I think your best option is to do a retrofit. You would need a pair of projectors, pair of ballast and a pair of HID globes. People usually go for the largest projector they can fit in the housing. I would say your best to visit hidplanet.com for more information.

Doing a retrofit of some sort on your headlights will be illegal, but I highly doubt a police officer will defect you for them. Retrofits don't usually glare too much if you're using good quality lens and globes.

The 'normal' projectors are usually only low beam where as bi-xenon are high and low beam in the one projector.

And yeah, try to get your hands on some honda euro projectors and get some genuine philip branded ballasts and globes.

Cheers

I'm not too sure, but I think it was 2.5" or 3". Best to go hidplanet.com. They use these projectors quite a lot. The american name for them would be 'tsx' projectors or 'tl'. One of them is bi-xenon and the other is just low beam. Shouldn't be too hard to find out which one it is.

They're called 'tl' projectors. Just do a quick search on hidplanet.com and it should give you a pinned thread of the sizes of common projectors used. S2000 projectors, BMW projectors etc.

did you mean search on hidplanet forum or a web site?

on website there are only porsche and RS6 or s6...

found s2000 projector on US ebay

ive got a dimension from seller but...

which dimension should i have to consider to know whether its going to fit on my R34???

just lens dimension? or full braket?

the seller gave me this:

Honda S2000

Height: 105.60mm

Diameter = 71.70mm

Width Trimmed from the stock bracket= 113.50mm

Length = 135.30mm

Length(seat of the lens to mounting holes) = 41.40mm

Length(mounting holes to end of bulb) = 93.90mm

cheers

Yeah, sorry, I meant search on the hidplanet.com forum.

The main thing would be to get a lens which would still fit in the stock headlight housing. And for the brakets, I'm not too sure mate. :thumbsup: Best to do some research on the hidplanet.com forum. See what others are doing and apply your knowledge. :rolleyes:

I think there should also be a write up on how to retrofit hids into the r32 headlight. I'll try and find the thread for you. It's on sau somewhere.

yes i found that thread and read.. but its R32.. mine is r34... so not sure i can do myself..

need someone else who can do it and has some warranty for moisture inside of headlight....

do you know anyone do this installation?

cheers~

Nah I don't mate. I haven't heard of anyone in Aus being able to do it (as a job). I think it's best to do it yourself. Try reading on hidplanet.com forum a bit more to see if you can work it out. From what I've seen on that site, you'll be pretty satisfied with the outcome.

I want to do a retrofit one day, just not on the skyline.

Goodluck with it though mate.

No worries.

I see you're after a set of genuine hid lamps now. I think someone said it was about $800 for a set off yahooauctions. I think it'll be best to attack the compliance people who took them out in the first place. :P

They'll be in Aussie somewhere. If you bought your car from a import car dealer, chances are they took them out. Not too sure if you'll be able to get the lights off them though, but good luck.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
