R33 Series 2 Park Lights

[hayden49]

hey guys,

at the moment my r33 gt-st has the standard yellow park lights and they are getting abit dim.

my driving lights are HIDS and i want the park lights to have the same colour as my driving lights.

does anyone know what i should replace the standard park lights with? i have searched but as usual the search utility is pretty useless.

there are 2 options. 1 is to get some phillips blue vision park bulbs. they will make it whiter. or you could go to while LEDs.

ahhh i recently put some blue vision bulbs behind my tacho, speedo etc so ill buy some tommorow and swap them over, cheers

[siddr20]

Yup thats what i have also..

Was really cheap from andrew (kudos motorsport -sponser here)

[hayden49]

What about the interior light and the map lights?

is there a replacement available for those that make a white/blue light?

i fudging hate that crappy yellow light the stocko ones make!

cheers

you can get those bulbs with leds in them. i haven't ever seen a blue vision type bulb for them. i have a interior bulb that is blue (has a blue coating that is darker than the blue vision) and it makes it sort of blue, but i don't like it as it is too dim. as for the map lights i'm not sure what sort of bulb they are.

the blue vision bulbs in the dash are bright aren't they! did you put sleeves over them? i didn't and they are nice and bright, and white.

[hayden49]

Nah didnt put sleeves in them and yes they are bright, WAAAYY better then the standard bulbs, i can actually see the speed im doing now at night.

i changed my park lights over to the philips blue vision but it didnt really make a differece, the light that comes out is still yellow looking, well they might look different at night anyhow.

i bought a little 4 LED bulb to replace the interior, it looks way nicer but is abit dimmer then the original, but if i need to read ill use the map lights.

now to replacing the bulbs behind the climate control......

[mad082]

are you headlights yellowed at all (the lenses)? if they are then cleaning them would make the bulbs whiter.

What bulbs have you guys used to replace behind your speedo etc? I am VERY interested in doing this. Can you show me a pic of the result?

[mad082]

i did a how to on it. will get the link.

the bulbs are the phillips bluevision. they are about $8 a pair, and you need 5 all up, but i only used 4 (left the normal 1 in the fuel gauge with a blue cover).
