they remove the HID bulb and ballast, and replace with standard bulb.

Find yourself a cheap aftermarket set and hook up HID again! :wave:

so you mean there is no difference between normal headlight unit and xenon head light unit other than removed original ballast and HID bulb?

so if i buy aftermarket HID kit and install onto my headlights it wont glare as much as r33 which they dont have xenon headlight houseing.????

cheers

Your headlight probably had HID globes in them from factory (that's why you've got the 'xenon' printed), but there's a high chance that the compliance company took them out and put halogen globes in.

To check whether or not you've got HID globe installed at the moment, check around the headlight to see if there's a ballast mounted somewhere. Or you can just switch on your headlights and see if they come on straight away or not. If they come straight on to the normal colour, they're halogen, but if they look like they 'power up' in the first 2 secs, then it's probably HID's.

Make sure the globes are cold when you test this way.

Hope that made some sense.

f**k, why didn't I think of this before....

Just take your existing globes out, if they look like normal halogen globes, they're halogen, but if they look like a tube with a little 'bulge' in the middle, they're HID.

Post up a pick if you're not sure.

lol thanks adam!!

so there is no difference between normal halogen headlight house and HID headlight house?

i know i have normal harlogen light bulb cz i changed light bulb last time myself...

as long as there is no differnce between those two light housing... that means i can possibly put HID kit onto my

headlight right????

SO NON-XENON HEADLIGHT UNIT AND XENON HEADLIGHT UNIT ARE THE SAME UNIT BUT XENON HEADLIGHT UNIT HAS BALLAST INSTALLED AND NON-XENON HAS NO BALLAST.. AM I RIGHT?

AND IF IM RIGHT there is no such things as OEM xenon r34 headlight unit right?

all head light units are same but the fact that ballast is in it or not...

than why people selling oem xenon headlight unit and why people buy that?

why dont they just buy HID kit and install them??????????

No, no umm, I think there would be some 34 headlight housings which only came with halogen globes, but if your headlight has the 'xenon' printed, it had HID's installed back in Japan, but the compliance people took them out because they're illegal on Australian roads.

If you've got the 'xenon' printed and you plan on putting HID's back in, you can, you just have to make sure you get the genuine HID system that came with the 34's. You can't throw those cheap HID kits in for example.

Headlight housings which came with HID's will have a different reflector design to those without HID. The two globes produce light in a different position. If 34's ever came with halogens from factory, there will be two different types of housings on the market.

As long as you get globes that are the same as the genuine ones I don't see a problem. For example, if you're headlight originally took D2S globes, you must get D2S globes for your headlights to perform at their best, but that's a bit obvious, I didn't have to explain that. :wave:

Good luck, I hope you find a set of globes and ballast at a good price.

There are 2 TYPES of FACTORY headlight 'assembly'. One if factory halogen, one is factory Xenon.

Xenon is defined by the embossed 'Xenon' on the front/horizontal part of the assembly. The two assemblies in general look quite different.

The Xenon reflectors are designed for a D2R globe light pattern ONLY. In other words, an H1 Xenon globe will produce some glare and will not have the same quality as a D2R globe even though both will be HID lighting.

You can get away with an aftermarket HID kit in the R34 Xenon assembly, but the light output isn't the prettiest. I wonder if the light output is better on the factory halogen assembly?

Anyways, hope that clears it up for ya

Hey guys I have been trying to sort out my missing high beam bulb problem for a few weeks but everywhere i take my spare bulb(3rd pic), they just look at it very wierdly. I hope that buy just looking at these pictures somebody might tell me what i need to buy to replace the missing bulb. The casing of my lights say Xenon.

I need the bulb and the black bit connected to it (everything in 3rd pic), which then connects to the casing(1st n 2nd pic).. If anyone can help me i would appreciate it very much. im exhausted in looking around and i need to take the car over the pits and register it.

By reading this forum Im gona search my car 2moro for hid ballasts..

low beams flick on straight away and are not that bright so must be halogen?

If I buy a pair of new Hid ballasts, will that fix my problem? what ballast do i buy?

Is there a limit to how legal the power of the bulbs?.. ( taking car over pits)

Sorry about all the questions but Ive never dealt with xenon or any hid lighting before. Cheers!

To get the most out of your original HID housing, get the D2R globes (assuming that they're the factory style).

You can get those cheap HID kits with D2R on ebay, but you said 'decent', not sure if those will be.

i have no idea why i didn't think about this, but is there anything stopping us R34 owners with Xenon assembly's, but hacked due to compliance, from getting D2R kits and get an OEM light output?????

I thought i wrote this idea off for some reason, but can't remember why....

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed

      Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine

      Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)

      I'll send you a message, but until I know what is OK (and anything that isn't) its kind of hard to work out a fair price. BTW I'm just helping out here, ultimately it is Mel's call what she accepts but I know it will go sooner or later.
