dude that's like seriously weird, the main power for the headlights doesn't run through the stork at all. Thats what the head-light relay(s) are for. Sounds like you wired it wrong
Hey everyone,
the other day I got sold new headlight for the quad lights in the ke70 and got some HID bulbs to fit into them. Now when I have the car running and then turn the headlights on the wiring from the headlight stalk is getting all heated and basically catching on fire.
Is there any way I can get past this problem without running new wire from the stork?!? I thought about a fuse bracker but will that be enough or just keep blowing the fuse. Hopefully someone has had this problem and knows a way around it or can help.
Thanks in advance...
Cheers,
barnzy :-)

First and fore-mostly, i must ask, are you deadly serious in saying you have HID bulbs?
Cause you can't just whack HID 'bulbs' in a normal H4 headlight socket. Neither can you simply plug them in, there is a bit of dicking around getting igniters and shit like that to work.
So, do you really have a HID bulb setup, or do you just have blue / white / uprated bulbs.
If the former, you've had pretty fucking amazing blind luck to get this far and not realize what you're doing
If the latter, you need to re-asses your wiring as the power feed doesn't run through the combination switch (stalk) so you've cocked something up

You can have any brew you want... as long as it's a Datsun / Corolla / What is that?
Sorry they were just brighter bulbs in the hesloghts as the standard ones are just shot house but it is for dome reason
making the wiring loom off the stork start getting hot.
I guess the only way to do it will be to re-wire the headlights and also throw a fuse bracker in there for extra care.
it should still have no effect on your stalk, you have a wiring fault
