Replacing Globes On A Gtr R33

[belltone]

Hi guys and gals

My headlight just blew on my darling Zila (95) so I need to replace it. I just bought Phillips H1 Vision plus 50.s (x2) for the low beams but I wonder what should I use for the high beams?

Any suggestions?

Secondly; I had a look under the hood (a couple of times!) and I couldn't figure out how to replace them.

Do I take out the whole headlight assembly or go in from behind: if so how?

I would appreciate advice and tips on how to install the bloody things!

and if this is too problematical for a dodo like me

CAN ANYONE RECOMMEND AN HONEST, COMPETENT, DOWN TO EARTH SKYLINE MECHANIC FOR BASIC REPAIRS ( HI PO MODS OPTIONAL)

(I am a V8 convert!) and my man at Highpoint Mufflers, though highly recommended***** is also a V8 man

(I live near Richmond, but will travel if need be)

Yours in responsible speeding,

cheers,

Tone

My R32 GTR was a headlight out job, to change my passenger side low beam, hard part was finding all the nuts to undo the wholething and pull it out.

If the 33 is anything like a 32 then it's a headlight out job.

Stock airbox makes it pretty crowded in there too.

Once you've installed the new bulb, do a check before you completely fit everything back as often the bulb can be a bit crooked, yet still fit in OK.

Big job to remove it all again just because the bulb isn't seated right home.

Pretty certain last time I had to replace a globe, the globes are fitted from the rear. Only time I had to remove the assembly was when the adjuster crapped itself.

You should be able to get 100W globes for the hi-beams.
