R34 Gtr - Xenon Hid Install

[TOPG34R]

Heya Guys,

Thought I'd post a DIY walk-through for a D2R HID installation I just performed on my BNR34.

In the process of purchasing a HID Kit for my 34 it was fairly frustrating as there was nothing conclusive to

say what is the correct bulb to fit the factory Xenon assembly, nor could I find a DIY specific to a 34; so here

it is!

After taking the plunge I can now confidently say the D2R bulbs fits PERFECTLY in the bulb cradle. This kit is

ALMOST plug n play with little to no technical experience but decided to provide the guide for those who aren't

confident and want to give it a go.

KIT: Bosch D2R HID KIT with globe adapters (6000k diamond white)

INSTALL TIME: Approx 1 hour (30min per side)

Thanks for posting this Ben. I can now reference everyone to this thread if they ask me for R34 HID installation

[TOPG34R]

No problem!

I've now tested and height adjusted and very happy with outcome. Was fearful 6000k may not provide enought 'bright' light but the ballast n globe do a superior job.

Will post an on-road pic when I get a chance.

nice write up.I saw H1 HID kits on the internet using the H1 bulbs connected to the ballast. Not sure how good it is.Been contemplating to do this but most kits i found out there has the xenon chamber bulbs which is bigger and that means i have to cut the caps like you did. still weighing out options if i wanna cut it! arghhhhhh!

[TOPG34R]

Cheers Rych.

To answer your dilemma, just do it!

I read multiple times the reflector assembly is suited to D2R so knowing I couldn't sleep at night if I took the easier/shorter path I took the D2R path.

Worse case u can easily source new caps if u need too.

Good luck

Awesome guidlines for installing R34 HID, I am about to do the same job, just one Q, would D2C do the same trick as shown here?

[jrm]

My only gripe is that you've compromised the water-tight housing by cutting big holes in them. The factory xenons can fit in there without cutting a big hole in the back - I'm sure you could have found a neater way of running the wiring in from the balast than that

thanks for that mate

can you just mount it on the chassis

bump good work

Thanks for tutorial

[sonnyQ]

Thanks for the guide. Instead of creating a new thread - has anyone attempted to reconnect/setup the factory ballast and light?

[B-rice]

why is it that the back had to be cut with the factory way it was made does anyone know what it looks like

[Charles89]

Do you mean the hole drilled in the back of the cap? It's because factory has all the looms and wirings inside the headlight.

[B-rice]

so i have figured, after chaging my headlight bulb. does it mean i can just plug in the HID bulbs and it'll work. looks like the factory adapter left by compliance.
