Upgrading Ke70 Headlights

[Murd 55]

i can't see projector lights being illegal as my 13 has them standard and yeah no issues there. black ones look fat!!

just cos its an upgrade doesn't mean its legal :)

Would many people be keen to get a big order? Save some coin?

 

i am definitely thinking about it. PM me if u do buy!!

does anyone else have their lights turn off for a half-second when turning left? my mates ae71 also did it. how do you fix that

[RainWarriorDregs]

mine does that sometimes, and when changing from high beam to low beam the lights cut out. i think its dodgy connections in the steering column around the indicator stalk. i thnk

The stock lights are great providing they are switched by relays instead of running the power back to earth through the dimmer switch. That resistance just kills the brightness of the bulbs.

Hello I just changed my headlights over from sealed unit to semi sealed, and upon reading this I am guessing you use a relay to to help with brightness and I am wanting to install relays but the link is no longer working, does anyone have a writeup on how to install relays for the headlights.

That link is now here I think, the change from KE70.com to Rollaclub caused it-

Try one of these kits, cheap enough and easy to do for what you gain, its what I now have on mine.

The relays pick up off one headlight plug, that's the black male-pin plug in the image, that goes into a one stock headlight plug.

Oh I see what you mean so the black male pin plug goes into one of the stock harness headlight plugs the other one unused, then the yellow pin plugs go direct into the headlight bulb and the black wire connected to yellow plugs is ground and the red wire is battery positive.

That's right. You don't get a high beam blue light with the system like that, unless they've improved it, but I remember I had the blue light working if I put a bulb in the other headlight plug and let it hang there.  The original wiring diagram had a resistor in that line to make the blue light work. These days I have a separate little LED on the dash that I wired into the circuit and it comes on with high beam.
