Hey guys,

I was lucky enough to score a set of unmolested R34 xenon's and was interested to get a few answers from people. My R34 had it's xenon's removed and replaced during compliance with the proper halogen headlight bodies & bulbs.

The xenon lights I got have the stock 4500k bulbs and upon fitting them up, I wasn't that impressed with the brightness of them (after seeing people raving about them so often on the forums here). I polished them up, but they're still almost on par (or just slightly better) than my old halogen lights. Maybe it's the people who have xenon headlight bodies which have the xenon bulbs converted to halogen, who notice the biggest difference when swapping back to proper xenon bulbs?

Anyway, I was also curious to know - if anyone out there has been defected for having r34 xenons, what temperature bulbs were you running? Did you have higher K bulbs giving off a more bluish light that may have attracted the cops? It's just after looking at my lights, I can't imagine the police caring about it / let along getting a defect for them because there are plenty of other cars out there on the road running brighter xenon's than these.

The improvement for me was marginal and the only difference really, is my lights are now white :D

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
