Do I Need A Hid Conversion

[R34NRG]

my standard HID Xenons got taken out during complience (IM SO FREAKN PISSED) and im left with some shockn lights now. been meaning to get the cosmo blue or something else but i realli want to know something before that happens.

if they took out my HID Xenons....does that mean i cant put xenon globes in anymore? if thats the case i need a conversion huh?

EDIT:: just checked wat type of globes my car needs....normally the R34 GTTs use H1s correct? and H4s for the parking lights? i just noticed some losers changed my lights to H3s......wth and why would they do dat? i think complience may of did this.

can someone tell me the diff between a H1 and a H3....infact wats the diff between em all?

sell ur car and buy another one with xenons in it

[R34NRG]

u sai it like its a easi thing to do

[Baz]

Apart of complying R34's is modifying the headlights and removing the xenon's and all the wiring associated with it.

[R34NRG]

yeh but why wiring it into a H3?

Not sure, thats the way the SEVS guys want it done

[Mr. Oizo]

Non self-levelling xenon's are illegal in australia

lol...

Andru, just buy a new HID set.

yeh for some reason im with u lol.

but lets say i put those M tec cosmo blue globes in my car.....wat would be the difference if i had a HID set and just havn the globes themselves...

Blue light is dimmer than white light in the light spectrum

Blue light makes you drowsy at night

Blue light is shithouse in the rain and in any sort of fog

But if you want to be like all the other ricers with "super white" or blue headlights, go ahead. :sorcerer:

4300K HID's are probably as white and therefore as bright as you can get.

personally i want red....but i havnt seen any.....infact i realli dont like blue or white cuz dats all u see on the roads.....even though its the most logical....i want something diff...i rkn it suit the r34 rear lights aswell...so it all flows good

Mtec is blue light, thats all. Infact yellow light is much brighter. also my mtec head lights blew up after 2 or so months. i went back to stock yellow ones.

for next headlamps bulbs ill be getting Narvia 50 +, they emit long range light.

[Mr. Oizo]

for next headlamps bulbs ill be getting Narvia 50 +, they emit long range light.

The reflectors in your headlight housing are what determines the "range" of the headlight, not the bulb

[n15m0]

Right...so you want red headlights???

Andru, I don't know whether you'll listen to me or not, as in the past, you haven't seemed to listen to others, but i'll just give you a few quick points.

Blue/white bulbs are not brighter. they are just rice. they are white because of the blue filter. Essentially, they filter out yellow light and only let through the whiter light. the majority of light from a halogen bulb is yellow.

Plus 50 globes are the best bulbs you can buy. at the 50-70 m, they have about twice the light output. They add xenon gas into the atmosphere of the halogen bulb making it burn hotter and therefore brighter. As a side beenfit, they are also whiter (brighter is whiter - imagine a 25 watt light globe at home, very yellow and dull, compared to a 100 watt globe - bright and white).

hid aftermarket kits are f**king shit. Shit cut off, shit light. Expect to glare others and be defected. That is, not really brighter. shines light in all the wrong ways.

Original xenons for r34 are cheap. i've seen them go for 500-800$.

So either do plus 50 globes + relay mod for max light output using halogen globes.

or get original xenons, biut don't do aftermarket kit.

If you're just in it for looks - those white bulbs are ok if you just want looks. they're just not as bright. if you get one with an overpowered filament with xenon gas and blue filter, it might just be about as bright as a standard yellow halogen globe - not bad.

Dark, read what Sir d said carefully. He is correct.

Keep in mind, that a headlight is a very precise instrument. A mm movement here or there completely changes optics. Especially over a range of say 50-100 m when the reflector is only about 10x10 cm.

Now, essentially, what the plus 50 bulbs do is this I said it above, but i'll clarify it more:

They contain xenon gas in the atmospher of the bulb, which makes the halogen cycle occur more efficiently. Therefore, they can overpower the filaments to make them burn hotter and therefore, brighter without them burning out.

It has been tested many times. I have conducted tests myself as part of my and my father's work. In the 50-70 m range, light output is about 50% more.
