Xenon Lights

[WESTWD]

hey all,

i recently bought my R34 GT25...has factory xenon headlights, but the xenon bulbs were changed during compliance, the xenon headlights are still there, just the bulb appears to be changed, got a couple of questions.

1) is there anyway to get hold of stock r34 xenon bulbs?

2) if not, how much are bulbs which have the same colour light as the stock xenons?

Cheers

[WESTWD]

in regards to the ballast question, im not to sure what you mean? could you please go into detail? sorry for being a pain

Cheers

i think he means they put the h1 bulbs in.. during the compliance.. and wants the d2r ones back in.. or get a hid kit

[WESTWD]

thats what i mean. thanks for that

would d2r bulbs be easy to obtain? or should i just buy a HID kit?

[.:: GimpS-R34 ::.]

hid kit is easier to install.. as they installed a "spacer ring" in your light to hod the h1 bulb.. and hid kit works well (NYTSKY) can prob still supply you a kit.. but some think you get more glare from the HID as it was designed for the xenon.. myself am more than happy with the HID kit

another one for a HID kit from NYTSKY, got an 8000k H1 Bosch HID kit through him for my 34, works a treat and easy to install

how does 8000k look...thats what i would want but ive heard they are too blue and attract a lot of unwanted attention??

got any pics by any chance of how they look @ night on your 34?

if i get the chance ill take some for you tonight, the bosch 8000k kit i got from NYTSKY isnt too blue at all, and gives a nice spread of light, and i can't say that i have ever been high beamed or anything for them being too bright either

stock xenon bulbs are 4300k ... I put 6000k on mine as they have a slight blue tinge. 8000k is noticably bluish it's just that people get used to them and think they're not

HID = defect

not true, it varies with the manufacturer, i have seen some 8000k kits that are ridiculously blue, as for mine, i have asked people who have been driving in front of me, and i have looked from a distance myself, and they only have a tinge of blue.

Here you go, a pic as promised, the camera doesnt really do a good job of capturing what it looks like, the pic shows heaps of glare, and the color seems a little bluer in the photo also

+1, wanted to change mine to HID too but don't want the trouble of getting defected.

Yea, my mate has a full stock R34 with factory HID, on P's. He got pulled over by a cop one day and got questioned about his HID, he's like they are stock and came from factory. But the cop said to him, it doesn't matter, they aren't even meant to be on there, as they aren't self-adjusting.

So at the end, he got dicked for it lol.

Not sure what you mean by self adjusting, but they can be dipped with the factory in car dial thingy near the coin slot, that said, i am aware that they are still illegal...

With the current volume of new cars with HID standard, it's not really being targeted anymore. Too hard basket.

Also HIDs are never 100% the correct colour when you first put them in, they change over about 300-500hours to get to the final temp colour they were advertised as.
