Was your original fuse marked as 6A. Mine had no number, but now I'm thinking it might actually be 4A (was pink). I'll try swapping it out with a new 4 or 5 maybe.

You may be right. Looking at an auto fuse chart it jumps from 4A to 5A and then to 7.5A and the 4A is pink.

I thought it had a 6 on the top of the fuse, but it was very hard to make out. I’ll probably replace the 7.5A with the 5A to be safe.

I would rather use this harness as I don’t want to re-run another one not do I want to pull the fuse box to install the one coming.

Looked at the blown fuse this morning in better light and... it has a 3 on top... :icon14: . Couldn't see it outside yesterday since its barely recessed and it's all glossy pink plastic. Take a look at yours if you still have it.

The fuse should be 10A. They sent the wrong fuse size.

Perfect! Thanks.

I'm going to stick with my 7.5 for now then. It won't hurt to have the smaller fuse in there, as long as it doesn't blow. If it does, I'll replace it with the 10A. I'm guessing they have a 10A that fits in that holder. I'm not going to replace the harness I originally got with the new fuse box type.

Only thing better would be if I didn't have to pay for it!

I do want to get the tail lights I really like those. But I know everyone has their own opinion on them.

I'm with ya! Everyone about to have the same headlights like when OE. :roflpuke2:

At least with the OE base lights there a thousands of combinations through self or retrofit biz's.

Leo at Yuniqueled is already modifying the morimoto's.

370z Nismo with XB LED headlights
 
First and foremost s/o to Nextlevelperf I placed my order on Mar 31st so I was expecting my headlights until May, they ended up filling my order early and had them at my door by Apr 16! Don't know why or how but thank you! :tup:
The Retrofit Source answered my questions on the whole fuse situation so s/o to them too! Ended up opting to just go to my local autozone and bought a $2 dollar 10A fuse.
Anyways, I took this video a day after installing the lights. Hope you guys like it. (don't mind the monster truck wheel gap lol) :happydance:

Ok. Now that's a much better video compared tp what have seen so far, and I am starting to change my mind about these. Looks good on a PW.

eastwest2300 04-24-2020 08:06 PM

Excellent video Nestor, thanks for posting that man.

1/4atatime 04-24-2020 09:05 PM

Man that video is giving me second thoughts on these! They are starting to grow on me.
