Hey All,

I own an r34 gtt with xenon headlights and the bulb on the passengers side has died.

I'm having difficulty opening the headlight to remove the dead xenon bulb.

There's a larger circular piece behind the bulb area that looks like it can be rotated to remove but it won't budge.

Can anyone please provide some steps on how to replace the xenon bulb?

Thanks in advance!

Ed

Hi there, the way i opened mine was just to rotate it counterclockwise.. maybe you have to use a little bit more force? I'll be putting in xenon bulbs tonight/tomorrow afternoon so i'll double check..

while I'm at this. the way to get the bulb out is just squeezing the bottom bit (where it connects to the wire) together yeah?

cheers

I changed mine yesterday..

There should be a little screw before u turn the cap.. u should see it..

after you unscrew take the cap off..

After you should see like 2 clip pushing the light inside just unclip that and you can change your bulb..

Hope that works for you..

hmm mine didn't have screws..weird but i changed the bulb.. in about 20mins and that include fiddling with the battery to get my hands behind de lights of the driver side.

woohoo.. not hard at all.. I'm just waiting for night to test out the white light. So Deejay how's it going then?

hey i have a 34 but no xenon, (i think). how do i know if i have it? is there a power supply or something like that?

I am pretty sure 99.9% that all R34's have xenons. If you look at your head light it says the word xenon below the bulb on the main headlight not your parkers like you have on in the picture in your sig.

Hey guys,

I was finally able to replace the bulb, the circular cap was screwed on incorrectly making it difficult to remove. :laugh:

Now my problem is, it's a different colour to my old bulb. :teehee:

Anyone know where I can order another bulb in melbourne?

I'm looking for a D2R bulb, 6000k temp.

What is a decent price for one?

I saw some on ebay but they are some crappy taiwan brand. I'd prefer the philips hid bulbs

Cheers!

all r34s brought in under sevs shouldn't have xenons, they're removed at compliance. People do put them back in though.

Hi,

Thats interesting as someone else mentioned that, so far all the R34's I have seen had them so I assumed that they kept em, do you know why they had to be removed? Is it cause they are so bright or something cause I know the ones I had are super bright.

    • Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.    
    • In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.
    • planning a r34 rb25 de+t with some other work, rather just have it done in a shop due to space limitations any recommendations? I have most the parts already I seen online Moore Performance and DR Drift any advice appreciated thanks 
    • I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks. 
    • Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
