They can be defectable yes.

As long as you get a sensible colour temp and have your headlights angled properly i dont think you will have a problem.

I have HIDs in both of my cars and never had a problem.

I heard you weren't allowed a different colour light at all? What do you mean by angled properly? I really want blue lights but not if i'm going to get defected for it lol.

Hi mate,

The bluest i would go is 6000k,the jump to 8000k is very blue and will get some unwanted attention.

You should always check your beam level after installing HIDs. What was once an ok height with halogens might now be blinding other drivers.

90% of the time you will need to adjust your headlights down.

Here are actual colour temps of the BOSCH HID kits in action.

4300k

8000k

I would only recommend the 8000k if you had projector style headlights such as these. 8000k in the reflector style is just too dazzling to oncoming drivers and does attract unwanted attention.

Okay, i'd be going for the helligkeit HID kit if i were to get some lights and isn't 6000k in the helligkeits a diamond white, not a blue?

Also how long does it take to recieve these lights?

Steve both your kits sent over this morning.

and3_3 kit was also sent this morning.

GTR-8OY your kit has been ordered, should be sent out mid next week,

:cool:

Ok im a newb when it comes to lights, what's required for the helligkeit HID kit to fit a 1989 R32 GTS4? I'd want the 8000k in blue-ish like on the tiburon with the c/f bonnet. Can you PM a reply with price and the exact ones I'd need? Thanks alot! Cheers James.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
