Ridiculous price

[R31Nismoid]

I went to get

H3c globes form a place in Melb that is one of the only to have these as Oz shops (auto1 etc.. ) don't have these yellow sort of globes.

I need 1 as one of mine blew... and since then the model has changed so i need 2 of them.

now the price for each of these was... $120 each.

$240 ALL up... for two yellow style globes.

There has tobe a place i can get them cheaper?

i'd pay upto 50-60 bucks

I have an r32, and my normal lights use h1.

U can get the normal 1s for $10 not even, or u can use HIDs for 50 or so, a pair.

[R31Nismoid]

Not R32...

i got an R31 with the projector head lights.

The globes were PIAA H3c

Auto one... repco... bursons... don't have the yellow ones in that model.

Probably becuase they are illegal... but i want them anyway cause the light they gave off was better than Oz Spec white globes...

The plain white one for mine were about $10.

[walkoau]

id be sticking with the white ones for now...........

[R31Nismoid]

why's that?

[darkhalf]

H3C - yeah i looked everywhere in adelaide for these and asked on the r31 forums. i wanted some blue tint ones

only could either get the navara standard globes or there are apparently multicoloured 'autotechnica' globes which apparently are shite (dont last long)

[R31Nismoid]

mmm...

nah these ones gave off a yellow green colour.

That's why i want them again!

anyone know someone who isn't gonna stitch me on the price ?

[2fardown]

Stop complaining and just use the ordinary ones.

[R31Nismoid]

:upurs:

good to see people so helpful

[ed]

why give the cops another thing to defect you on? :confused:

I was wondering when this would come up.

H3c is the same as H3, except it has two prongs at the back for power, instead of one wire that a H3 globe has.

From the baseplate forward (Towards the bulb) They are the same, even to the point that a H3 globe will fit perfectly where a H3c sits.

All you need to do is solder a earth wire onto the baseplate, then plug it back into the stock connector.

I have fitted H3 PIAA Plasma blues into a R32 projector lens that is meant to have H3c globes. Was a 10min job.

EDIT: I know what I am talking about, yet it did not sound right when typed! Lol.

[darkhalf]

hmmmmm fits does it?

the H3 globes are high wattage for my high beams. so i guess this size also comes in the lower wattage for low beams then?

H3 PIAA Plasma blues

how much and where?

[Guest Dragon]

Bummer, can't find the pic of specs for H3 and H3c.

Here is a link on H3c to H3 conversion

Hope that helps.

As for prices, I have a pair for Aus $120 (Cost me just over Aus $140) Direct from Japan.

I have many more PIAA bulbs, if you want.

[R31Nismoid]

Dragon...

Thanks dude!

MOST helpful.

I will probably do that... but i've got a guy who knows someone in Japan and he's trying to get some H3c globes.

If he can't get them then i'll probably just change it to H3's then.

And i'll take them if i do.

I'll let ya know

[Guest Dragon]

No problem. :}

Here is a link to a site that has 85w clear H3c's for only US$7.96 (Should work out to be Aus$14.00 each)

Or Here for yellow H3c bulbs for US$10.96 (About Aus$20 each)

Hope that helps.

[R31Nismoid]

Are they they 'plasma' type things that i saw in the Jap shop/had in my car ya reckon ? ?

And the clear ones you can get at auto shops here for.. i think it was $10.30 ?

something like that.

[darkhalf]

sweet - the article says about $22 for the opti blue H3s which sounds about right
