Hid Kits

[Jenkk]

Hey guys,

i know there are heaps of topics on this but i cant seem to find one where people have installed H1 kits into their r34... most have done the D2R with adapters...

are there any cons to putting h1 kit in?... just seems easier as all topics on dr2 kits ppl have cut holes etc into rear of light cap..and just seems to be so much muckin around?

any help would be awesome! any recomendations too!

Cheers

Kris

When i got my 34 the D2r connectors were chopped off and i had standerd H1 bulbs,i mounted the ballasts in the front bar and drilled a hole in the back capping and used the grommet that came with the H1 kit to seal it. Not sure if they are any better than the D2r bulbs as i havent seen any before,but going from halogen H1 to H1 HID 6000k is a major difference.

If you want some pics let me know,its not a hard job,took me about 3hrs but i pulled my headlights out,when i did the conversion in my 32 it only took about an hr.

D2R is the xenon lights that come with the car (if yours is xenon).. But i have done a H1 HID.. you still reuire to cut the back plate for the wires to feed through.. you get a grommet to block it up though..

it only took me 30min if that..

+1 for pic mate! cheers

all the connectors and ballast is still intact in my car...should i replace whole lot or just get some D2R 6000k globes?

sorry about the crappy pics, if you want a serious look ill be more than happy to show you my car and give you a hand if need be. As i said my d2r connectors were chopped off (maybe during compliance) so the ballasts are still sitting in the bottom of the lights adding weight lol.

All that needs to happen is for the + and - going to the original ballast to be chopped and either soldered or use spade terminals to connect to the new wiring harness on the new ballasts,from there its just drilling a hole in the back cover to fit the supplied grommet and your done.

I picked up my hellegkit super cheap on ebay (less then a decent set of halogens) im not sure how much d2r bulbs are.

PICS

Pretty crappy pic but it shows the grommet in the cover plate on the back of the headlight (drivers side,pod is in the way of the other one)

The Ballasts are mounted just under the headlights in the front bumper using the supplied brackets and a couple of zipties

And this is what it looks like after the globes have warmed up for about 5 minutes,they go from a blue tinge to a bright white.

Hope this gives you some insight,let me know if you want to have a closer look to how i did it and we can make a time.
