Hey guys , I have a stock r34 however the previous owner in japan seemed to installed a HID kit in the car. Yesterday my light had blown and so when i went to replace i discovered it was a weird looking bulb.( See below)

Can someone please tell me if the globe i have is a regular xenon globe or is called something else, and where possibly i could get them? Im located in Melbourne

Also if i do find a pair and they are 55w does it matter if put them in, even though the one i took out was a 35W bulb?

Many thanks in advance

Anu

Ebay Gives answers

HID D2R 35W Bulbs

That is basically all the info you would need to go get the bulbs from a local shop (autobarn might be able to help)

Take one in with you if your worried. Most HID bulbs for cars are 35w I think anyway

EDIT: These look like the exact ones Phillips globes

55w is going to be a lot hotter and brighter than your 35w, so there's chances that you might melt something in your headlight if you go too hot :P

But generally speaking, from normal driving, you wouldn't need anything more than 35w, it will be bright enough for the roads.

they aren't factory option hid's?

they look like the factory ones. if they are i got a replacement set from a guy on the forums, but i think he sells them through an ebay business now.

worked out a lot cheaper then replacement ones through an auto parts store.

Whoa thanks for the replies guys , so i did more research and i found that no auto stores stock them , i need em asap so yes ebay it will have to be

I looked on ebay and there are some that have D2R and D2S and from what iv read is that D2R have a reflector shielding to reduce glare and the D2R dont, yet they say they will both fit in the car.

If i settle for the D2S i should be alright i rekon.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Anu

UPDATE!

just bought some globes of a local dude 30 bucks for the pair. Score! they were D2C's the base had cuts in them to fit both D2R and D2S.

I only replaced the right one cus it had blow and to also see what the new ones were like, they are only a tad brighter than the left hand side one probs because the left one is old and is dying out.

Thanks for all the reply's and the great info people !!

what you had in yr pic is what i found in my glovebox. what i have in my headlights is H1 globes 55w with a adaptor disc. Is what you have the original jap bulb that is supposed to be replaced when the car is complianced for australia?

Also, does the back of your globe when inserted into its holder have a fold down wire clip to clamp down?

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
