Hid Kits

[Jenkk]

Hey guys,

i know there are heaps of topics on this but i cant seem to find one where people have installed H1 kits into their r34... most have done the D2R with adapters...

are there any cons to putting h1 kit in?... just seems easier as all topics on dr2 kits ppl have cut holes etc into rear of light cap..and just seems to be so much muckin around?

any help would be awesome! any recomendations too!

Cheers

Kris

you could just install the mock up xenon globes which are like $30 at supercheap

I bought some of them 2 years ago. They were complete crap. Could barely notice any difference from a normal globe.

Maybe they've changed since then though..

[Jenkk]

yeah already have them in..but they no where near as good as HID... so its time to buy!

Put h1 in my brother r34 series 2 mate. You will need to cut a hole in the cap anyways. Standard for hid installation.

I have H1 HID's in my 34, but apparently D2R globes are better, because the reflectors were designed for the D2R lights, so with H1, your lights would be scattered.

But for some reasons, there was already a hole in my caps, but it could just be the previous owner.

oh okay, cheers!

any problems with your H1's? still bright? what temp should i get - 5000k??

6000k would bring problems with cops ive heard....

[krzysiu]

I'm running 8000k. Never ever got done for em by cops

[Charles89]

Well.... I've got 35w 6000k in mine. Looks pretty white. But all in all, ANY aftermarket HID kits are illegal, as they aren't self-adjustable. So I can if you put a set of 12000k, you will get more attention than 5-6000k. And you can get done for em, just because some haven't, doesn't you won't lol. But at the end of the day, it is pretty easy to disconnect and plug your normal globe back in.

The difference between 5000k and 6000k is not that noticable, but difference between 5-6000k and 8000k is pretty noticable. As for voltage, you wouldn't need the 55w kit, 35w is bright enough. More power it uses, the hotter it gets, and you wouldn't want to melt your headlights

And if you want, I can get you a pic tomorrow night.

Get 4300K, the best.

If you could take the compliance adaptor out, then of course D2R, but for me, they somehow stuck the adaptor on permanently, so.....

But when it gets darker, I'll go out and take a pic for you.

[blah_blah]

+1 for a pic of the hid's

Is it possible to also to get a pic of the light against a wall to see what the cut-off looks like?

[Jenkk]

KEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!

[Charles89]

Here's some pics.

The second picture represents the colour of light best.

EDIT: I'll get a quick pic of the light against a wall on low and high setting for you guys. Gimme few mins.

[Charles89]

Hmmm.... Not sure if the pic can demonstrate what the 4 adjustable levels can do, but the difference between lowest and highest while on the road is about 30-40m.

Lowest

Highest

SWEEET! Thanks for ya help bro! looking about getting some Philips H1 HID KIT 6000k from ebay

Nah I haven't lol, coz I don't drive around on the highest setting

I keep it 2nd from lowest, so it's not that bad at all. I think I can still adjust the actual light itself to make em point down even more, haven't had time to play with it ever since installed.

But as for kit, I think you shouldn't splash so much money on one kit, because there are so many kits available now, and they are around $70-90 and for the price you pay for Philips, you could buy like 3-4 of them over a few years

here are the philips ones i was lookin at =
