hey guys

recently changed my headlights from standard projectors to N1 headlights (yay!)

now the N1 headlights use a single H4 style globe for low and hi beam

they have standard globes in at the moment and looks pretty avaerage ie. yellowish and not that bright

i want to get some H4 HID kits for them, obviously have to be lo and hi beam, what do people reccomend in terms of Wattage and lumens ??

i definetly dont want that super bright blue light, im after nice white light that doesnt blind people or attract police

thanks

I'll double check but I'm fairly certain I'm running 6000 and they're White not Blue

The fog lights look good in yellowish.

But If you really wanted to you could swap the globes out of the foglights too and put 120% brighter globes in (white).

I'll be giving that a shot to see the results :)

Do not get HID lights then. They will cause hot spots, bad glare and a poorly distributed beam.

I suggest looking at something like Narva Actic Plus 50. Put then in a N16 Pulsar (H1), they were noticeably brighter and whiter. I would say it produces advertised 3,900K.

I also suggest to put some relays so you don't fry out the headlight switch. Running thicker wires + relays also enables you to run higher wattage bulbs.

Make sure you align the headlights properly.

Navara Arctic +50. Worth a try to see if you like them, I have meant to.

I like the H4 Hids in the N1's but thats me.

They were not real good in the projector headlights but I have found in the N1's it turns night into day. and I like that !!

Agree to adjust headlights properly as the HID's can blind on comming traffic and those your following, if not dipped down a little further.

Some people just dont like HID's...

interesting replies

i currently have H4 Narva plus 50 (not the arctic ones) and the light is yellow....

richard do you or can you provide a pic with the HID's on at night if possible, have you noticed poor light at night or other issues?? how do the HID's go for lo/hi beam? are they the 35W or 55W ones?

thanks for the replies

Michael, I had the Navara Artic in the N1 lights and they were yellow, with a tiny tiny white Tinge, I can show you on my Civic (which now has those globes) if you want.

Look for a H4 hi/low beam kit, then you wire the 3rd plug for the highbeam into the same spot on the wiring harness.

Have a look on my FB at my old car and you can see what 6000k in non projectors looks like!

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
