not sure if this is the right section, but basically i want to get some nice globes for my headlights.

i want to get a sort of blue colour for headlights and parkers. i am not after the little blue neons ppl put in there parkers, but i think they are the ones that have a higher wattage.

i am really in the dark about the different types of colours available. but all i know is that i am chasing my headlights to emit a cool blue colour. if any one has any pixs and suggestions it would be much appreiciated.

also its for a S2 skyline

cheers

personally i think that you should stick to the standard one from nissan,i went an bought a 100w globes for my high beam an they turned out to be

sh't, no were near as bright as the standard one an twice the cost

i'v been told that any globs that are coloured are not going to be very bright but they look good

:D you insane 100w globes? I hope you mean 55w because 100w can melt your headlight casing! suppose it would depend on the type of headlight setup but most HID to Halogen take 55w!

Neways moving along

Polarg are best ..

Phillips Diamond vision if you wanna pay more but they come with parkers too ;)

I too bought new lights from repco etc .. $60 or something .. Total crap one blew within a month second in 3 months .. when i replaced the one that blew with the old one which i removed to install the repco crap they look exactly the same :D

I went and bought new HID headlights after that .. extreme yes .. but eh

Don't go with the higher wattage globes. You'll risk melting the headlight housing.

If you want the blue parker and globes, have a look on ebay. They've got all different types of colours.

In my opinion, just stay with the standard colour. Just get some decent quality Phillip's globes.

you better stick with genuine standard yellow light unless buy HID kit...

i bought globes and parkers from ebay. the parkers are great. but the light isnt bright enough.. its very hard to see at night without other lights such as street light or something... its like nothings infront of you you cant see your lights...

and they dead after 1month.. just go HID kit if you really want bright and blue colour..

Hey mate i have Phillips diamond vision in my s2 and they work fine. if you want a globe with a blue tinge, dont go any other the other lower priced ones in the phillips range as they dont seem to look that different from stock. The diamond vision arn't that expensive from memory - you dont get parkers with them either - at least i didn't. I payed under 100 but was a while ago and i cant remember exactly.

As for the parkers what you want is just white spade bit led's. the white led will come up slightly blue and works well with the diamond vision headlamp which will give you the bright white / blue glow. Do not get blue led's or blue style bulbs for parkers as they will actually look dark blue and very cr#p My only thing now is to change the fog / driving lights to a whiter bulb as the headlamps are are bright blue white which makes the fogs look real yellow.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Lithium · Posted

      Whoa, that's a name I've not see for a long time! Sorry to hear about the engine / turbo damage.  Fwiw with any engine problems it often really a case of just seeing what happens when it's apart, ymmv - I wouldn't rule out the possibility that the damage isn't even from the turbo failure, or possibly from a combination.  The airflow between cylinders isn't dead even, injectors can go off over time as well, with the turbos overboosting if you didn't have upgraded fuel system there could have possibly been a bit of leaning out - stock triggering is often a bit unreliable by this age too.  Basically its an old engine and a few things could have been going on, and you won't know how much work is needed until the engine is apart.

      I'm just shocked there's a euro driver on our roads who is thinking of other road users and not attempting to blind everyone. I wonder if Prank uses his indicator too...

      So whats the deal with the porous block VR30DDTT

      By Duncan · Posted

      Its hard to tell really. The Q50 owner's forum talks about it a lot and has quite a few people directly affected, but no idea what % of cars sold actually had the block replaced. Also, there seem to be 2 distinct issues which both get diagnosed by Infiniti as requiring a block replacement (no wonder they are going broke) 1. "Porous block" where coolant mixes with oil through thin or poorly cast parts of the block 2. Head coolant gallery plugs not sealing. If I was noticing engine coolant loss I'd start with cooling system pressure test (as always) and then I'd pull the cam covers and reseal the coolant gallery plugs on both side before worrying about a potentially porous block.  If neither of those did the trick it would be put in a second hand engine out of japan; I haven't checked pricing but I'm sure there are plenty around by now as they've been in production 10+ years

      To clarify what I posted above, I thought you both had a situation where it cancelled sooner one way than the other.....if it is reasonably even where it cancels in either direction that is probably normal (consider gentle movements like lane changes, you don't want it to need half a turn of lock to turn the indicators off)

      Son, in this country, that is a piece of Gyprock. f**king drywall. FFS! I also like the autocorrect of trailer to tablet. I was reading it and thing, "what the hell drugs is he on?" Then the photo made it clear enough.
