H3C

Or H1. Chances are you'll have or need some to suit H3C. If you've got H3C globes in at the moment, you'll need the HID kit with H3 globes. :action-smiley-069:

I don't recommend getting HID kits. Go retrofitting.

as said, its H3C but not many options exist in this style

you can fit H3 which are exactlythe same globe but have a slightly different back. all it requires is a new ground. you can probably find heaps of info with a good search.. the H3 offers a wide range of globes for your picking :D

When going for HID's, you don't need to modify anything for the H3's to fit. :D Well mine didn't.

I don't recommend getting these HID kits because they produce a lot of glare for on coming drivers (it's bad, but not as bad as those who put hid's in reflector housings), they're illegal and you can get defected for them (but what can't these days). They honestly gave me a better light output though. I can now see the road when it's raining.

Edit: I forgot to say something. If you're going to get an HID kit, get 4300K globes with them. I find the 6000K globes to be too blue and ricey looking. I still don't recommend getting them though. Go retrofitting man.

    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks. 
    • I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years. 
    • Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner
    • That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?
    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.
