just brought a 2001 300rx and the headlights arent too bright, i had to use my fog lights, and the two small lights that sit on either side of the low beams (below the blinkers to see anything) so im not too sure what lights i need but i like the look of the 6000k xenons and was wondering if these would work for the low beam https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/performance/bulbs/auction-1580182597.htm?rsqid=711e6296bdf14c18bc1f51263c994bff

and i also wanted a set of 6000k bulbs for the high beams, any recommendations?

If you care about quality (e.g. bulb alignment, consistency, beam formation, etc.) then I suggest invest in these:

Otherwise, just buy a handful of crappy bulbs off ebay/etc. and change them when they blow/rapidly colour shift.

 

As for high beam, I'm guessing they're 9005/HB3 bulbs. Get HIR1/9011 bulbs, instant upgrade. You'll have to modify them slightly, search for "9005 to 9011 conversion". I believe Philips are the only ones that make proper HIR1 (they have a coating that reflects the infrared to heat the filament more, resulting in brighter output). Toyota part number 90981-13066 is for the old school Toshiba HIR1 that goes straight into HB3 hole and plug.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
