my r34 has xenon headlights but without the xenon bulbs & ballasts.

can i buy the xenon bulbs & ballasts seperately(how much will this cost) ?

currently it has H1 bulbs which has been modified to fit the xenon housing (previous owner did this) i want to buy a HID kit but i dont know which.

Where the bulbs sit in the housing, its just a circle. where as H1 should be a different shape. (whats the bulb pattern of my current housing shape?)

hope someone can understand what i mean otherwise ill try to take pics tomorrow after work.

driver side headlight has a round metal cap on the back which the bulb connectors join to and it has a like a metal braided hose connected to it (i beleive this is for the factory Xenons) where as the passenger light doesn't.

my driver side headlight doesnt worjk even when changing bulbs so possibly this may be the reason why its not working at all.

any help much appreceiated...

The xenon bulbs and ballasts would've been taken out at compliance. No idea how that makes it any more safer, but anywho...

You should be able to purchase the standard kit and reinstall it if the standard cables haven't already been chopped to suit the H1 globes.

If you can find out what the standard globe size is, I guess you could always just get a kit off eBay and install that into your car. You'll be using the current wiring though (the one modded for H1 globes).

Sorry I couldn't be any more help.

^ driver side looks to be unmodded but the pass side definately has been.

driver side no longer works anymore and i dont know why. might have to take it out completely, cut it up & rewire it if i have to.

kinda sux when only one light is working :P

thanks for the info adam.

from nissan the headlights come complete with wiring and balasts which kind of sit in the bottom of the housing. I'm not sure if nissan will sell the balast seperately but obviously you can get the replacement xenon bulbs that are suitable for the factory xenons.

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
