Hi guys,

Im sure this has been covered somewhere but i couldnt locate a thread.

Just wondering if aftermarket xenon HID kits damage the headlight or the lens on R33's? I have a series 1 GTR and was considering replacing the standard headlights with HID's but am unsure if it will destroy my headlights over time or discolour the lenses due to a difference in heat temps. I dont nkow too much about them so any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance.

I have used HIDs in all my cars over the past few years and never had any discolouration problems at all.

Heat is what causes discolouration and you are more likely to get it from high wattage halogens IE: 50w onwards.

Do the HID's get hot and do most come with that UV filter?

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

      I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
