omg omg omg, What’s with the fancy colouring?

Do yourself a favour. Go to Canadian Tire and replace your bulbs with the Bosch H4 conversion.

Dunno about your speedo. Check cabling/fuse/whatever. There’s
probablly link to the S13 factory service manual somewhere in the FAQ section.

how much is it for the Bosch H4 conversion bulbs?? easy to install??
doesn’t it have to be right size and everything?

& the speedo… i fixed that problem

gj, care to share how you fixed it and what the problem was?

Bosch H4 kit is like $100cad after tax and everything.

Install is easy. Take off your old headlight, stick in new headlight/mounting bracket.

the combi switch (the stalk, high/low, signal) is notorious for failing.

Take off your steering wheel, and expose the switch. There’s a bunch of brass contact tabs there. Check and see if any are bent, or dirty. Try cleaning it up the best you can.
