R34 Hid Xenon

[raps86]

wat dan means by hitting it is the cover on the back of the headlight there is a cover togain access to the bulb and it has a tag that sticks out and nissan puts a torx bit screw in the way to stop the cover from beign undone. just undo the screw and then you can undo the cover. i think from memory the screw is a tamper proof torx bit.

I installed those 6000k's that Dan was selling and they look superb. They don't look blue at all and haven't attracted any unwanted attention at all.

I do find however that I had to lower the level of the headlights to the lowest settings (my 34 has that level adjuster knob under the steering wheel) On middle setting I was getting flashed by oncoming traffic so hmm .. but that was same day as I cleaned my headlights so might have had something to do with that and not the new globes. Either way even on lowest level setting they look great and put out good light.

factory D2R colour temp is 4300k - colour temp of sunlight, same colour temp as all OEM Xenon globes.

Hi All,

I have recently got a new set of 6000K bulbs from Dan and they look the goods! Quality light output.

Delta Force you mentioned above that you had to lower your headlight adjustment. I need to do the same in my R34, however on the lowest setting on the in car adjustment my lights are still very high and I get flashes from oncoming traffic.

I have adjusted the screws on the top of the headlight unit itself, this has made little difference. Also the right headlight is sitting higher than the left. Is there any other way besides the above that I can move my headlights to face down a little more? Has anyone else had the same problem? Is it a common problem with R34's? Not real keen on taking the front of the headlight off with a heatgun....

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers - Kyle

Kyle, yep I've got no idea about why your height adjust isn't moving much, on my car at 1.5m distance to a wall I get a full 75mm drop from the high to the low setting, so on the road you ca imagine this is a marked change in distance.

Is the adjustment motor making a good bit of noise when it works, or does it sound like it may be sticking?

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I would like to know if there is a significant difference between the brightness of light produced between the 6000K and 8000K bulbs. My stock bulbs are terrible and I think it is time to replace them before they become too dull and a safety hazard.

Would also be curious to know if anyone has installed a 6000K in one headlight and a 8000K in the other to show the difference in colour and brightness?

[SS8_Gohan]

i would go 4300k - if you plan on doing any rural/country/night driving, put in the globes with the greatest lumen output, that being 4300k - colour of sunlight.

hey i have 10000K 35watts ebay kit (see below of coloure) there really blue but no good out of town ... i went and brought a 2nd kit 100W 6000k white kit and installed it in my 34 wires still going strong running 4ballest ... 2 kits i can add pics if you like

[Addicted2BoostR34]

6000k is the best coloure i think you wont be disapointed in them

[OMG 101]

I've had a HID kit sitting here for nearly 2 years, i was quoted $400 to install them and thought f**k that and never got around to doing anything about it, but after reading this thread i'm keen to get them in, i'm on the central coast of nsw, and i'm looking for some one to come do it for me, ill buy you a case or drop some cash your way *not too much im quite poor *. any takers?

[NYTSKY]

They are EASY to install!

Take bulb out, put new one in, connect wires done.

[Spunky Munky]

6K is best in my opinion.

[RSFOURDayz]

Is it correct that the Higher you go in Kelvin the less light lumens you get? So the less actual light?

As for standard, I live in the country, no street lights at all out my way and when driving my Stagea at night I never use high beam, so standard "should" be fine for most people.

[666DAN]

I used to have 6000k and they were fine for light in Beaudesert and othe non-lit areas.
