kinks, what I was saying for you, is that the hid kit is not a good idea.

bulbs are a top idea. if you're worried about life, get the plus 30s, still bright, but last a lot longer than the plus 50s. but, you're meant to change bulbs every 12 months anyways, so even if the plus 50s blow once a year, it's fine (bulbs lose brightness).

relay mod doeosn't detract from bulb life much. It will give you a lot more light though. stock wiring gives the bulbs about 11 ish volts. relayed, they can get 13.8 volts which is worth about 50% more light.

in regards to installing a 4100 kelvin hid kit, that won't help anything. the problem is in the optics, not the colour. Look at the pictures from that link posted above.

Each to their own CCCP. Xizor likes them. I like the colour too, that's why i'm fitting sIII gtr lights to my car (not a straight fit on, needs many parts to be changed e.g. bonnet, grill etc.

G`day mate,

I own a `96 R33 GTR and just got the OEM Xenons headlights of this model, but they have no ballasts or globes. Because i cant get any exact stats. on either i cant even look up the aftermarket stuff. I`ve been told to go D2S around 4-5k but most have H or diff. letters infront. Do you know the factory specs of the bulbs?

The ballasts are even worse. I`ve found nothing about that.

Any help or recom. where/who could help much appreciated!

Regards Martin

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
