single xenon headlight to be a bi-xenon? Sorry if that's a dumbass question..... Quote

sMMAshzilla Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Can this be done the other way around? 8 pin to 6 pin?????? Cheers, al Quote

sMMAshzilla Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I have hids, but my mechanic says they are 6 pin. I need them replaced but so far only managed to source 8 pin. Quote
simon da silva Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I have hids, but my mechanic says they are 6 pin. I need them replaced but so far only managed to source 8 pin. I guess its aftermarket HIDs then? maybe somebody changed it before you bought the car.. Check the bulp type mate? it can be a H7 HID Bulp with external ballast? or somebody converted it for you earlier.. You want to change bulps or the entire headlight? Quote
Robboo Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 The headlight I bought comes with a ballast so I'm assuming its xenon/hid. But it's only 6 pin apparently so assuming it doesn't come with self levelling or something? Hence my OP Thanks Quote
Robboo Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Sorted, put my 8 pin plug onto my 6pin headlight and just left out the two wires for the self levelling. Although it does look possible to put the self leveling unit onto the 6pin headlight. Just means unscrewing the leveling screw, drilling out the hole for the unit to mount on, mounting the self leveling unit and screwing the screw back in and put the wires in. Cant see why it wouldn't work? Quote
SteveW Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Again sorry if this is a dumbass question but I've read the my350z guide a few times and I'm still confused. To do this conversion do you need to get any other parts apart for dome D2R HID bulbs? I know it mentions you need "- OEM HID Ballasts, wires, and bulbs" Does that mean the ones already on the car or do you need to obtain the post 06 versions of these? Thank you Quote
Cal Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Thread bump - I've just bought a set of Bi-Xenon headlights to fit to my JDM 03... The linked guide above is no longer hosted. Is it as simple as fitting the 6 pin harness from my current lights to replace the 8 pin on my new ones? Does anyone have any diagrams? Can't find anything in the guides section Quote

The garage were able to convert the harness to 6 pin pretty easily apparently... So shouldn't be an issue at all providing you have a complete set of bi-xenon's. Will be doing the same process again once my custom lights from ZWorks arrive. 1 Quote
