That collab is really great. So glad your making such great progress. I saw the pictures on IG. I thought your headlights looked great😉
Love your videos, Liz. You're so real! And it's called a "bal-lust." It's function is to get the high intensity gas charged up, so it can emit light.
Your one of my fav you tubers since the beginning. The vibe is so genuine and positive. Pretty good to me.
Thank you so much for watching !!! OG mick nugget
Congrats on the roll cage. That’s awesome. Keep up the good work. Garage is coming along nice
From all car entbusiast in UK we support you and are so proud of you 🙏👍👏
Great job on the Headlights Love the Video 📹🪂🏆🪂🏆🪂🏆🪂🏆🪂🏆🪂🏆🪂🏆
Love your content 💟 keep it up
Dang, Liz; that diffuser looks really good! Keep up the awesome work!!
Defuser is coming along great. You have it looking good as new, soon. Love your vids, very well done jobs you do with super great information to share with everyone. You and Sarah are my favourite to watch and learn
Shop looks great and the lighting is bright
Makes for a great work environment
Hope the weather gets better, miss the skimpy outfits
❤️❤️❤️
will always watch your whole vids get my mickbeth fix
i agree part's are outrageous.just started to watch video's.i think you do an excellent job.
Thank you !!
That's why I'd suggest an engine swap bc they're usually cheaper and less extensive to work on
Take the headlight out and take to other side where everything is functioning and if you can hook up to the wiring harness on that side you can atleast narrow it down to chassis harness or the actual light harness. If that doesn't work for you bench check the light assy with a power supply 12 volts and grounds according to wiring schematic for your car.
I did this too with the leds just turn it
Bought a infrared garage heater like you bought on Amazon it works great thanks for putting out the great ideas get a wiring schematic for your 350 Z on the headlights and troubleshoot the wiring to the transformer to headlight relay or switch use a digital volt ohm meter to check power ground and continuity of the circuit for the headlight if you get stuck I’m sure Sarah can help you out with troubleshooting the circuit thanks For putting out great video content thanks again from Underwood garage in central California
I had the same problem. I bought a aftermarket ballast and bulbs. 55w innovated hid bulbs. Had to re wire the ballasts but got it to work.
Looks great. You are doing a great job.
Glad you are doing ok MB. I would definitely troubleshoot the harness leading to that headlight. I would check positive and negative with a voltmeter. If you’re not sure which one is which you can always ground the negative on the voltmeter anywhere and then probe with the positive. You can always confirm which pin should have positive and negative by looking at the good headlight harness on the driver side. My bet is the positive on harness harness got fried when that ballast went. Good luck!
I had aftermarket lights on my Grand am and they just had a plastic boot over the bulb....that is a great setup with the way the bulbs plug in. Sometimes you may have to run an extra ground wire to the bulb housing if you want to run higher watt bulbs
Great video, thank you. Hope you figure out the headlight issue, you can swap the bulbs and ballast, one by one, with the other side to rule out issues with those items.
Any time glad to be a supporter and gad you are doing ok
I would check the harness before the ballast and see if you have voltage there. Even if the fuse is good you would know if the wire is damaged or you’re missing a ground.
Hey Liz, The diffuser is coming along nicely just about done. As far as the headlight swap the bulb to the working side to make sure the bulb is good do the same with the ballast if both are good check the continuity if you don’t have a schematic you have the working side for reference. I guess it’s a ground issue let us know what you find and glad all is good keep the videos coming🦆🦆🦆👍
Awww the wonderful Mick Beth
Awesome video!!!
If you want to keep the fumes out of the house, you can put a mist of water on the floor. It keeps the dust on the floor. I've done it many times. For some reason my wife doesn't like me spray painting in the house. Great job! Thanks for the video!
It’s true. I’m a painter and sometimes we wet the floor just for this reason.
My low beams stopped working and the headlights have moisture. Maybe a fuze?
My new lights just arrived and im about to install them. Any ideas?
If have a test light see from the main harness if u have good power or use a multimeter to see if that main power wire for the head light bulb, and need battery voltage for proper power. If have that then need to check the ground.
Defused is looking good , great job.
Thank you so much !
Look forward to your next video 😊
Excellent best of luck at NJMP, maybe will be on track the same day 👍
Did you use the old ballast on one of them?
Stay safe, take care and be kind to one another! Best😘
is there any designs like these for a 2003 nissan 350z?
