Hey guys, probably a stupid question, but I have been having dramas with my highbeams (10 second delay before only one of them comes on) so if anybody knows where to find the relays that would be cool

Older Nissans usually did not have relays. the headlight power comes up all the way to contacts in the indicator stalk. There are seperate contacts for left and right lights as well so you could have a damaged or dirty contact in there and only have problems on one side. A test light around the connector for the indicator/headlight stalk could track it down if the fault is in there.

I'll back that up. I had to replace the stalk at one stage because of stuffed terminals. NOW I have relays for the high beams :)

It is about the best thing you can do for light output. I have done it on most of my older cars. Some of them have a really strange arrangement. I had a 240C which actually had a toggling relay. The light switch on the dash provided the power and the relay flip flopped the ground between high and low bean each time you pulled the stalk. It menat the earth side was relayed right down near the lights but the power still went up to the dash and back so it had around a 3V drop through the wiring.

Thanks for that guy's, probably explains why I couldn't locate them. Might be a good Idea create a whole new loom with relays I thinks.

I jsut used the existing loom. Cut the loom where it passed the battery, and at the cut connected the wire from the stalk to the trigger, and the wire to the lamp on the output of the relay. 12V and earth were easy as it was right next to the battery. Fused it, of course.
I can provide a photo if you wish, but it's all pretty simple

Thanks Pinelli, but I should be OK.

yeah ive got the exact same problem the right beam comes on then ten seconds later the right one comes on, how hard is it to change the indicator stalk

Very easy but good used ones are rare - and aftermarket ones might be crappy, never tried them.

your not wrong about $130 and its not the exact same one, might pull it apart and clean the contacts,see if that does the trick
