Hi, I'm looking aorund to buy new globes for the front of my series 2 r33, have asked around a few shops, although nobody seems to know the exact globe type suits the:

headlights

parker lights

high beams and

round fog lamps.

I am looking to make change everything to phillips crystal vision globes (ice white). Although I need to know what tye of globe fitting/size/type I am asking for!?

If anyone can tell me this would be greatly appreciated!

don't use any globe with a blue tint on the lens.

it inevitably cuts your light output and blue light is worse for visibility because it scatters easily when it hits air/water. this creates glare.

plus-50's FTW.

I want something that will give off the most light, not because it looks blue

phillips plus 50's

Yes I am after something thats bright white, not blue as they look cheap as. Any Ideas?

phillips blue vision give off a white-ish light, but it is only as bright as a standard bulb. i currently use them and they are better in the skyline than in other cars i've owned. i also have phillips gt150's in my other car and they work well. give off a white-ish light, but are yellower than the blue vision, and from the front have a blue reflection in them.

i'm not 100% sure, but i don't think BATMBL's bulbs are legal either. i don't think they have been ADR approved for road use, which means if you have a crash at night where you hit someone or something, your insurance company can say that your lights were part of the cause and refuse to pay up.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
