Skyline Bulb Types

[sevened]

Hi guys,

Sorry I'm not too savvy with electrics but can I confirm that in an R34 GTT:

a) "parkers" are the lights on the outer most side of the headlamps? From outside to inside: parkers > low beam > high beam?

b) The parkers bulb is a T10?

c) If you have HID installed for the low beam(H1), do you need another set of kit with additional ballast for the parkers or do you just need the extra HID bulbs and plug it into the existing low beam ballast?

Would greatly appreciate any advice on this!!

Cheers.

Parkers aren't HID - they don't need a ballast.

Could I suggest including wattage information?

I can confirm that an R33 GTST takes 55 watt H1's in the headlights.

I suspect that going higher *might* do some damage to the plastic lenses? The Philips globes I bought (55w Crystalvision 4300K) said something about being UV coated so that they're safe to use with plastic headlights.

The s2 foglights also use 55w globes, in H3. I was *almost* about to buy some "JAG" branded 100w H3's, but i'll probably play the safety card and try to find 55w globes instead. The foglight assembly is metal, and the lens is glass, so it probably would take 100w anyway.

Will post this up cos its not all that easy to find -

R34 GTT Tail light bulbs -

Outside (larger) tail lights - 1 x T20 Dual filament bulb. Wedge type (if you dont get the dual filament, it will only light up when brakes are applied, not when headlights are on)

Inside (smaller) tail lights - 2 x T10 wedge type

wait so r33's take 4 globes aswell as the 2 parkers? 2 low beam and 2 high beam?

(im use to commodores with H4 globes)

Hey guys my headlight just went and I was thinking of getting some 100w h1 bulbs to replace both headlights I don't really care about high beam as the 100w will be enought for all kinds of driving I just wanted to know if it will stuff up my headlight like the plastic and how clear they are

Yes this is right, they use 2 seperate lights, 1 for each. Alot of commodores use 2 bulbs the only difference is that they use a H4 which does low and high beam then they have another bulb just for high beam.

Park lights are the same deal, Usually Wedge (T10) bulbs in alot of different cars

Use this to work out which one it is. I replaced mine with LED's (can buy them from supercheap) that have 4,6,8 etc LED's and then have attatchments that plug/screw into your existing socket
