R34 Xennon Bulb

[53XYN]

Hey guys wondering if anyone here has changed their factory xennon bulb and ballest successfully to a higher temperature spec (6500K etc)

Im looking to change mine but unsure of what xennon bulb it is weather H9 , 9009

I do know by changing the xennon bulbs to a higher temp varient gives better light and performace from the stock ballest

Has anyone done something like this??

Thanks

Give you a Idea These one are available on the market ..

So you want to make the R34 xenons brighter... why would you want to do that? They are bright enough already and I reckon any brighter and they'll be c**p - not to mention risking you lenses melting down on you

Vish, i bought those 6500K bulbs off you a while back, and i put them in my car. Ive had no problems at all. an they look great.

They were replacement halogens I assume? Vish, if you have factory xenons I wouldn't touch them. Go any brighter and it'll be like high beaming ppl everywhere you go.

ah yeah i remeber you bought that HID Xennon kit off me , wasnt your car converted ti H1 ?my xennon says H9 on it so im aussuming its a H9 bulb ..

Reason im replacing it is the factory ones are getting dimmer one side .. time to get them out and in with new ones...

John i still have those H1 halogen bulbs MTEC brand 4700K ones if uw anna grab them off me sometime this week

I've just got the stock ones still in mine and people still flash me as they think i got high beam on. Good to see whilst driving but yeah any brighter and a waste and asking for trouble.

Well not really instead of yellowish xennon id prefer white , and plus makes car look newer too .. ive seen a 33 with 12,000K on it S2 they have plastic lenses as well dont know what temp these things will melt

Are u 100% sure u've got xenons? When u turn them on, does it take a few secs to fully illuminate to full brightness? If they are yellow sounds like u've got halogens!

Always remember; just because your headlight casing says "Xenon" does not mean you have xenons

yep sure do have xennons , takes a few seconds from yellow get a lill whiter it is whiteish nothing compared to the 6000K ones , im thinkin the stock ones are maybe 4700k? ...

Anyone here removed the bulb and the ballast from their car b4?

Something doesn't sound right... you have described the xenon warm up process correctly but it should not be "yellow" to start off with - mine are white from the beginning.

Maybe you need to give the lens a good polish to remove any residue that's formed up over the years = that may be the cause of this "yellowness".

Removing globes and balasts is easy - not really reccommended though as the less dust you expose the globes to the better life they will have.

Good Luck!

Ok i have checked the lenses out polished them again with meguires plastic X came up clear n like new .. still starts off with yellow then goes white.. i think maybe my bulbs are on the way out as one side is completely dim..

So no one knows what xennon globes they use? Nissan isnt any help at all as they dont know

[satanic]

From memory someone said something about the Nissan globes costing close to $400 a pop when they last checked (must be over a year ago now)

There was someone (I remember clearly) who said that Hella make a substitute bulb which is like $40USD. Do a search for R34 Xenon Bulb I guess.

Still strange how it starts off yellow - first time I've ever heard of that.
