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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
