Mine came stock with philips, and the raybrigs are much brighter.

you gotta check the specs.

Does anyone have any technical (non-marketing) info on these?

Rezz, running 90w globes in place of the standard ones is risky as the stock wiring isn't rated to carry that load. It'd also be inconsiderate and illegal to run them as your normal beam. 90w as high beam with upgraded wiring is a good idea though and less likely to be targeted.

Craved, high beam globes are the same as low beam globes. If uprated globes for high beam aren't enough for country driving, look at dedicated driving lights.

I suspect these Raybrig lights are similar to the current range of xenon halogen globes most lighting manufactures have out. They aren't standard replacements so you'll have to ask for them by name. eg Philips VisionPlus.

Grandenko, thanks very much for that, I overlooked the wattage rating.

But I understood (with the Raybrig globes) that 90w was when hi-beam is on? Usually the globes are 55w on lo-beam...?

[Craved]

Just wondering about cars like the R33 which have a separate globe for the high beam! is there a straight 90w option for these as they would have to be different ratings as the low beam lights turn off when they come on! therefore for our cars the low and high beam are not the same globes!

"Craved, high beam globes are the same low beam globes. If uprated globes for high beam aren't enough for country driving, look at dedicated driving lights. "

hehe, dont really think driving lights would suit the skyline

any suggestions?

[Rezz]

Craved, Raybrig say the RR15`s are for the "4 headlight" cars as well... I guess that means R33`s.

[hippy]

i'm confused

Raybrig Hyper Halogen

Head Light Globes (Street Off White)

if u just replaced ur normal globes with these it wouldn't be running in hi beam mode?? 90w??

so they only sell the one globe for 4 headlight cars? what does the plug for the lights look like? are they normal single blade fitting? or tri blade?

[Rezz]

Guys, guys...

Forgive me if I`m wrong, but aren`t there 2 elements in each globe? If your car has only one globe per headlight, on low-beam, the 50-odd watt element lights up... and on high-beam, the 90 watt whatever element lights up?

I understood that if you wanted these "HID type" halogens on a 4-headlight car, you have to decide whether you want to upgrade the low-beam or high-beam...

Am I wrong? I`ve only ever seen these Raybrigs on my brothers PAS trophy winning Toyota LiteAce (which is a 2 headlight van) and they were normal wattage on low-beam, and a higher wattage on high-beam.

[hippy]

i'm still confused about what u guys are getting at ... i just want a pair of good whitey blue lights for my normal driving lights .. can i get them off u rezz?? can u pm me please...

thanks

[Craved]

In the R33, they are 4 headlight: 2 on low beam, other 2 on high beam! low beam lights are definately only single element lights, so would assume the same with high beam as only one on at a time eg 2 outside lights on on low beam, 2 insides lights only on high beam!! therefore the globes must be of different output wattage!

ps did you get my email Rezz?

[Aurora]

Are you sure they're not the same wattage? Just angled higher?

Because i want to purchase Phillips Blue Vision H1 55W for the low-beams, they come with the parkers. Then a set for whatever the High-beams are, and also find out what bulbs i need for the lights in the front bar of the Series II, cause i always drive with them on, and they'd need to match.

Sorry, what I meant by "high beam globes are the same as low beam globes" is that both low and high beam use the same type of globes - H1. There are seperate globe holders/lamp assemblies for each and they both use H1 55w globes. The only difference, funnily enough, is that the high beam lamp is physically aimed higher than the low beam lamp. 90w bulbs for the high beam lamp would be a good idea though, along with the required wiring upgrades.

Rezz, I think you're talking about H4 globes, they have 3 pins and 2 filaments of different wattages. Some cars use a H1 for high beam and a H4 for low/high beam.

hey, are those lights on the front bar actually giving off light, or just looking nice!!! if it was to look good, try following this thread to make them look real nice and white!!

LED LIGHTS - these look good

Do you know what would need to be upgraded to run higher wattage high beams lights? also i haven't seen brighter lights in higher wattage in normal shops!

Ryan D didn't seem to have any issues, he's saying that he was running 90W in his car!

interested to see what comes of this though! also is there any lights about say 70W or so, something brighter, but not enough to blind oncoming traffic!!

You'd have to speak to an auto electrician or car audio installer about wiring upgrades. Its just higher gauge +ve cable run via a relay and a new earth. Ask them about the risks of running 90w globes in place of standard 55w globes.

I really would leave high wattage globes for high beams only.

The lights in the standard front bar of the Series II (round ones) point more down at the road. I find, living in Canberra, that with foggy mornings, they tend to help as they shine under the fog.

[Ryan D]

Yourve all confused the shit out of each other for no reason,

The R33's lights, both low and high beam are h1 type

lowbeam = 55w

high beam = 90w

the wiring is suited to this, even more wattage if wanted.

If yourve got an R33 just get two packs and replace all the lights.
