Yeah, they are alligned ok, just on low-beam they are piss weak, I cant get them up any higher through adjustment either

High-beams are good, low beams are shithouse

Anyone have any suggestions to make my headlights brighter? ie what globes to use?

If you're using H3Cs get rid of them and get some decent H3s. I couldn't find any decent replacement H3Cs so I put some Philips H3s in and it made a big difference. There still not great lights but there much better then they were.

I think the H3s were also cheaper. From memory Autobahn wanted $25 each ($50 a pair) for crappy H3C replacements and a pair of philips H3s were $40.

I just got my car from Japan and it has genuine Raybrig globes and they are AWESOME!! I've never seen anything like them. I have them in my parkers and low beams, I ordered some on ebay for my high beams so they all match and the bastard sent my "Raybrigms" that are designed in "JAIPAN"

I belive the genuine Raybrigs are from Japan. Definately worth the few $$$..

Yeah, I have heard of the getting quite hot.

HID kits would be quite hot I'd imagine!

Xenons are much cooler than hals , xenons are 35 watt hals are 55w .

Your problem is voltage drop, fix that and you will see the light !!!!

arent HIDs technically illegal for street use??

not complaining    just want to know  if i get them  should i fail to mention it to the boys in blue?

Thanks

It's illegal, but these days most of the BMW/Merc have blue/white HID's from factory so it's slowly becomming normal...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
