So I've had a search n have worked out that I'll probs get new bulbes through "sharperdeal" on Ebay. I'm thinking 6000K or 8000K. Not 100% yet cause although i want the 6000K's n really like the idea of having nice bright headlights, I'm not sure if they will be too bright n in that case I'd go for the 8000K's.

So I've got 3 questions.

1. What do people recomend out of the 2? I do a mix of City, Suburban and Highway driving. If some people can post up some pics maybe. Looking at the car as well as showing how far/much they light the area up.

2. Looking on "sharperdeals" Ebay page you can select D2R/D2S and then the intensity or you can just select the intensity. Which one do I need? From the looks the bases/mounting is different.

3. Also has anyone changed their parkers(ie.small bulbs in head lights)? And what with?

FYI: They will be going in a S2 RS FOUR S.

Thanks to everyone in advance

Mattye

Hi Matteh

1. Personally I wouldn't go over 6000K otherwise looks too ricey and they attract The Filth.

2. Are you looking at upgrading your hi beams or headlights as the high beams are a Halogen D2R which you'd need an HID upgrade kit to do.

The Xenon Headlights are D2R

3. Yes. You can use anything that uses a T10 base. White LED's look the best with Xenons.

I want to go 6000K but im not sure if they'll be too bright. I dont want to be attracting unwanted attention. Plus I want everyone else on the road pissed off with me cause they can barely see.

Looking at upgrading my headlights. Maybe upgrade the Highbeam next.

3. Yes. You can use anything that uses a T10 base. White LED's look the best with Xenons.

I agree mate. That would be what I'd be doing. Is the T10 base a standard base?

Edited by mattye
Wedge base T10 is common yes. Get a multi angle white led for them. get 4 and do ur numberplate lights while your at it

Cheers Mate.

Also is that you in your signature posing with your car?

hahahah yeh mate :down: . Y?

so am i.......

:P

Hey mate,

i run 8000 in my M35, they are a little on th eblue side but not to bad. They seem to really highlight and reflect objects in th edistance very well...

I also run LED's in the parkers that are made up from 18 multidirectional white LED's, they look sweet and match the HID colour well.

Just my 2c worth, I got all my globes through E-Bay, 60 for the HID' and 18 for the LED's.

Cheers

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
