Hey all! Wondering if anyone knows where I can get halogen globes for my R33. It's the 4door GTST Type M model.

I've got the main globes (H4s), but I need the ones that light up the road when you indicate, and the ones that sit in the spoiler next to the indicators.

I've bee told they do make them, but don't know where to look.

Cheers. :Bang:

in the 4 door r33's when you turn a corner an extra aux light lights up the are you are turning into so that you can see ahead so to speak

very speccy

but strich he also wants the fog light globes too

umm PULP i would ring paul atr autoworx in wangara.. he will know what globes you need as he has done a few 4 doors in his time.. likewise a few 4 door owners will chirp in shortly

on the plastic of the headlight itself.. the black back area it should list what bulbs are required for each socket?

Thanks RiaZ,

Yeah I was trying to reply to Strich lastnight but there was something wrong with the website.

Yeah aint a bad little feature, just trying to match up all my globes as it looks unfinished with just one set changed.

I'll give Paul a call anyway, thanks for that!

:) Yeah mate they do, well mine does anyway. Unless it's only a series 2 thing I wouldn't know. Never taken notice if it is the same with older models.

I called Paul from Autoworx, and he wasn't 100% sure if they made white halogen to replace the globe, said to try Repco.

oh great

did he tell you what kind of globe at least like an h1 or what

cos i mean finding matching colour etc isnt too difficult.

the narva blue ones or something are actually just white with no blue whatsoever

dunno why they fricken call it that its off putting

i think its the same for the hella ones as well

Umm Kym, not really stand corrected.. i am pretty sure its a series II headlight feature on the 4 dorrs only thats why its that silver background and doesnt just take 2 h1 globes

so yeah when you go into a corner when indicating this AUX bulb lights the turn before you enter to allow for spotting hazards

now i'm sorry but these japs are just crazy

i think they figure the coupe owners will be going too quick to care about a light and they hit things all the time anyways so why bother with the expensive headlight

bwahahahaha

Yeah i have SII R33 and the courtesy lights are cool. but i had a SII coupe Indicator assembly put on mine before i got it and i dont have the indicator stalk swith for the fog lamps :rant:. Need to get it wired up. BTW that info on the globes would be interesting as i was thinking about the same upgrade, please post info if/when you get it :rant:

cheers

The SII R33 Sedan take the H4 globes out the front. They have two elements in them, one for normal lights the other for high beam. I think on 2doors you have a H1 for normal light and H3 for high beam. (Maybe the other way round!)

But the courtesy lights have a double conductor and the pins are offset from each other. I've seen them in a red colour, but I think that would attract some attention! I've got a guy in Northbridge checking for me, place called Cartronics, I'll keep you all posted pn what I find.

Catchas!

Hi again all!!

I found those globes for the indicator courtesy lights!

I tried everywhere in Perth, finally a place in East Perth called Carquest, Shop 9, 5 Short Street, guy there called Raymond. I've installed them and they now match my Super White H4 halogen lights.

I also got clear indicator covers from one of our sponsors, Import Scene.

Gregg from Import Scene helped me out heaps! They have these gear shifters as well, look fantastic in the car, go check it out!

Well Mirkz this guy in East Perth had alot of stuff like that.

The globes I got have a dark blue glass, when lit up they are super white with a tinge of blue. Don't really light up the road a blue colour.

My main head lights do though, well you can see a bit of blue on the road. like the new cars have. Go in and see him anyway mate.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
