Hello All,

Recently purchased a R34GT-T that came with the Xenon headlights. As you know these lights look great!! :)

The only problem I have is that the high beams look yellow when they are turned on and although it is not anything major I am a bit anal and wish them to be whiter so they blend in with the Xenons.

I pulled the High beam globe out but it was a globe that I have never seen before. Not sure if it is H1 H2 etc, looks totally different.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction and tell me what type/part these high beams globes are.

Pictures below.

Also do you know what type the park lights are for these headlights as well? Pls let me know a pic of the headlights are required!

Great forums here!! :D

Thanks n15m0,

True about the high beamers, may not be worth it. Just did a quick search on google and not much came up for HIR1. What happens if this blows in the future, where can I get them?

I called Autobarn and they said they never heard if the HIR1 globe and when the times comes to replace just conver the connect to a H1 and install a H1 globe in. What are your thoughts?

Also any idea how to get to the parker lights? Do i have to unscrew the whole healight assembly?

Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they are HIR1, thats whats written on top of the headlight assembly...my left one has been blown for ages...never bothered to replace yet...coz I never use high beam much..

Parkers are piss easy...(if you have small hands like me). No need to remove headlight assembly. Just reach inside the corners where the parkers are..there is a twist knob thingy...turn it and the whole thing comes out with the bulb itself...the battery side might be easier that the air filter side..might have to move the filter slightly to get into it if you have big hands...

replaced mine in like 1min for both..:D

Yeah as much as i dont like to admit it, i have been thinking exactly the same thing. I already had the blue phillips parkers and they still looked really yellow next to the xenons, so i bought some LED globes from Autobarn for like 6 bucks, and they look so much better, very happy with them.

I replaced mine when the headlights were out about a year ago.

I bought mine from Autobahn, they were a standard item.

They will need a very slight modification with a file, but not much.

BASS OUT

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
