not sure if this is the right section, but basically i want to get some nice globes for my headlights.

i want to get a sort of blue colour for headlights and parkers. i am not after the little blue neons ppl put in there parkers, but i think they are the ones that have a higher wattage.

i am really in the dark about the different types of colours available. but all i know is that i am chasing my headlights to emit a cool blue colour. if any one has any pixs and suggestions it would be much appreiciated.

also its for a S2 skyline

cheers

sh't, no were near as bright as the standard one an twice the cost

i'v been told that any globs that are coloured are not going to be very bright but they look good

:D you insane 100w globes? I hope you mean 55w because 100w can melt your headlight casing! suppose it would depend on the type of headlight setup but most HID to Halogen take 55w!

Neways moving along

Polarg are best ..

Phillips Diamond vision if you wanna pay more but they come with parkers too ;)

I too bought new lights from repco etc .. $60 or something .. Total crap one blew within a month second in 3 months .. when i replaced the one that blew with the old one which i removed to install the repco crap they look exactly the same :D

I went and bought new HID headlights after that .. extreme yes .. but eh

Don't go with the higher wattage globes. You'll risk melting the headlight housing.

If you want the blue parker and globes, have a look on ebay. They've got all different types of colours.

In my opinion, just stay with the standard colour. Just get some decent quality Phillip's globes.

you better stick with genuine standard yellow light unless buy HID kit...

i bought globes and parkers from ebay. the parkers are great. but the light isnt bright enough.. its very hard to see at night without other lights such as street light or something... its like nothings infront of you you cant see your lights...

and they dead after 1month.. just go HID kit if you really want bright and blue colour..

Hey mate i have Phillips diamond vision in my s2 and they work fine. if you want a globe with a blue tinge, dont go any other the other lower priced ones in the phillips range as they dont seem to look that different from stock. The diamond vision arn't that expensive from memory - you dont get parkers with them either - at least i didn't. I payed under 100 but was a while ago and i cant remember exactly.

As for the parkers what you want is just white spade bit led's. the white led will come up slightly blue and works well with the diamond vision headlamp which will give you the bright white / blue glow. Do not get blue led's or blue style bulbs for parkers as they will actually look dark blue and very cr#p My only thing now is to change the fog / driving lights to a whiter bulb as the headlamps are are bright blue white which makes the fogs look real yellow.

      R33 GTST Sh*tbox to Polished T*rd

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -

      Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.

      Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
