So I've had a search n have worked out that I'll probs get new bulbes through "sharperdeal" on Ebay. I'm thinking 6000K or 8000K. Not 100% yet cause although i want the 6000K's n really like the idea of having nice bright headlights, I'm not sure if they will be too bright n in that case I'd go for the 8000K's.

So I've got 3 questions.

1. What do people recomend out of the 2? I do a mix of City, Suburban and Highway driving. If some people can post up some pics maybe. Looking at the car as well as showing how far/much they light the area up.

2. Looking on "sharperdeals" Ebay page you can select D2R/D2S and then the intensity or you can just select the intensity. Which one do I need? From the looks the bases/mounting is different.

3. Also has anyone changed their parkers(ie.small bulbs in head lights)? And what with?

FYI: They will be going in a S2 RS FOUR S.

Thanks to everyone in advance

Hi Matteh

1. Personally I wouldn't go over 6000K otherwise looks too ricey and they attract The Filth.

2. Are you looking at upgrading your hi beams or headlights as the high beams are a Halogen D2R which you'd need an HID upgrade kit to do.

The Xenon Headlights are D2R

3. Yes. You can use anything that uses a T10 base. White LED's look the best with Xenons.

I want to go 6000K but im not sure if they'll be too bright. I dont want to be attracting unwanted attention. Plus I want everyone else on the road pissed off with me cause they can barely see.

Looking at upgrading my headlights. Maybe upgrade the Highbeam next.

3. Yes. You can use anything that uses a T10 base. White LED's look the best with Xenons.

I agree mate. That would be what I'd be doing. Is the T10 base a standard base?

Hey mate,

i run 8000 in my M35, they are a little on th eblue side but not to bad. They seem to really highlight and reflect objects in th edistance very well...

I also run LED's in the parkers that are made up from 18 multidirectional white LED's, they look sweet and match the HID colour well.

Just my 2c worth, I got all my globes through E-Bay, 60 for the HID' and 18 for the LED's.

Cheers

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
