I don't recommend it, but those cheap HID kits will get what you want.

Plug and play.

When looking for which globe to get, 4300k, 6000k, etc, go for 4300k. Any more and you're doing it for the looks. 4300k is the brightest of all and gives a white light, should be same as sun light colour.

Edit: Either that or just spend money on some quality globes from the Philips range. They're not HID so it won't produce a shitty cut off line and hot spots (which is a good thing).

Go for 5K lites in h1 size and you'll be laughing... very bright (close to hid intensity without the flare and glare of course)... if you don't want to go hid, these are the go!

Most of the ones on ebay will last you 8-12 month which is pretty good....

Those cheap ebay globes you've posted up will do nothing except give lower light output due to the extra blue paint they throw on the globes to produce the colour.

Go for something from the Philips range. May be more expensive, but will be worth it. It'll give a brighter light and last longer than those posted.

I don't want you to get those HID kits so I'm not even gonna tell you the price of them or which globe type you'll need. :P

I picked up some Raybrig halogen globes while in Japan.And can honestly say they are the best halogen globes ive ever used.Bright light and has the white blue tinge to them.

99% of the china "HID" style globes give crappy light output.

Raybrig 4400k FTW!

I am using these now, have last over 12 months and looks awesome... it's very bright white light with only a dash of blue which makes it look awesome but visibility is awesome too...

how come the one u sent the link of along with the ones i sent link off, dont need kits? and the more expensive ones do? is that cuz the HID kits are old technology?

The kit ones are the ACTUAL HID globes. Those other ones are just 'wannabe' ones. haha. HID kits are new-ish technology. It's just that they're not suited to our headlights so it's not good to use them.

When you see "kit" then it's the actual HID version, ones that say "HID" but don't have anything to say about "kit" would be just normal halogen globes which are trying to look like HID globes (colour wise).

hid's were the best mod i ever put on my car, how come none of u guys like them, they make the road so much clearer and make the car look better at night

Installing HID globes in a car's headlight which was designed for halogen globes will cause the light output to glare, hotspot and blind oncoming drivers. It's better for you, but bad for the oncoming drivers. Oh and I forgot to mention that they're illegal, but then what isn't these days.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
