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.

However, on the top of headligh witten H1, so I sould but H1 or D2R??

My stagea all is factory.

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

  • 1 month later...

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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
