they are H1, u will need 1 for each light .. just open the bonnect look behind the light .. its very easy once u see it... twist the cover open.. play around with the clip that holds it there ... you'll know when u see it .. and those blue xenons i don't think are blue at all .. just white .. they turn less white after a while of use ..

hope that helps

Get Philips or Osram. Both brands sell very good quality blue and white bulbs. Most of the other "blue" brands produce the wrong kind of blue (there are exceptions but I don't know of them). I am going to get some Philips white bulbs myself. They're only $80 for 4, but I am holding off until I get my tax refund. My insurance came in and it hurts :P

Narva bulbs are over-powered to get their brightness and as such tend to fail early.

well from what i know pretty much everything out there is pretty shit .. there is one brand called ... damn i can't remember ...oh yeah its PIAZZ ... its what u find in BMW and all them $$$ cars stock ... they are the whitest and brightest u will ever see ... but i think it costs like 150 a pair ... my cousin had them on his R33 and they looked the goods ... but if u can't afford them ... well just do what i do and get whatever cause you're goign to be replacing them heaps heheehe ... just don't get any grease on the bulb or u will be replacing them even more ... :mad:

The only place that used to sell them was a place in melb that closed down.... they were like $150 a pair but were marked up heaps. I got mine for like 70 bucks a pair from Hong Kong. There must be someone around in Aust (even a mail order place) that can get them for under a hundred bucks

The Philips Vision Plus I want to get are $40 a pair from Autobarn. I think Covingtons might be a bit cheaper, I will check there before I buy. I think the blue ones are in the same price range.

Hippy, I don't think they're illegal, but ask the shop guys. If you don't want to take their word then maybe ask the RTA, or just ask the cop when he pulls you over :D

Kdawgboostin33, I wouldn't bother changing the parkers. Why would you want to?

Hi Guys, though i'd post up some pics, theres hardly any difference looking at my crudy photos, but I have to say it really makes a difference when driving, i'd estimate about 30% better.

These are Philips Vison Plus ($39 from Autobarn) they were actually the cheapest ones they had. They have blue tips, but there is no blue element visible both when driving and looking at them from different angles with the naked eye.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
