Got sick of my dated headlights so I just ordered these :P

shoulda got these ones...

I'm surprised at how many cars share the same sized unit! Like even old RX7s etc. It's good :woot:

Why's it surprise you? It's a standard ISO size that most manufacturers used for pop up headlights. RX7, MR2, Z31, 180SX, MX5, S12, Prelude(or is it integra?) all use the same.

Now I just gotta decide what globes to run. Might take the HID route (like 4300 or 6000k) or just a whiter standard globe (philips crystal vision or something).

don't put HID's into non projectors you gimp. You'll blind every kent on the road with your badly focussed beams.

shoulda got these ones...

I don't like the look of those ones. Have seen them on another car and not a fan of the round bit in the middle.

Yeah, I don't like HIDs.. but I want a clear white light. What are my other options?

get halogen bulbs colour temp rated about 6000K. 5200K is natural sunlight, 6000K is crisp white.

Yeah, 6000k would be perfect. I had 8000ks in my old MR2 and it was a bit too blue. Suited a black car but won't look good on red.

Where do I get them? Autobarn sell Crystal Vision but I don't think they're even close to 6000k...

I'm a big fan of sleepy eye conversions on pop ups, with any of these headlamps instead of standard ones:

I was going to go for REV6 headlights while the US dollar was strong but they're out of stock and I didn't want to wait another month.

Oh well, the raybrigs look pretty good anyway. They're 1/4 the price too. Just gotta source the globes.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
