+1. i've driven a skyline that had really blue lights as the high beams. it was terrible. while they lit up a decent distance, trying to actually make anything out was hard. low beams were actually better for seeing off into the distance than the highbeams were.

once you go above 4000k in a conventional bulb you start losing light.

my advice is to stop being a ricer and get lights that allow you to actually see where you are going

Blue lights and been able to see. I never said i dont want to see at all, But blue with god vision is what im after

Edited by show.it.off

you are the wackest.

*b-boy stance*

blue HID's are annoying as crap. if you MUST get HID get WHITE like the nice people.

blue HID is really annoying and total useless rice and a (worthY) defect notice waiting to happen.

...just putting it out there... have you tried cleaning / restoring your headlights??? because most retards in R33 don't know to do this / don't know how / cant be bothered witht he 20 minutes needed to make them like new again...

but perhaps the reason you're unhappy with your crap light output is relevent to your headlight corrosion?

Yes i have polished them back, Which made them look alot better, Will white be nice and bright on the road??

It should look like daylight with 5000k, the light produced is very white. As for HIDs into R33 headlights, the R33 headlight housing doesn't concentrate all of the light onto the road, it shines up into the tree tops. 5000k will look like this

Kelvin rating has nothing to do with heat. You have no idea what you are on about.

Sorry Mr forum Warrior Sensai

I know that Kenvin is a unit increment of temperature so dont jump out with somthing you think you know your going to confuse the thread starter

Back on toppic, Your hallogen lights are hotter than a H.I.D but the smaller bulb of the hallogen is placed to far back in the balsiter of the headlight to burn anything or even worry about its heat, just get your normal 55watts and you will be sweet, H.I.D kits are often a problem becaues the bulb is too large for the headlight and being so close to the lens because of the unit with a higher kelvin of about 8000k or so it means instant burn marks on the inside of the lens.

I really think they are not worth it man but if you really want them so bad then just get 5000k or 6000k

I would rather S3 R33 GTR lights brand new from Nissan for $1200 :)

I'm terribly sorry, you are wrong. He is right.

You are wrong, wrong, wrong I suggest you shut up and not confuse the OP.

Holy shit man you are just so wrong.

Yes, but before I bother explaining colour temperature.

Think for a second.... Do you really think those lights are burning at 8000 K? That's ~7725*C

The temperature of the surface of our Sun is ~6000*C

EDIT: Oops, Added instead of minused 273

agreed^. i was driving behind a new-ish honda something or other the other night. the road in front of us, above us, and to the sides, was lit up like a construction zone. i couldnt believe this idiot drives around like that oblivious to the fact he's blinding all the oncoming drivers. it was ridiculous.

Yes, Kelvin is a measure of temperature, it's also a measure of color temperature. In the context of a light-source like this, they're referring to the color temperature.

munkyboy that's nothing - the other day i was driving around and this guy in a lancer was driving around with HID's on and the lights were bright as so i got out my car n jumped on my penny farthing bicycle and chased him down at the set of lights i asked him to get out of his car n grabbed him by the throat n pulled out my samurai sword n held it to his throat while i forced him to look at his HIDs head on and he was all like

"no please no more sir i see the error in my ways i now get why Rowan is so awesome and i'm still an adopted virgin"

all i could say to him was HA-HAAAAA as i teased him some more for being a virgin...

he started crying so i gave him a chinese burn for being such a wuss, he cried more so i snap kicked him in the head n then i spat on his nanna cos she said blue HID lights were cool, i didn't WANT to snap kick his nanna but she was out of line man, out of line...

so i got back on my penny farthing n rode off into the sunset

by saying "rode off" i meant "made out with"

and by saying "into the sunset" i mean "40 hot blondes"

it was a cool night man you should've been there

now

can we PLEASE STOP FEEDING THE TROLLS

Yes, but before I bother explaining colour temperature.

Yes i have always used (°C) = (K) − 273.15

I thought 8000K was about 1100 degreess celsius????

Anyway, i dont think you should get HID's because like everyone says here they shine in peoples eveys and that means the placement of the bulb is totaly incorrect pissing you and everyone else off.

You will have to do a r33 GTR S3 front end conversion too have some good H.I.D's happaneing :)

was stuck at the lights with this fully sick civic driver behind me. i was so close to getting out and telling him to fix his fking lights. was ridiculous, there are reasons high beams are illegal to use around other cars. the same with super bright headlights.

slightly off topic -

nowadays when i'm

A) stopped at traffic lights for a long time behind someone

B) stuck in not moving / slow moving traffic

C) in a multi storey carpark

i turn my headlights off... and leave only my park / city lights on.. then turn the low beams on when i am supposed to

traffic lights... driver in front knows i'm there. driver doesn't need to be blinded by my headlights.

slow moving traffic ie: city, pedestrians don't need my big bright headlights to blind them and i can see from city shop / street lights

multistory carpark is a big one

particularly if i'm on my way out. if i'm "up" and "heading down" a ramp, and another car is coming in, or "heading up" the ramp...

...my headlights point DOWN... naturally... so it shines directly in their eyes if they're left on... as in the central spectrum of light points directly into their retinas in this case, it's not pleasant and i hate having it done to me!

so that's the way i drive - and i encourage other people to take note also... it's just common courtesy! you don't drive with high beams on unless you have to...

so why drive with your headlights on when they're not needed!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
