Figures I would buy the problem lights lol. Thanks for the suggestion and I would be willing to try anything to keep these lights in, they look so good on my car.


Any other suggestions welcome!!

 

bump for help needed still.

 

I'd PM IvoryGT. He's the headlight wizard.

your signal issue is directly related to your headlight being American and the rest being a Canadian DRL wiring.

I can fix this like I said...it would take longer to explain to you than just get it done.

(ps. not trying to sound condescending, but it really is just wiring talk and it's a pain for people who don't deal with that daily to figure out what's going on)

 

Thanks for replying Ivory...Are you trying to say my drivers headlight is American and my passenger is Canadian?? The passenger works as it should. I bought them both from a guy in Ottawa (Canada) who took them out of his car (he said). But I suppose anythings possible. I am capable of doing the basics as I had 2 of 4 years of auto mechanics apprenticeship before I changed career paths several years ago, but definitely wouldn't claim to be 5% of the knowledge you probably have of wiring in general and these setups.

I just want to solve this, and whatever it takes to get it done will be done. If I have to pay somebody or beg and plead, whatever. I want however the last option to be shipping 1 headlight across North America though as that leaves my car up **** creek for a month or so..

 

im in Rochester, NY sort of in the middle of every coast.

It's not the fact that only one side is american, it's because the relay is wired in such way that the ground is only to one side...

It's as simple as it is but they make it as complicated as possible, all grounds should be grounded at all times, but not on the infiniti, they wire it as such that the signal pulses base on ground cutoff.

So, if you want I can send you a completed wiring diagram and work on it, or I'll have to buy factory harness and all parts and have it sent to you.

 

So if I understand you correctly, your saying these are American headlights passed off as Canadian, and I got hosed otherwise they would be a direct drop in Canadian car->Canadian headlights. They were sold on E-bay and I specifically asked if they were pulled out of a Canadian car and was told yes. Good thing I held off on feedback.

I wouldn't mind taking a look at the wiring diagram in case its a little better than the one I have found.

The last part of your message I don't follow, if I send you the headlights you need to buy a factory harness and parts to fix it, or you will send me the goods I need to get the job done? Also could you PM me a price for your services if I decide to take that rou

 

no no...you can either send them to me to get it done...or I can send the completed harness to you.

The wiring could be the same as the one you've found. It's a working diagram

I dont know for sure if the lights are passed off as Canadian or the fact that 06 wiring is different from 04 wiring in canadian cars.

Either way your problem is with the car trying to start the DRL but wiring is not right.

 

Ahhh crystal clear, then I'd be more than willing to pay for the correctly working harness and save the $60+ each way shipping of the lights. Just confirm me a price you'd be happy working with for the service, and let me know.


I did use the ask a question feature on E-bay before bidding, so I hope it was a wiring difference between 04 and 06 Canadian models and not a hosejob, I would be a little less upset, but I have my doubts.

 

What bothers me is that the fogs and everything else work good except the 1 signal... Wouldn't the fogs also be malfunctioning? According to the diagram I found you need to rewire them as well along with the DRL relay. It just doesn't compute that everything works but 1 part but I guess thats why you have specialist on your title and I don't!!

 

i just remember i heard of this problem, i got my headlights off a guy that bought it from a infiniti dealer in canada and he was having the same problems. he got 2 sets and both didnt work, i believe he just gave up.

 

Filanji dont you have a US spec car? this problem is for canadian car with DRL that put US headlights on...

could it be that you have the canadian headlight and Sak has US headlight?

ONLY driver side should hyperblink...if both do you have a blown bulb or you used LEDs and you need load resistor.

 

Every time i try to reply to a thread with that avatar Filan I forget what i was going to say

Anyway I hope rewiring the harness will fix everything for me

 

LED's are not the problem, I don't even run bulbs in my city lights, and I don't have the hyperblinking issue

 

I highly doubt you have the same problem SaK does...and DAMN IT...I just remembered I was at Nissan parts and forgot to ask about the wiring harness...sorry Sak
