R34 Owners In Sa

[Iron Chef]

Yes I know it has been covered, but my questions weren't answered.

Does anyone local with Xenon headlights still run them?

I've got a set which will obviously be removed for compliance and am wondering whether they're worth keeping enough to switch the whole headlight units for factory halogen ones before compliance, or whether to just let the workshop modify them to halogens and not go to the trouble.

Obviously, if someone has factory halogen lights lying around, PM me.

we can swap if u want

Well worth swapping before compliance if the option is open to you.

Once you've driven with Xenons you can't go back. It's not just a looks thing.

[vange]

i agree with Abo Bob, i got HID's on my 33 and it makes the rd look soo much nicer

[Madaz]

it was my understanding R34 came standard with Xenons so why do u have to swap

[WWWDOT]

Xenons aren't ADR approved.

The only reason European ones get them through is cause there are so many and they are self levelling, e'g' if ur car is driving up a hill they will lower.

The rules are shit but they are an unbelievable invention.

the more colour in the globe the less actual light from the globe, e.g. 5000k white lights up the most, and 10,000-12,000k purple least light.

I can do custom installs if need be, and they are only suitable for projecting through a lense as the light needs to be focused, so u need r31 lights or r33 gtr lights. Or u could go and get vx calais lights and modify them to your existing.

hahaha - actually that's not a bad idea - you can run them for 3 months at least while I wait for testing to be done. Expect a phone call soon.

Xenon lights are awsome, i'm still running them in my 34

[kralster]

I wanna get mine converted back to xenon. How much would i be looking at cost wise? and will i be able to use the switch near the steering wheel to control the level?

[Nightcrawler]

no all R34s don't have Xenons - mine doesn't.

I have installed an aftermarket HID kit in my R34, which i had in my S15/200SX. They worked brilliantly in my S15, had a nice cut-off line and all was good.

However, as WWWDOT pointed out, my standard R34 headlights are not projectors, so the HID light looks very bright from the front and there is no cut-off line. I am considering taking WWWDOT's advice and modifying my standard lights to include VX Calais projectors. I am very worried about getting defected for them, as even though I have pointed them way down at the road, they are still very bright from an oncoming car's perspective.

Maybe eyelids would be a cheaper option andrew,

Wanna swap for a few months?

[kralster]

Yeah why not.

you need it done for compliance?

[yoshiE]

hay guys, I ran a HID light system on my race bike last year. I had a single HID set up on a 7'' hella. Was the best money ive spent. Hid's provide the best light, and the whiter the light the clearer everything seems. I Used the light in the 24 hour and all the other road trials and they are just amazing. I cant wait to get some for my car!

[sskylinee]

i heard that some places actually keep your 34 xenon headlights in exchange for the halogen ones when they do compliancing? correct me if im wrong

i was told best enterprises does this.. so some ppl might of had xenons in their cars but had them taken out without knowing??

who did you guys go through for compliance??

[Iron Chef]

Don't worry guys - all sorted. Kralster, I owe you a 6 pack
