Sorry to thread jack, but i was wondering. I have the dual projectors, and i'm running 4300k hid's in them. I have the most horrible output ever, even after trying to adjust them. Is that just how the projectors are? what gives

yup all silvia headlights are shitty....Clear corners has a conversion kit that you can buy to make the light output correct.

the female plug goes onto the low beams and the male plug connects to the light switch on your car.
middle light is high beam and the outter light is the low beam.. its all plug and play if everything is there.. but im missing the low beam so its not for me ha

so if i buy HID's i dont have to worry about that adaptor?

Outsides are Low's middles are High's

The Male & female plug together for the Low's and High's, Fog Lights use their own harness.

I show in here how the plug should be wired up (there is a bonus wire up for the Q's Lights)

somthing is Jacked up in your wiring then, Maybe your Head Light Stalk switch needs to be replaced.

All S13 Silvia lights use the same config. (outside Low's, Middle's High)
Low's
