Hey,

Does anyone know what type of globe is in the S3 R33 GTR headlights (Xenon)?

also does anyone know the rating?

i pulled the globe out and on the side it had 12000k but it does not look anywhere near that brightness

Seeing that these were factory items, they would be 4300k or 5000k at most.

Not too sure what the globe type is though. Is it printed somewhere at the base of the globe? If not, just take it to your local repco or autobahn, they should be able to identify it for you.

thanks for the reply,

i was guessing they were 4300k but for some reason mine has 12000k on them (but they dont like anywhere near that bright). Went to nissan today was quote $439 per globe with 12day wait from japan lol

LOL that's a crazy price.

12,000k wouldn't be brighter than 4300k. Headlight lights usually range from as low as 3000k to 12,000k. It goes from a yellow light to white to blue, violet, then ultraviolet. 4300k is the brightest temperature. Same as our Sun's colour output. 12,000k would just mean the light is more blue/purple and slightly 'less bright' than 'brightest'. Just felt like explaining.

pm that guy 666DAN. I heard he can get xenon bulbs for R34's. So he would probably know what ones suit 33's

They are standard 4300k. Get 4300k or 5000k. Check Ebay, you can get them from the USA or Germany MUCH cheaper. Make sure you get proper Phillips or Osram ones. Don't bother with any other brands. D2S or D2R I can't remember which are which off the top of my head, but it's obvious when you look at them.