I would try swapping the ballasts and bulbs, in case one is bad. That's the easiest thing to try. If it still doesn't work look up the wiring schematic for the headlights to see where the harnesses are, and track them down. A visual inspection or a multimeter will tell you which one is corroded.
Thank you! i am going to try this too
Yup agree
I have ordered parts from AA ignition a division of GWA Auto parts many times.
Great job🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Go with Big Bear Venom on the electrical. I have personally seen the ground side fail on two Nissans. If your car had a ground issue, it would explain the burned up ballast. Its good to get out from time to time. Your mind needs time to rest and digest new information. Working out or having lunch will take you away from the problem so you can deal with it later with a refreshed mind.
Definitely the second pronunciation of ballast. ba-luhst
omg thank you !
@@MICKBETH happy to help. I noticed you said it both ways a couple times. I guess another way to sound it out is bal-lust. Can't wait to see that roll cage go in 👍
Yeah, it is the second one.
When she says the later. It makes them sound way sexier almost French lol I’m calling them Baluhst from now on...
@@Wayne_Nero 😂👍
great video
Looking good, the car too😍
hey MickB - try the working head light on the side that is not working to see if the head light not working is damaged.
Impressive liz well done
If you want to paint the diffusor in your garage: water the floor, so no dust will be raised up into the air. And good job with the head lights and also with preparing the diffusor! :D
swap the ballast from the right ti keft see if it works if it doesnt then it could be the harness feeding the the pigtail for the headlight
You do an excellent job and I have no idea how you can work with long nails but keep doing it!
Hola liz, new lights r sick 👍🏻 good choice like ur taste. Glad to see u happy and doing what u love to do. Keep it up and I’ll just keep watching 👀 📱just like Sarah‘s 🐧 penguin. 😎
Just get a positive wire from the driver to the left since the headlights don't take much to turn them on that way one side will turn on both headlights
Okay fine...I subscribed now😁
Cracking vid as always :) but check the connectors in the headlight plug to make sure they are fitting tight :)
A lot of a OEM Quality Parts cost of money because they are quality. Now granted a cheap set might blow quicker but you can buy a few of them for the price of one longer-lasting OEM part. So it just comes down to how much you value your time and doing swap outs and things like that. I use both aftermarket and OEM for different things depending on the job
I would start by testing the light and ballast. Just plug it into the connector for the side that works. Once you've confirmed it's not a dud light, the fun really starts. Start at the plug, with a power probe, to see which pin is dead. Then (once you're sure it's not a ground wire) start following it back through the harness until you find the dead spot. It's a task that completely sucks balls. But. Once you get it fixed, you shouldn't ever have to worry about it again.
Thank you so much, i am going to try this
If you still can't get it, ask Sarah! She's the genius about electrical. But of course you knew this being besties!🤪🤙✌👍😊😷
If you can’t afford to buy a Power Probe a cheap digital multimeter could tell you if you have proper voltage and ground at the head light connector
I would eliminate all that noise and just went with an LED kit they're about $100 but well worth it by the time you're all done and it eliminates the ballast and all of that crap
Don't paint in the basement as your furnace will pull the paint fumes out and distribute them throughout the house and also it could flash the paint fumes and start a fire 🔥 !!
If you don't have one already, add a volt ohm meter (vom) to your toolkit, for doing basic electrical troubleshooting. Looking at Amazon USA , they have a "Fluke 101 Basic Digital Multimeter" for $45. Fluke is a tier one vendor of these kind of products, so it should be a decent product. With this, you could check at the headlight connector to verify whether approximately 12 volts is present when you turn the headlights on. If not, then you can trace the harness for the fault.
Swap the complete housings and plug them to the opposite sides to test test them.If they both work on the left and not the right go to wiring. Check for ground on Black with a white stripe, 12 volts on the red. also check fuse 76 (15 amp) for power on both sides of the fuse.. If you have power at the fuse and not the red wire you have a broken wire.
Move headlight assy. over and plug in , if it works you have a wiring issue , also don't forget to also check relays as well
Keep up the good 👍work 💪👷👏
Going all out with the cage, huh? 👍🏻
The diffuser came out really well! 👏🏻
It’s amazing what some people will do with electronic components!! 😲😱
You need to rest the bCM the Body control module later trigger to code for the passenger side will not let power go to the baluster those are Pcm controlled headlights
"I was trying to figure out, why the FUCK..." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I felt that 😂
Good job
The ballast raises the voltage from your battery/alternator to the high voltage that HID (aka "projector") lights use but if there were LED replacements for your lamps you shouldn't need the expensive ballast. HID were used for a few years before LEDs were fully developed and bright enough to use as headlights. The LED conversion kits might be as expensive as the parts you got so perhaps not worth it now unless you find affordable conversion kits. The ballast can run hot and the HID are super hot so they can burn out faster than other types of lights and I'll bet there will be cheap LED replacements soon that will be even better than HID.
