there are some metal covers inside, if you take them out you get a bit more light out of them

they are fogs so it'll always be a wide spread

i was thinking about getting some driving lights for below them or maybe next to the number plate tho

i actually had the lights on each side of the number plate which im sure are a dayz option with the kit...they were pretty

cool but got sacrificed for the intercooler...

i heated of my outer lenses with a hair dryer then took out the two inner lenses, one clear the other orange to get the full

light spread. now the normal halogen light colour.

same, then i got some "5000k" halogen bulbs

basically normal bulbs with a blue coating

not as blue as the xenons, but a lot whiter than the stock bulbs

oh yeah regarding on bubba's comment on replacing driving lights, no.

found the one's in the grille quite good.

in saying that got a pair of nice 100w spotties out in the garage been boxed away for years new unused (gift).

similar size and shape to the cibie's on the dayz s2.

been eyeing of that aunger thing and umming/arrrring if i really need to get it and fit them.

Pipster are you talking about the yellow fogs in in the front bar with your indicators? I would like to do this and make them white if they are the ones you guys are referring too the yellow some how makes the car look more dated to me

sure am

put them in the oven with the temp on low ~80*c then slowly pull the lens off

once open, there is a yellow tinted glass in front of the bulb that just unscrews and comes off

I threw my Fogs in the Oven after Preheating to 90c for 10min, the lens came off VERY easy with the help of a flat blade screwdivers.

I removed the Yellow Glass Filter + the Amber Filter for the indicator.

Recently installed 50 Watt 6000k HIDs in the Fog lights, Looks A MILLING DOLLARS!!!

I cant stress how much better it looks. IMO... :)

Just did this to a mates Stagea aswell.

That I have seen,read and heard, we're the only 2x on the coast with HIDs in the Fogs :P

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
