I don't know much about HIDs. Can someone who does have a look at this link and let me know if they look ok, or do you know a better place to get them.

Is this a good price?

Is there anything I need to look out for when buying HIDs

hey that's a good price

I agree with Busky you will loose lux with higher frequency and the light colour will also change.

BTW do you guys know what type of bulb I need for my R32GTR 93 Vspec model? I wouldn't mind getting a set as my eyes are not that good at night.

I bought some off a group buy on NS.com about a year back for $280. They are 6,500k and are superb. I had them in my S15 and now have them in my R34. If you have one ounce of tech knowledge and electrical sense install them yourself - easy job. The standard S15 lights absolutely suck ass - you won't even know the car with HIDs installed - makes it a joy to drive at night.

I believe the ones I have are cheap Chinese units, but have been flawless for around a year now. I think with these cheaper units (like I have), when you blow a globe you throw the whole kit away, as replacements would be very exxy and near impossible to find (not too sure though). But HID globes are supposed to last 5x times longer than normal globes anyhow. Keep in mind HIDs are illegal unless you have self-levelling and washing capabilities, but I don't and have never had a problem.

DO IT, highly recommended!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
