One of my headlight bulbs (low beam) blew the other day in my R33. I've been looking around for some nice globes and have searched the forums and have read many threads about various brands.

I am after whitish/bluish bulbs that are brighter than stock. I came across some Raybrig bulbs which some are using here with good results. I'm not after HIDs.

The set I am looking at are the Raybrig Whitesonic S 4900K bulbs and from what I can see is the nice white colour I am after. I found those bulbs listed on this page.

Seeing as I have a R33 (series 2 headlights I should add) with polycarbonate lenses, will these globes be ok and not melt or deform my lights or wiring? They are rated at 12v/55w but the light output is around 95w. I think these are halogen, please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, I've heard some globes when they blow, they can explode and take the headlight with them. Is this true?

In my search I have also come across recommendations for Phillips chromium white 4200k and Philips Crystal Vision.

The bottom line is from what I have seen I like the Raybrig Whitesonics but I am not sure if they will be safe for polycarbonate headlights. Any info I can get would be great.

:D

BAHAHAHA :P:P

I've changed many, many, many head light globes (Apprentice Mechanic) and I've NEVER seen or heard of one exploding! Lol. Most of the time you cant even tell they're broken just by looking at them! Hahaha :blush::)

Good to know! I was told some types of globes i.e. xenon can do this. I know some globes are capable of exploding so I thought ill ask :D

I just received a reply from Raybrig confirming that the Whitesonic S bulbs will not melt/damage polycarbonate headlights in any way. The bulbs are rated at the standard 12v/55w (H1 type) so I can't see any wiring or switches melting. Should be just plug and play.

Has anyone had any experience with these bulbs?

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.

      Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.

      I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
