As above D2R, if you go to Autobarn for replacements - take a toilet with you. I almost crapped myself when he said $350

EACH!!!

Needless to say i bought Philips Patent licensed ones that are 6000k off Ebay for $80 delivered.

Very clean white light with a tinge of blue.

No you don't need to take off the bumper. It's all done at the back of the Headlight. I was even able to do the drivers side without removing the battery.

You rotate the white/cream coloured cap with the little tab hanging off it clockwise to remove the cap.

Then you will see the metal cover that needs to be unclipped from its mounts.

From there you can rotate the main plug to remove it from the globe

Then you can undo the clip that holds the globe inplace and remove the globe itself.

I am pretty sure that procedure is correct as i did it about 3months ago.

Make sure you don't get your fingers on the new globe when installing.

Edit : These are what i bought

He will then msg you back to specify which exact bulb and you say Dee Too Arrr :D

I found the c34 headlights better than most new cars. What makes HIDs so much better?

HID lamps are a whiter light. they also use less power for the amount of light they produce. the lamps in the Stagea, are 35w the H1's they put in for complience are at least 60w lamps.

Awesome ! Glad to help.

I just remembered another thing - you will notice that the globe base has little cut outs in it or "locators". Make sure these are lined up so the bulb goes back in nice and flat.

Play around trial fitting the old ones first so you get comfortable with the procedure. I don't like forcing new parts :D

H1 is the parker bulb ( look at link it's tiny )

I didn't even need to look when doing the battery side, did it by feel while squishing my hand in there :D

Anyways, worst comes to worst - remove battery :D

same as R34, there is a small odd headed screw holding them in, i never put these back as they do almost nothing and the base clips itself in.

phillips is the way to go. 6000k give a better whiter light in my oppinion.

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
