Sorry To Say But I Find Hid's

[siddr20]

I remember there has been fair few topics/debates about HID kits in Series 2 R33.

I was skeptical at first and i read all the points and thought fair enough, i dont think i will ever buy HID's because of those reasons..

Did someone say since they are projector type headlights, they will scatter everywhere?? Thought that was the main reason?? cant remember now

ANYWAYS!!!

I got my hands on a jap brand HID Kit - BELLOF.. Looked it up on negun and its worth a lot!!! i mean a lot lol..

So it was basically plug and play.. Been in the car for a few days now and i love it!!

I honestly DONT think the light scatters or you can see any DEAD SPOTS..

I have seen some cars with hid kits and you can notice a dead spot, or the left headlight shoots futher out to the left than right..

But im finding this HID kit to be perfect.. Been driving around at night for the past few nights and havnt been flashed at all..

Maybe there is a difference between cheap and expensive HID kits?

Either way im happy and i guess thats what counts.

Heres a pic that comparing with my old yellow bulbs.

Perhaps the GURU's from those debate threads can comment?

Or if you need a particular shot please let me know and i will take it.

Would love to hear what you think.

Im using supervision 6000k in my skyline, and i cant complain at all. Ive used HIDs on numerous cars, and since the first time i used it, ill never use normal lights again!!

i would recommend them to anyone.

[nzm033]

They look heaps white

By any chance do u know how to align headlights?

I tried to turn all the screws at the back of the head light but nothing moves as im getting HID's soon and dont want to blind other people

[siddr20]

Gald to hear brendan.. Supervision- they phillips?

skyline17 - yup its the screws. The ones on the back move it up and down.. The ones near the grill area moves it left and right!! But dont adjust that

Sorry wouldnt know what else to do if the screws didnt work.

With projector lenses, the light would scatter less than reflectors (what you've got).

Can you get another picture with your car ~10m away from the wall? And have it in a dark area so that the only light would be coming from your car? Your picture is too close to the wall to really say anything about the glare.

[siddr20]

Oh so i have reflectors?

No worries, will take a pic tomorrow night!! feeling lazy now lol..

Yep, from what I can see in your avatar. If you had projectors in the R33 headlights, you would already have HIDs (series 3 GTR come with them I think it was).

not sure if they are philips... but i know they are worth a few dollars..

i love them =)

The lights that are annoying are the new ones that change colours. Like from yellow to blue.. (not the actual light being emitted, but the bulb it self)

I know the honda accord euro uses them... they always catch my eye in my rear view mirror ..

Are you talking about the flicker? From normal light to sometimes blue, red, pink?

That's from the projectors. It happens when light refracts off the lens. White light is made up of 3 main colours. Each colour is bent according to their speeds of travel. The light you see are the separate colours, nothing really to do with the globes.

[siddr20]

Thats for informing us about that. I always wondered why it happens!! Learn something new each day

I will get a pic tonight for you

[DECIM8]

This will solve it for you, go for a midnight drive..

you will never love anything on your car more, except maybe a big turbo Z:D

i love my hid in my r34, 6500 had them for 2 years now, no problem.

although the other night i was being followed by a lancer with the brightest f**kers ive ever seen, i folded the side mirror down and the rear view moved, but it looked like the inside of ym car was in the blaarring sun.... it pissed me off so bad, and ever time i tried to get away or slow down s he could pass hes stay on me.

i know thios is off topic, but im fairly sure he was using HID in the wrong type of headlights it pissed me off, and made it impossible to drive safely.

rant over

[GTS4WD]

Yeah.. sure.. their aweseome.. for the driver..

not for on-comming drivers.. let alone in the rain..

[NA_Goodness]

Agreed. I've driven in front of an R33 with them, VERY annoying. Still, I wouldnt mind some on my car

Yep, chances are these guys were running HID's in their reflector housing headlights. Having them in projectors(R32's) are bad enough. They produce HEAPS of glare. Having them in reflectors will be much worse. We'll see how siddr20's lights come out though. Sounds like he spent extra cash for quality globes.

Couldn't agree more.

[dori34]

the reason oneside shines further then the other is because its not aligned properly..

(dont know if anyone has mentioned that yet but i couldnt be bothered reading the whole thread)

hid's are the best..

ill never go back to standard crap yellow bulbs lol

[siddr20]

Well put it this way.. was at a intersection.. going straight, and there was a cop in front.. he didnt do anything..

I will get a pic up tonight for yas..
