Xenon Hid Lights Conversion For R32

[SS8_Gohan]

well i know the new style bi-xenon's are actually all in 1 projector. Basically, when the normal lights are on, the hi-beam is actually on as well, but shielded. But if you need to flick to hi-beam, it's ready to roll as the hi-beam is already on... it's just the shield that moves.

So basically hi-beam and lo-beam is on at the SAME time, it's just the hi-beam is always shielded when not needed.

From the look of your pics, you have 2 projects, 1 hi-beam, 1 lo-beam?

unfortunately i'm not handy enough to be retro-fitting Xenon projectors to my R34 headlights, although i wish i was. I'd prob have to source another set of R34 lights if i did even want to attempt it, as i'd imagine it would take me a while Would love to to do it though.... does change the front look of the car quite a bit though.

Does honda have a bi-xenon option? or would i have to get some new BMW/Merc/Audi bi-xenon projector?

That is correct, there is a solenoid which operates and moves the shield out of the way giving the full xenon lamp unshielded for full beam!

No, I have 4 x Bi-Xenon projectors, as in all 4 on for lo and hi beam!

I chose the Audi units because they are Bi-Xenon and because they are made by Hella and therefore fit most headlight units, the BMW ones don't fit in the R33 headlight units (Bi-Xenons that is). As for the Honda units, I don't know to be honest, it wasn't an option available to me at the time.

that is INSANE!!!!!!!! 4 bi-xenon projectors!!! you MUST put up some night time pics when you get the chance....

you must blind everything within 50km's of your car in a 180 degree arc

I'll take some pics early Feb when I get home.

They are bright but still road legal on lo beam, on high beam... they are just AWESOME!

Very rarely get other road users complain about the brightness - only time I get flashed is when going up hills etc when the shield cutoff falls or rises into oncoming drivers, oops.

Mine is a hand built 'Top Secret' tuning Japan/HKS 2.8 engine with HKS T04Z and OS Giken 6 speed sequential, all the work (engine fitting, fuelling and tuning) was carried out in the UK by Abbey Motorsport - just shy of 600BHP ATW at the moment.

Thanks, I made the lights because the standard halogen units are vey very poor at night!

have you guys who put xenon projectors into non-projector headlights (eg. R33) used a trim bezel or make a fibreglass surround?

got some close up pics of them with the lights off?

i take it all you boys from the UK found this thread from here?

Yeah mate followed the link^^^

Never bothered with any bezels, I just gutted the halogen lights and rebuilt them with the Bi-Xenons.

I played around with bezels at the time but they looked much better without them so I left them off.

Not that it would be a massive job to fit bezels though.

I'll post some close up pics when I return to the UK....

[Ronin 09]

well here's how they look on the car.

i reckon they look like S2000 headlights a bit now.

I'm a bit worried that when they were assembled the cut off shield was put in upside down (ie. across the top of the projector instead of at the bottom of the projector), so the light once cut off and reversed by the convex lens allows light at the top and not bottom... (if that makes sense).

Will test them out and see if they've been done right soon...

[Beer Baron]

now make me a set please. looks good mate.

[wegs]

Looks great, i have a HID kit and thought the job was just to mount the globes in the R32 stock projector. What are the problems with doing that? Is the cutoff line a problem, or just not a good end result?

[MANWHORE]

wegs, seriously do a search man. I've done like a hundred threads on it. It'll be gay. that's it.

ronin, i'm not sure what you mean by havin gthe cut off shield across the top. If it is how I think it'll be, your light will be up, and the cutoff will be down the bottom, so it'll be reversed. THAT IS, if it is mounted how I think it is.

Cheers

[Ronin 09]

MANWHORE,

remember that the lens flips the image upside down; like your eyes (your brain then reverses the signal from your retina so that it looks right-way-up).

So, if the cut-off shield is at the top of the assembly, the light is released at the bottom, then switched upside down by the lens and light will come out the top only.

Similarly, if the cut-off shiled is at the bottom, the light is released at the top, switched by the lens, and only light is released at the bottom (correctly.

I think we've put it together the right way

is there a clear plastic clear cover for r32 head light ?

[HKS99]

damn those blue, angel eye's loook nice.

[SS8_Gohan]

...anyways, what's the go marcus??? How are we looking? Are the LED parkers in yet?

cheers,

can someone tell me please.

Thanks

[TramanBaba]

out of topic i know but does anyone know what size xenon go on a r33 series 2? ive got H7 but i am not sure if its the right size. Could someone please help out on this? Cheers.

[Ronin 09]

Dan, They're on, they fire up and look good.

just need to take some pics now of them and the cut off
