Hey guys just thought id add some imput on the kelvin rating with HIDs.I have had both 6500k and 8000k and the 8000k is really blue.I wouldnt recommend these as i have been defected for them.6000k or 6500k is perfect.Nice white light with a very slight blue tinge.10,000k and over would be rediculous for street use.The higher the kelvin the blue and less bright the light is.Though 8000k will still be 2-3 times more bright than halogens.

As with installation you have to drill a bigger hole in the bulb cover at the rear of the headlight assembly for the gromet to fit in nicely.Meaning if you want to revert back to stock you will have a big whole in the cover unless you keep the gromet and feed the stock wires through.

If anyone is interested i have a set of HIDs in my garage with 8000k bulbs.It is Jap made and of high quality.

IMO HIDs are too bright for the reflector lenses of the R33s.R32s perfect.

Here are some pics of cars with varied kelvin HID kits (note that most cars have projector lenses look how much glare there is with reflector lenses).

How much for a HID kit to fit a 180sx (think h4)? Was after two prices, the 4100 or 4300 as well as the 6000 please?

Also, do you use genuine Phillips globes?? If not, what globes do you package with the kits?

Is it $260 or more than that? Question has been asked a few times but not yet answered I don't think...

Lastly, are you located in melbourne? Any chances of doing an installation at a good price? PM me your response if you like.

Anyone got links to what the HID's look like in a 180sx?

Very interested, much appreciated, and will pass the info onto NS.com when I get the answers. We ALL want HID! :blush:

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
