H.i.d Whos Got Em? Anyone Got Anything More Than 8000k?


Recommended Posts

so i want some hid's for the GEETEEARRRRRRR

anyways ive seen 6000k in real life and it was mint as

but someone told me theyve seen 10000k and nothing beats it!

anyone for pictars?

i got 6000k and they are much brighter than 10000k

the lower you go the more the light will become like natural light

when you go higher like 8000k 10000k you get more of the blue in the light

ill show u mine tonite if you wana see them :P

Ive got 8000k(blue tinge in it) in my R33 and my mate has 6000k(white natural light) in his R32. His are a bit brighter than mine, but the light in mine is a more intense beam. Besides, i think by law you are only allowed up to 6000k, not a 100% sure though. Ive actually seen 14000k on a XR6, it is a really deep purple.

i've got 4300k, pure white light. 6000k is white with a slightly blue tinge. My friend has 10k in his accord euro, it's almost purple. Rice factor is high but visibility-wise, they're useless.

Putting HID's into a car that came out of the factory without HID's is illegal. Doesn't matter what temperature the globes are. They're illegal. Even those who have retrofits. Without cleaners and some balancing thing I don't know and engineering, it's illegal.

Don't go for anything above 6000k in my opinion. 6000k is blue/rice enough for me. If I bought another kit, it would definitely be 4300k.

Here are some photos to compare from standard lights to 6000k HID kit lights.

Look at those hot spots, glare and shocking cut offline. :thumbsup:

Edit:

Here are some pictures to show you how good some retrofitting lights can be.

I had 10000k and they were sweet as, could see heaps, now ive got 8000k in the p/s after one blew, and i dont think theyre as good, theyre just blueish, and i can see further on my d/s which still has the 10000k in it.

the 10000k are slightly purple which goes with my m.n.p which is sick, you have m.n.p as well so go 10000k too!l!

You know u want too!

is it really illegal to have HIDs? coz same as many other people, i thought your allowed up to 6000k.

can anyone confirm this? :down:

It's illegal, but what modification to your car isn't these days...

Page 2, there's something about HID lights. Pretty sure there was something else, but that's what I found first so...

Apparently even the factory ones are illegal in R33's, they're supposed to be self-levelling and one other requirement that I can't recall :D

That looks simply fantastic!!!

Does anyone know if this is possible/available for an R33?

^^^ It's all custom made. Pretty much like what Ronin did on his 32 in the tutorial.

It'll be pretty expensive to make it look like the ones above though.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
