Skyline Bulb Types

[Tyson 1990]

Hmm turns out i actually don't have fog lights either . I thought i did because it said so in my car manual, but i checked recently and it turns out i don't.

Anyway, i think my parking lights are T10's and i have an R33 Series 1?

[rnbguy]

whats the Voltage, wattage rating of all these?

[bushells]

wot about R34 xenon headlights... anyone know wot type of bulb they are??

R34 Headlight bulbs are

Parkers: T10

Low Beam: H1

High Beam: GE 9011

Note GE 9011's were discontinued about 18 months ago,they were replaced by Toshiba 9011"s but you can also use any 9005 bulb by filing a bit off one of the tabs.

Both H1 and 9005 bulbs are as cheap as chips on everyone's favourite auction site.about $18.00 a pair including postage

If you can get a hold of the 9011's use those as they are the brightest halogen bulbs you can get.

If anyone is interested im putting together an LED kit for the R33 series 2 (maybe more models if these become popular)

Basically replacing all of the exterior bulbs with LEDs.

Fog lights

Parker lights

Front, side and rear indicators

LED indicator flasher unit (so no more fast flashing indicators)

Reverse lights

As i already have the aftermarket LED tail lights in i wont be getting LEDs for the stop lights. I did however put LED bulbs in when i had the stock tail lights in and they looked crap.

Ill post some pics in a few weeks.

Been searching for a while now, and cant find info on the bulb types for R34 tail lights.

Need to replace a bulb in the inner (smaller) tail light, does anyone know what type this is???

[LeCoq]

cheers for the help ppls

i moved the washer bottle to the side, and managed to get it out, and back in, using long nose pliers.

here's my contribution to your thread

the parker bulb type, and holder. R33

hey just asking how did u managed to put the new light in??? I got a series 2 R33 and it is very tough to put it back...did u twist it or something?? mine is a 15mm wedge btw...so its a big bigger

[Duchie]

Hey can u replace the T10 parkers with like the high intensity blue lights like u can for the H1s?

[NYTSKY]

Firstly its very illegal to have coloured parker lights.

And yes you can change the lights to High Power LEDs.

[DRD-00F]

Exactly that.

I did it, got sick of it pretty quick, too much attention.

.. And be careful even with 'so-called' white LEDs. My car had DAN-666 'white' LEDs which when I was forced through a Regency defect inspection for my exhaust, they added my 'too blue parkers' to the list of things to the *new* defect list. Awesome.

[NYTSKY]

They would have thought they were blue because they would have been comparing the colour to your yellow halogen headlights.

[jrm]

Nope, cos I had the factory xenons in there with the 4300K bulbs (they pinged me for those too)

[666DAN]

Yep for the reason shown below, something that is 'less yellow' appears 'more blue' even though it is a spectrally a definate pure white (5000k to be exact) it is 'less yellow'

than a 3000K tungsten bulb.

A good example is to put the white LED next to a BLUE one, it actually appears 'more yellow' but for the clowns at Regency 'perecption is reality'

this thread started awesome until everyone started asking too many questions lol soon there will be 100 pages. good idea to make a new sticky once all lights are confirmed. R33 example was good with pics n all, good stuff man!

[jrm]

It sucks - I hate having gone back to factory yellow parkers next to the Xenons; Looks absolutely *stupid* At least I've managed to keep LEDs for interior bulbs, map lights, etc!

Hi, does anyone know if you can upgrade the globes on the Driving lights for an R33 series 2. I see from this thread they appear to be 55W H3's and I know that for the headlights (being plastic) you shouldn't go above the stock 55w bulbs, but does the same apply for thre driving lights? (are these lenses also plastic?)

[NYTSKY]

They are fog lights mate. And are pretty much illegal to use in 90% of driving conditions. Which is why i put an SMD LED cluster bulb in there, so now they are driving lights.

I could argue the point to the police if i get pulled over, i probably wont win seeing how the rest of the car breaks nearly every rule in the book
