R34 Headlight Removal

[Jack-]

One of my headlight globes blew recently and i was wondering how do i take the headlight cover off to change the globe, and it says xenon in the light, so do i need special globes or what and where can i get them?

if anyone can help it'd be much appreciated, thanks

ill find you a guide i found out how to do it myself its pretty easy you mainly just unbolt the 4 bolts holding it down which are easy to see, lift it up a bit and remove it from the back. 1 sec i have a guide let me find it for you

there are these big skrew like caps on the back of each headlight, cant miss them, just unscrew it and you have access to the screw in globe holder piece, pull it out and pull out the globe, quite simple really, wont take you long

do i need special globes or standard ones fine? It's just my headlight is out, not the highbeam or parker

i couldnt get mine out unless i took off my front bar.

when i installed my xenons, i had to bend the area around the headlight just to pop it out a little bit.

very dangerous as the plastic may crack.

you need H1 globes.

u got a factory front bar?

one of my headlights blew the day i got my 34, as said it takes H1's,

it was a simple matter of un screwing and screwing in the new ones, ( i have the factory bar, so i didnt need to move or remove anything) be sure not to touch the globe on the new one, or avoid it as much as possible as your fingers will leave moisture and the likes on the globe which can cause it to blow out sooner rather than later

sweet dude thanks for the help

i'll head down to autobarn later n see if they got any globes

[urtwhistle]

Hey guys, quick question for you. i had a small bingle the other day. and smashed the back out of my xenon lights. do you know if you can get non xenon housings and put all the xenon gear in it? any help would be great.

I just did this a couple days ago on my R34. You don't need to remove the headlight housing itself, just remove the globe by unscrewing the big wheel-shaped plastic bit directly behind the headlight.

However this is harder than it sounds due to one small little screw that can make your life hell (well it made mine for about half an hour anyway). There is a screw in place at the bottom of this plastic wheel that stops you from spinning it. You need to undo the screw first. The screw head (on my car anyway) is not your standard screw, it's not even a phillips head shape. Its some weird star shape and I have no screwdrivers that can undo it. So in the end I just ended up using my screwdriver to jam it open (not ideal, but I was frustrated).

When you replace the globe, any H1 globe will do. Make sure you get 55W and not 100W. I bought a Phillips one for around $10.

Yes, H1's can be used for all R34's for both low beam and high beams.
