they are H1, u will need 1 for each light .. just open the bonnect look behind the light .. its very easy once u see it... twist the cover open.. play around with the clip that holds it there ... you'll know when u see it .. and those blue xenons i don't think are blue at all .. just white .. they turn less white after a while of use ..

hope that helps

Get Philips or Osram. Both brands sell very good quality blue and white bulbs. Most of the other "blue" brands produce the wrong kind of blue (there are exceptions but I don't know of them). I am going to get some Philips white bulbs myself. They're only $80 for 4, but I am holding off until I get my tax refund. My insurance came in and it hurts :P

Narva bulbs are over-powered to get their brightness and as such tend to fail early.

The only place that used to sell them was a place in melb that closed down.... they were like $150 a pair but were marked up heaps. I got mine for like 70 bucks a pair from Hong Kong. There must be someone around in Aust (even a mail order place) that can get them for under a hundred bucks

The Philips Vision Plus I want to get are $40 a pair from Autobarn. I think Covingtons might be a bit cheaper, I will check there before I buy. I think the blue ones are in the same price range.

Hippy, I don't think they're illegal, but ask the shop guys. If you don't want to take their word then maybe ask the RTA, or just ask the cop when he pulls you over :D

Kdawgboostin33, I wouldn't bother changing the parkers. Why would you want to?

Hi Guys, though i'd post up some pics, theres hardly any difference looking at my crudy photos, but I have to say it really makes a difference when driving, i'd estimate about 30% better.

These are Philips Vison Plus ($39 from Autobarn) they were actually the cheapest ones they had. They have blue tips, but there is no blue element visible both when driving and looking at them from different angles with the naked eye.

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.

      You would need to paint your hardtop again though

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      I have an old R32 in the shed that hasnt moved much in the last few years and probably should see the light of day. At one point I had a Nismo 1.5 centre put in the rear diff. It is a clunky nightmare POS of a thing on a good day. To make it less painful the initial torque setting has been put on the minimum (7.0kgf-m, mid is 9.5, high is 14) and the oil changed out to something more slippery. But it is still awful and ruins the vibe of the thing. So my questions are: Given I have the original parts sitting in a box somewhere would it be better to rebuild the thing again, reverting to more purity? Is there a standard kit or do you just go and replace the friction plates etc and shim it the way you like it. How much initial torque does the standard R32 rear diff have? Or does the Nismo disc kit offer a better solution - the caveat being the initial torque for both options appears to be higher than the clunky 1.5 way. There appear to be two Nismo disc kits: 3843S-RS520 for 8kgf-m. 3843S-RS521 for 12kgf-m. Or is the easiest solution to reshim the Nismo diff to make it looser?
