Search.

They are H1 for low beam.

H1 for both high and low beam

H1 for both high and low beam

so do i need two sets of the hid H1 kit? or most of the people only just get one set for the low beam?

cheers

Only low beam. Don't use a HID kit on a high beam unless you have your headlights rewired so the low beams stay on when you put your high beams on.

Otherwise you will have no lights for a few seconds when you switch from low beam to high beam.

HID kits create a lot of glare for oncoming drivers, the reflectors in R33s simply aren't designed for it. Bad idea.

and there is one more thing, do r33's use 35w or 55w?

Shouldn't really matter too much to be honest. Just 55w will be brighter and use more power.

Is there a specific reason you're going HID Xenon's?

As Kinks said, the reflectors aren't designed for HID's and can cause weird light spreads that can really disturb oncoming traffic and might get you some unwanted attention from the popo.

Light is more than just light and not all light is the same.

If it's colour you want, just get some 5000K halogens (That's 5000 Kelvins, a colour temperature) to get a really nice white coloured light that is almost touching blue in appearance. Phillips Diamond Vision bulbs will do the trick and it's a direct plug into the existing lights, too easy.

Im running hids in mine and have lowered them slightly dont get flashed or nething from any oncomming traffic also have them in the high and low with a relay anf switch set up like driving lights so wen i have the high beams on i dont loose the charge out of my low beams

[NA_Goodness]

I just put them in the low beams of mine, high beam is useless now cos the amount of light is reduced when I turn them on!

However as people said, they aren't designed for them and I get flashed a lot. Car isn't driven that often, so it doesn't bother me too much.

Play around with the adjustment man. Point them down and inwards more with your drivers side slightly higher than your passengers side.

Once adjusted they aren't THAT bad.

I didn't think HID's were that bad in skylines. Had been thinking about getting some for low beam but not so sure now :S
