I haven't had problems with coppas yet... but I do get a lot of attention from everyone else. The headlights are mad.. especially when you just turn them on, they flicker, dim at first then growing brighter... a brilliant white/blue...

Yeah, gotta agree with the auto-leveling thing there, that's what i was told in regards to imports and BMW's.

sorry, but i'm getting confused. So in creation/dale's case they have the standard headlights and if they wanted to put xenons in, they would have to?

1. Change over the ENTIRE casing/cluster whatever, with Xenon ones?

2. Just change the bulbs?

3. Something else entirely that i've missed

cheers.

they cant....xennons must be self cleaning and levelling!

[SS8_Gohan]

yep, i have managed to get that. So u can't buy self cleaning/auto levelling sets for the R34's as they don't have those abilities bcos Japan doesn't require them to have it?

Ok, so.... if u don't care about the boys in blue, is it a bulb thing or a whole cluster thing?

sorry troy, had about 10 hours sleep in the last 3 days (thank you US Masters, damn it Tiger!!)

cheers!

ok SS8- the answer to that question is: The whole assembly / cluster needs to be changed over.

My current headlights [whole assembly] are from the base model skyline [advised by ylwgtr] and are used to comply the car, the xenon assembly is whats taken out during compliance.

In addition to this I think ylwgtr mentioned that he knows someone who can convert the xenon one to standard but doesnt recommend destroying a good set of xenons!

Howzat???

ps. if you look closely at both headlight assemblies / clusters there is plenty of visual difference too, between the Xenon and Halogen [searching for pics...hang on]

A picture speaks a 1000 words [here's 2000 in one post ]

CR34TION,

PM sent

[SS8_Gohan]

ahhh very different. Thanks Dale!! :)

Howzatt?? very good, nice answer, not feeling so blonde now (no offence to the blondes )

So, if i import a R34 GT-T, when they compliance it, they take them off, put the halogen ones in... can i then, once regoed, put the Xenons back in?? Do i get to keep them when the compliancer takes them out?? Cos i reckon that's the go, get it complianced, then throw em back in!

Second question, can u buy LEGAL Xenons for R34's? Or Self cleaning/auto levelling kits for the Standard R34 Xenons?

Whose is the silver R34 Dale?

[NismoR34]

The silver 34 belongs to MUTEX - can't remember his name, he came to the last dyno day...

What you reckon is "the go" is what a lot of people do / have done. The only exception being dodgy compliancing that doesnt change them!

From what I can make out of ylwgtr's posts you can NOT buy a kit for the 34. You may be able to buy an HID Xenon kit just as you can for other makes / models - I have seen these advertised in car mags but are over $800 from memory...

*Raise hand in the air*... I know a few dodgies....

[ice180]

they should take the globes out when they do the compliance and then give them back to you after its done for you to do with what you like ask vspecv or franky with the yellow 34 in siddeley.

[ylwgtr2]

ok...the xennon bulbs are $250 each.....as far as i know you cant fit the h1 globes in with out getting the bases modified.Sorry about the late reply

[NismoR34]

cool, thanks ylwgtr!

thats much better than $700 [or $330 even]. If all goes well I will have mine over easter

[sxboss]

for xenon kits have a look at http://www.xenall.com.au/

i know of cars that have xenon's and were complianced with them in it...

this is the main reason why i want to buy a skyline because i will buy one with xenons already in it!!!!!!!!!!!

[ylwgtr2]

u want to buy one bcoz of the headlights???:confused: anyway....what i have posted regarding this issue is 100% correct.......i dont understand what is so to understand...i give up on this topic

[sxboss]

all that im saying is xenon light is fantastic and i want a car with xenon lights....

plus i do know of a car that has been complianced without the xenon lights being removed...

[ylwgtr2]

and who did that???

[sxboss]

place in qld

its is a r33 gtr vspec and the xenon lights came stock on the car, the main change was the seat belts.... i assure u that the lights were not removed for compliance..

bit of rewiring for brake lights, and the rest of the usual crap..

[ylwgtr2]

well they should have been...they did a shifty job then...

[sxboss]

what about if i import a s15 silvia, they have level adjusters and so forth will that car be ok???
