no-one really answered this but you can get oem zenon headlight for r33 series 2's. they were only avaliable in the late series 2 models, i had some on the shell i just bought but they were f*ked so i cant use them, got a quote on brand new ones and they are $1300ish each light, and good luck finiding them second hand probably anyone whos got em dun know, and if they doo i wouldnt ever be selling them

Hey man, yeah, those were teh very last of the series 2, i think some people even refer to them as series 3

really hard to find the lights though, I found some but they wanted $1800USD for them :S so screw that, I'd rather spend them on a new car

Also the bonnet is a different shape for the xenon ones, they do look mint though, they are found on most of the later model R33 GTRs but only a few of the GTS25ts :S

damn i didnt realise the bonnet was a different shape, mines a gtst but the bonnet is rooted, but so are the headlights so i guess when i put it all back together its going to be standard. i've heard of them called series 3 gtr headlights but i didnt realise these were the same as the gtst ones. you can get them brand new but who wants to pay 2600 for a pair of headlight, i can think of better things to spend my money on

Yeah man 2600 is way way way too much

I reckon get a set of Series 2 headlights if your current ones are smashed

get one or two sets of Bixenon BMW headlights

retrofit them, then get the pits sanded out of the headlight plastic and you'll be set

head over to HIDplanet.com

or GTR.co.uk and find the guy from Abbey Motorsport who did dual xenon conversion on his 33, it looks absolutely mint

Two lights on at normal beam and at high, the shrouds move to the rear of the lense and open up to full beam

MANWHORE, the camera probably doesnt do the lights justice as the light is effected by the flash and lens of the camera which adds to the "halo" effect. so they probably arent that bad! plus if they were that bad people wouldnt be able to buy them off the self and install them!

anyway i think they look good!

Just don't crash

they are illegal and if you are found with them in your car when you have an accident, the insurance company won't insure you, they'll try blame the crash on the fact that your lights "dazzled" the other driver

[adam-__-]

Would they still say that if you were to crash in the day time and you had witnesses that you didn't have your lights on?
