man! They are bloody bright! trust me, u won't be needing the highbeam much! but R32 are h4's? are u 100% sure? Cause i've got some vague suspicion they arn't. Anyway, If u want bright, 6000k is 2800lm (roughly) 4700/5000 are 3200lm. If i remember 8000k is less than 2800lm. A standard output of a halogen is 1000lm if i remember correctly. A good example would be lookin at the bmw, merc and stuff. Check the links i posted, they have comparison charts.

Cheers!

Checked mine out - I am H4 (bugger!) & would be after 8000K (I guess) but the question I have is are they really bright on low beam as well?

HID's are the low beam, high beam stays as halogen :P

Cool! Set me up for 1 for sure! When do u estimate we'll order it?

Oh yeah, regarding the h4, as bankids said, it's a motor that retracts and extends for high beam and low beam. They are usually called bixenons... that's why h4's usually cost a little bit more. Wherelse for h1,h3 etc, they are single fillaments and they rely on another bulb for the highbeam, like the r33s

that's the thing confused me alot, coz in everywhere ppl said hid have lower power consumption. normally halogen is 55w but hid is 35w.

but while i installed the hid into my audi a4 burnt my fuse which was 10a, later i put a 15a into the fuse box and everything seems alright now..

my stock headlights were pretty good, but the HID's are excellent. :wub:

so much longer range, and ive got 8000k i think (it was diamond white whatever temperature i bought), looks like daylight! :)

Yo! Diamond White is usually 6000k. When it's quite blueish it's 8000k, then 10000k dark blueish and 12000k is purplish. Daytime white is 4700k to 5300k that's what normal OEM hids come with. But they are the otimal. usually rated at 3200lm. 6000k is 2800lms. But, 2800lm is way more than the standard of about 1000lm. :) hahaha. HID's for a price of $200 is bloody well worth it man.

what is the best possible headlight xenon conversion on the market? i want something very clear , and you can get blue lense also?

h7 or something?

please tell me, i need it for S15

Best possible? You'd be lookin at Hella Ballasts, and philips/osram bulb/globes. Will set u back by a cool 1k. But no one will be able to tell the difference untill u actually show them it's philips and hellas, cause the standard these days are so universal and common that you're looking only at reliability.

Heck, you can buy 5 sets of these for the same price! Nothing gets clearer than HIDs. The bluish tint is not the lense, if u're lookin at lenses, and they tell u it's hid, you're prolly gonna get ripped off cause they are halogen "xenon" convertion where they use relays to pump the wattage to 110W and u get brighter lights. Then they use a cover to cover the bulb to give it the bluish/whitish look. The real xenons are what is being sold on the forum. With a slight bluish tinge, but mostly white, it's 6000k. More bluish is 8000k but a little bit darker, there's a trade off, then it becomes bluish purple 10000k, then purple 12000k.

S15 uses projectors, so look for the projector headblubs, but these days there are universal ones. Rated as D2C. I know there are sellers whom sell the wrong kinda bulb so as to clear their stock. EG: my friend bought projector bulbs for his MR-S. Thou using Philips and Hellas, his car is relatively low, but when i was driving my rav4 back home, i still feel the glare when in front of him. Which got him fined in the end, he had to buy another set of globes for SGD$250 just to be right. LoL. Oh wells.

Come on dude, join this group buy. I'm pretty anxious to get a set here for my r33 so, need to meet the 10 pple quota =E . They are one of the best investment u can make for ur car, esp when driving in dark places, you can see, literally, EVERYTHING.

    • 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.
