Can someone point me to the right place? I've been searching but couldn't find anything.

I only found H3C to H3 conversion on other makes. The Silvia is a little different, and I couldn't think of a good way of doing it without having the wire rattle to hell.

People here kept talking about it, but there was no real concrete information on how to run the wire from the flange of the bulb.

Thanks :love:

Wasn't it something like ground one pin and screw it to the headlamp housing? I forget what an H3C looks like.

It's like that on other models, but the Silvia doesn't have any srews on the housing. Otherwise I would just strap it on and be done.

The bulb is held onto the housing by a spring clip. There's no other pin that I could see.

fwiw: I have dual projectors on mine and upgraded the low beams to silverstar h3s...unscrew one of the little screws that is opposite of the hinge bracket, put a ring terminal on one end of a small wire and the other to a insulated female blade connector and connected it to the factory connector and "WE GOT LIGHT!".

Thanks for the comments. This is on the triple projector and no such terminal exists. Otherwise I would have already done so, as stated above.

what luck! I have a set of triples here and I noticed the highs have a similiar socket configuration. . .maybe that can be duplicated on the fogs? hopefully these pics will help:

I got it. Thank you very much.

I was looking for a screw and the terminal was staring right at me. :)
