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!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
