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.

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
