Brand New D2r Hid Globes, Direct Drop-in For R34's With Factory Hid, 2 X 6000k And 1 X 8000k


Recommended Posts

As the title says, these are brand new drop-in replacements for those highly expensive HID D2R factory globes.

Can be replaced in minutes, I've got

2 x 6000K sets (very white)

1 x 8000K set (slight blue hue) SOLD

$75 for a set (2 globes) delivered express throughout Australia.

Hey Dan, how do these compare with the stock HID's? (The 6000k ones)

And would it match the color of your LED's?

They're very close in colour to the LEDs actually, I always think (being fussy) the stock HID are slightly less blue than the LEDs. This could be due to age of my factory ones though. Also the new bulbs have a slight colour shif after 500 hours and get a bit white-bluer.

Got decent white (but not noticeably illegal) replacements for halogens? Bastards at compliance never returned my Xenons...

Sorry no halogens, only HID

whats the kelvin rating on the stock HID's?

And can the wiring/loom handle 8000k

8000K refers to the colour temperature, they don't use any more current load than the stock globes, these are 35W just the same.

I've heard figures of 4200-4700K for stock...I'm tending toward the 4700K

i got 2 sets of dan awsome xennon bulbs .. huge diff over stock 4200k xennons.. thanks a bunch bud for them :banana: well worth the money

P.S my fatory booklet states mine was a 4200K maybe the earlier ones were different??.. 8000K is worth it :yes:

does the 8000k still light up as much or more as the standard ones?

I haven't done the 6000K side by side with the 8000K, but it was brighter than the stock ones, just with a bluer tinge to it. My stock ones are older though and probably getting toward the end of their useful life.

Dan just letting you know i found my steaga S2 lights they use D2R as well your 8000K ones fit in Steaga perfectly exact same setup as 34

S2 Steaga are Xennon Series one stock H4 or H1..

i don't want to be doing that.

You turn the cover with one hand, keeping pressure on it, flip the plastic tab with your finger slightly and it'll jump over the screw. When you do it up, just don't force it past when you screw the cover back.

Also which way do i turn the covers and how much do i turn them to take it off?

Is there no place that sell the star shaped allen keys? :laugh:

    • I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
    • The old approach was to fill the cylinder/chamber with a length of rope pushed in through the sparkplug hole. The new approach is to connect compressed air to the sparkplug hole and fill it with enough pressure to push the valves up. Doing either of these things with the head on and the engine in the car is a lot less pleasant than doing it properly.
    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
