I too am having intermittent flickering of my warning lights. I had a diesel leak from my ACSD and I think that some crud may have built up around my contacts but I will take a look and make sure to post the solution if I arrive at a simple one. Rob at RADD Cruisers did a very fast and...
Well I fired up the cruiser this morning and had to get out to go get something when I noticed a leak on the ground. Dried everything out and noticed it wasn't leaking. Fired it up and it started leaking.:mad:
So I traced the source of the leak to what appears to be a spring at the side of the...
I am about the same as everyone else at approx 8km/l. I bought diesel for the possibilities of one day getting off the grid with some french fry grease. In addition the exceptional lubricants seem to give the engine a longer life then gassers.
I picked up my FJ 80 lights from cruiserparts.net and with shipping they were around 500.00 CDN delivered. Happy to have them in now...
It shouldn't be a problem to pass inspection with E-Code lighting, the only difficulty is when you get stopped by the police and because they might not know...
There is no doubt it not a huge issue but it would be a PITA to be continually sent to inspection while the JDM crackdown continues....
For those who can't find the hella relays I have found this site http://www.eurowires.net/wst_page4.html

Hey Darren, JDM lights actually have 3 adjustment screws. The one for the left and right movement is located on the top right corner at the back of the light. It has directional indicators telling you which way to turn it. If you are running JDM lights and are not getting people flashing you...
JDM Headlight Compliance Issues
Some have asked why I chose the FJ80 lights over the E Codes.
While E Code lights meet compliance requirements I can tell you that Police Officers are not being instructed by Transport Canada about any compliance other than DOT/SAE. So without those stamped...
All that remains now is put the bulbs into the new lights. At this stage it is a good precautionary measure to test them again before securing everything back in place. Also you will need to remove all the little plastic screw grommets from the old lights and snap them into the new lights (they...
So back to creating the harness...
The female end has been cut off the Hella adapter and there are 9005 and 9006 adapters with 2 wires each.
Take one of each of the 9005 and 9006 wires and connect them to the yellow (constant power). How you decide to connect these is up to you but it is the...
Here are some more pics of the bulbs and the new harness plugged in to the existing harness. It is important to note that if you get confused by the numbers 9006 and 9005 you can see that the 9006 has a black tip and thus it is the low beam. The 9005 is the high beam. In terms of configuration...
