Xenon Lights

[The Doc]

Hey guys , I have a stock r34 however the previous owner in japan seemed to installed a HID kit in the car. Yesterday my light had blown and so when i went to replace i discovered it was a weird looking bulb.( See below)

Can someone please tell me if the globe i have is a regular xenon globe or is called something else, and where possibly i could get them? Im located in Melbourne

Also if i do find a pair and they are 55w does it matter if put them in, even though the one i took out was a 35W bulb?

Many thanks in advance

Ebay Gives answers

HID D2R 35W Bulbs

That is basically all the info you would need to go get the bulbs from a local shop (autobarn might be able to help)

Take one in with you if your worried. Most HID bulbs for cars are 35w I think anyway

EDIT: These look like the exact ones Phillips globes

55w is going to be a lot hotter and brighter than your 35w, so there's chances that you might melt something in your headlight if you go too hot

But generally speaking, from normal driving, you wouldn't need anything more than 35w, it will be bright enough for the roads.

they look like the factory ones. if they are i got a replacement set from a guy on the forums, but i think he sells them through an ebay business now.

worked out a lot cheaper then replacement ones through an auto parts store.

Whoa thanks for the replies guys , so i did more research and i found that no auto stores stock them , i need em asap so yes ebay it will have to be

I looked on ebay and there are some that have D2R and D2S and from what iv read is that D2R have a reflector shielding to reduce glare and the D2R dont, yet they say they will both fit in the car.

If i settle for the D2S i should be alright i rekon.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

UPDATE!

just bought some globes of a local dude 30 bucks for the pair. Score! they were D2C's the base had cuts in them to fit both D2R and D2S.

I only replaced the right one cus it had blow and to also see what the new ones were like, they are only a tad brighter than the left hand side one probs because the left one is old and is dying out.

Thanks for all the reply's and the great info people !!

what you had in yr pic is what i found in my glovebox. what i have in my headlights is H1 globes 55w with a adaptor disc. Is what you have the original jap bulb that is supposed to be replaced when the car is complianced for australia?

Also, does the back of your globe when inserted into its holder have a fold down wire clip to clamp down?

[The Doc]

Hey , nah mine were HID lights, they didn't take them out and replace them with regular H1's on compliance. Yes they do clamp down by a wire and get plugged into the igniter.