With anything electronic that you can switch, remove the passenger side and plug it into the working driver's side. Get a cheap multimeter, turn to voltage, unplug the working light, and test the contacts, write down all the readings. Now go, well you can see the rest of test the passenger side. If you find differences, tell someone and you'll be on your way
Grab a multi meter, set to DC volts, put one lead to the fuse and one lead to the power wire at the connector. If you have source voltage you should be good if not you either have high resistance in the wire or it’s pinched somewhere in the harness.
The ballast and "the wire", is actually the igniter. I recently replaced the same parts on my 350z too. I did too see the one you bought from Amazon, but ended up getting a used OEM from Ebay; luckily it worked.👌
As a fellow Z owner, I admire all Z owners who put in the work to maintain that beautiful car. Great content btw.
I love it
Maybe you have a private can network between the two headlights
You need a multi meter if you don't already have one. Check back to where you have good 12VDC then move down the harness until you lose power. In your case start at the hot side of the fuse, then check the other side. If you have power at the light but it still doesn't work, my guess is that you have a bad ground, probably due to corrosion from road salt.
Beautiful Nails n Good Information nice
my crushhhh
Thank you for keeping it real with us.
And "Mind your business". Lol
BTW I had a 2006 G35 coupe (mostly same car) and yeah the headlights are ridiculously expensive. Loved that car though
Get that roll cage🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
And it's insane how expensive parts are for these cars. I recently got some Depo JDM headlights from Ebay, and they were $475. OEM's were like $700 to $800 dollars, and I was like nah.
Love you girl
Check voltage, check ground, swap bulbs, swap ballast (left, right)
0:40 😆 damn right Ballast baa - last 0:49 you got it on your second try. the English pronounce it slightly differently
switch around the non working bulb & ballast with the working bulb that should give you an indication whether or not it's a bulb/ ballast issue or a wire connection issue . OEM Parts can be ridiculously expensive . Oh and Happy New Year and wishing all the best for you and your Channel in this and coming years
Plz check the connection and the main supply and also swap the left to right to check ✔ 🙏
Complete headlamp babes
It’s been a year so I know you’ve probably fixed it but I watched this video and the same thing happened when I installed the lights. We found out it was a blown fuse causing all the issue which is only a 5 minute fix
if your going to pocono race way I'm going this year too better clear a path for me to communicate lol great video
Before switching out ballast, try flipping the plug around might work...
The plug going into the ballast
The wire harness is probably burned so check it and see where u can cut off and test it before u install new wires
You skipped the step where you use an escalating degree of obscenities to make it work
That’s everyday
Oh dear.
Best xenon bulb choices - Philips or Osram.
Swap the headlight bulb to see if it follows. Swap the ballast and see if follows. Swap the entire housing and see if it follows.
Maybe a bad ground connection?
Good luck with the head light.. but they still look good
With your light do test see if power getting to the one that doesn't work. .or ask Sarah she will explain to you be best thing . You doing great job tho .x
Those are Xenon headlights. The bulbs are normally over $100 a piece.
Mind ya busniss!
I don’t even see your nails!
Car content girl!
Learning curve!
Fun!
Its weird that people wouldnt watch the whole video, if you got that far right? Anyhow.. the headlights look good.. hopefully its an easy fix and that rear diffuser is looking sweet! 🙌
Palace with a T
Ballast 😂
this
Thank you haha
I want a z bad
💯
Check your headlight relay, maybe swap with another same relay
Who made your intro?
I only came to check your nails! LOL "Mind your business!" Keeping it real Those headlights look awesome.
Get a diesel to tow with, you'll never regret it!
you didn't touch the new light bulb with your bare hands did you?
i all ways make it to the end of you videos a power sander will be faster the sanding blocks
Do you need the bumper off to take the headlights off?
yes !
@@MICKBETH thank you this will.be very helpful for the future💯💯💯
🇨🇦 Every ballast that I have worked with is polarity sensitive. I’m guessing the B+ and B- are not correct. Try that. 🇨🇦
