judging from your DP, looks like you have same headlights as me

question if you dont mind - on low beam, are the only globes that are on are the parkers and the globes closest 2 the parkers on the outside?

cause for some reason, dont know if its just how it is, thats what its like with me, and theres barely any light, and it shines more downwards.

So with the highbeam, the globes closest to the inner corners and also the other globes next to them are on(theres 2 globes in the middle for mine), which produces good light, but not sure if I wired it wrong

edit : attached a pic if it helps, I appreciate you looking

cheers

For me .. only my back lights are on in parkers.. no lights in the front..
But i looked closesly at the headlgiht and it seems there is a tiny hole for an extra parker light on the front light but its covered up..

I think cause on the other headlight the airbox + battery covers that area of the headlight.. so its practicly impossible to get to.. ?

Maybe its just my DA9 dno bout the others..

(by parker .. i mean like when u ... just turn the lights switch once.. not twice like we do to activate the headlights..)

[Chriskoss]

Yeah I get what your saying

What about 2 clicks (all the way) for normal low beam not high beam, is there only 1 globe on with that (circled in red in the pic)

Just seeing when yours was working, if it is the same as mine, cuz theres not much light for night time

[slimx]

just checked now yep exactly as yours is mate. Low beam is the same thing u circled.. and its not that much light although it is bright than a fair bit of cars.

[Chriskoss]

Thanks for comfirming mate, may have thought I wired it wrong

I've ordered some hyper blue globes from the US, hopefully should get some more light from them

thanks again buddy! good luck finding some new lights

[slimx]

yeh i bought some blue globes recently from ebay, came out wrong now i sent it back jst waiting for them to send the right one.

my headlights are the same as your decription..on low beam theres hardly any light which is pointed downwards like u said..so i drive with my high beams when i can..although saying that with my high beam the globes closest to the inner corners are on but only one globe next to them is lit..

ive also attached pics if it helps..

[Chriskoss]

Thanks so much iggie, helps alot
Yeah mine are the same, and yeah on lowbeam hardly any light and points downwards, really not good night freeway driving cant see more than 3m infront of me
Hopefully new globes will do the trick, otherwise will just put my new globes in the OEM ones and put them back in
I guess these OEM lights are just for looks and not for useability lol

edit : now that ive looked at my lights when i turn the highbeams on, the lowbeams go off, how wierd is that. I was confused how to wire it cuz there was 2 red wires 1 black pretty odd must of mixed then around but meh

no worries, anytime..yeh i noticed..the lights are wierd..yeh i was confused bout the wiring to coz i wanted to wire them differently n have blue parkers but i thought that i shouldnt touch it incase i screw something up.. are there any other DA9's in adelaide?

[tseesinngwailo]

I think the AUs Integras (the DA at least) are wired to turn off the lowbeam and make the middle highbeams come on.
I noticed this after I converted my car to B16A using a JDM halfcut, I removed my entire engine bay and dash looms, and replaced them with the JDM ones, this gave me the auto climate control, and now when I hit high beams, I get the proper situation where the bulb switches from Low to High, and the inside high beams are now on a separate switch which is for fog-lights (the glass lenses for JDM are fog, not driving lights), I have 100W bulbs in there so if I want I can have 2 sets of high beam on!

You might want to review your wiring, it sounds like its all a bit wonky
