No pics of them atm but when i installed them i seemed to have knocked the socket in towards the door on the drivers side and now, for some weird reason when i unlock the door and and get in and close the door, this light seems to flicker yet the passenger side light does the right thing and turns off...
Why?

Why?

quite possibly the light is not fully pushed in

Quite possibley..... There has got to be an easier way than pulling the door apart...

cant you just take the lense cover off and do it from there?

No, because the socket is pushed further in towards the trim of the door.
For some stupid reason my computer isn't recognizing my phone that is clearly plugged into it so i cannot upload a pic.

Hope this awesome picture helps..

I'de be taking the door trim off.

The flickering is quite possibly a short in the circuit (by the pushed in socket). So it intermitently gets power and flickers.....

Bugger, Now how do i take off the trim?

bahahahaha best picture ever!
nice!

um to get the trim of
from memory theres a screw in the air vent circle thing, a screw underneath the door and a screw in the handle/hole thing

Mmmmm yyyyeeeeaaaahhh, i think i'm going to leave that for after work tomorrow... joy.

Might order my suspension off Phillcom Rally after work tomorrow aswell

Ordered those clear lenses from mitsu, [shhh]ayne. They're coming in from japan and will get here arrive there on the 26th and will wait for 4 days in a container at mitsu... so the 30th for 2 plastic lenses... what a joke

Just bought a woodgrain stereo surround off ebay for $20

And i'm hunting for rims...

So exciting i think i wee'd a little

ooh, i seriously love the crystal visions! friend got himself the combo of both parkers and headlights, although they look blue, they're on the boarder of being a natural beam IMO... i just can't afford the $100 price tag they're asking for.. and coz my headlights are H3 (not H4) i think it's either a tad more expensive, or crystal visions aren't made for H3, not sure..

ur lights looking good though!

Cheers dude,
Though they do look a lot different compared to the color of the normal lights, might get the headlamps in white crystal vision..

They're not cheap that's for sure

wholly crap!
what happened?
lol

Taking off door trim:

Open door lol

Screw in the air vent hole (front of door)
Screw behind the handle (open handle for a look)
Screw in the thingy you hold (atleast in normal magna's) use a flat blade to pop the plastic covering the screw.

Then you should be able to pry the door trim off (start from the middle and work your way out)

Tilt door towards you, and disconnect the power windows.

Yeah i know..Was like that when i bought it and hasn't peeled off any more since i've had it..
Looks like a ciggie burn underneath the air freshener..

I got a crack in the clear plastic in front of the speedo and a crack in the middle of the lights above the driver and passenger head... Dunno what the previous owner was doing in the car but she seemed like a nice, well behaved individual...

oh yeh i forgot about the screw in the handle
what was i thinking

goodluck anyway man

Hmm... pulled off the trim (Didn't need to unscrew everything, trim is clipped on, just pulled it off and then popped it back on..

but when i unlock the car, get in, close the door this light continues to stay on...
Going to take it back to autobarn... nothing possibley could have happened to the wiring in that space of time..

thats weird the just pulled of

even though when they installed my speakers they didnt put the lights back in the holes and the door handles didnt close fully

lucky the following week i got my windows tinted and they fixed it all as they had to pull the trims if anyway

dodgey autobarn

If they fail to find the reason (which, wouldnt suprise me)

Take a camera, pull the trim off, and take a snap of the back of the light - a decent close up shot if you can.

If they are LEDs they do that.... I had the same problem.. I changed them back to the standard bulbs....

Does the passengers door still flicker or just the drivers...

I also found that once the car is off and you activate the alarm/immobiliser it all goes off anyway.

Steve

when i tried putting leds in my doors before i had the same problem.
i noticed when i was driving around the drivers side door light was flickering so i just took out the leds and went back to regular globes.

would be interesting to see if anyone has overcome this problem.

Just the drivers side door, Passenger side is fine and doing the right thing..

Took the globes back to autobarn and got them replaced with another set (different brand but same style). And i put them in and it still flickered..

_Nick_, You say you had this same problem and you replaced with original globes and they work fine?

Hmm.. too bad i threw mine out ffs!

maybe put the crystal vision globes in your doors and the LEDS as your park lights?

They're 2 different types
In the doors they're Wedge ones
And in the parkers they're normal ones (?)

Both are LED

ahh k,
the tj has wedges for both thats y i suggested it.

Recieved that woodgrain stereo surround a few days ago... turns out it fits fine as instructed... just too bad that it's a different colored woodgrain to mine!!!!

I have a redish woodgrain appearance whereas this new surround is more of a darkish brown color..... NOT HAPPY

anyone after a cheap stereo suround lol


ahh k,

Sorry mate my mistake i think they were both wedge shaped ones.

The globes here are over priced.

I get a set of Crystal visions about $70.00 and Diamonds at about $75.00

The lights look blue when at first but slowly becomes normal white.

I've found some Crystal Visions on eBay for about $50 posted from the UK. They are 4300K H4 12V 60/55W. I've got a TH Advance, so non parras for those who don't know. Just wondering if these are suitable for my car/will fit? Also are these likely to be genuine or fake? Has anyone else bought CrystalVisions off eBay before? Good or bad experiences?

Btw here's the picture from auction:
