R34 Xenon Headlights Problem

[dori34]

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

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 ive seen the ballasts mounted under the headlights and mine dont have them..

i guess im going to have to mod the wiring and get one of my HID kits in the group buy i organised awhile back.
