Xenon conversion in a Series 2 R33 Gts-t

[uneekwahn]

I've just scored a IPF Xenon kit, with globes for $300.

My dilemma is that I have a Series 2 R33 Gts-t and I'm wondering if the polycarbonate headlight lenses will stand the heat?

The Series 1 headlights have glass before the polycarbonate, and I've seen xenons in a Series 1, but never a Series 2.

Does anyone have a Series 2 with xenon conversion, or know someone who does, and can tell me if the polycarbonate lenses can stand the heat and not melt?

Thanks,

Jason.

It was my impression that Xenon run colder than halogens.

I thought so too, but just want to make sure before I put the kit in, JUST in case

Don't want to have to buy new headlight assembleys

xenon lights only dissipate about 35W, halogens are 65W. so your lenses will be able to tolerate it easily. However I think putting HIDs in standard reflectors is illegal, so make sure your headlights aren't aimed too high and be careful of mr plod

installed the xenons today, and they're awesome.

I strongly recommend those that want to add a nice look to their cars, get xenons

also what is the brightness of the globes that you got with the kit ?? Cheers Rob

I have installed two kits in my series 1 low beam & 1 high beam they both take H1 globes. If you do the same just remenber that the xenons take time to warm up so get a auto sparkie to make the low beams stay on with the high beams or you have no light for 15 seconds during change over which was a little scary. www.globalpremier.com have some kits, anyone for pics?

Do you know if these auto electricians care much about the legalities of Xenon conversions given that ALL kits are technically illegal?

And can someone pass us a contact in Sydney?

The photos are being developed and will be ready for me to pick up tomorrow, then I just need to scan them. Probably sometime closer to the weekend.

One question.

If you have the stock washer bottle on the right side of the car, where do you put the ballast for the drivers' side Xenon?

Mines about the size of a largish packet of cigarettes.

ok, why are the bulbs at the site so friggen cheap? I was asking about getting some Xenon bulbs for a R34 if the original ones are destroyed in compliance (also assuming they leave the xenon assembly in as well), and ppl were saying around $250-500 just for a pair of globes??
