Lights

[Mitch - BOV17]

Hi Guys,

I have my R33 Series 1 Coupe in getting painted at the moment and I would like to buy some replacement headlights and a few other bulbs as well.

I have searched around but cannot find a comprising list of bulbs?

could anyone assist or tell me where i should look for.

Head Lights (i did find but which HID kids are the best for a 33?)

front bumper bar lights indicators etc.

rear spoiler (The high type one not the flatish one) dont appear to work?

rear indicators and reverse lights as well as number plate lights

and my interior light doesnt work either.

I would be looking at replacing all of these with LED's but i have been informed if I replace the indicators they will flash fast?? how do i over come this.

much appreciated, Mitch.

i think you can get proper indicator LED bulbs that won't flash fast, or you can replace the flasher can.

most of the bulbs for the brake lights, etc are standard bulbs, so just go into your local car parts store and ask them.

headlights are H1 from memory (for both low beam and high beam). as for HID's there have been a few threads on it (i don't really know much about them)

hey these are the hid's im running in my car and think they're fantastic! people saying that they don't disperse the light properly are talking shit! The visibilty at night is amazing and I've never had complaints about blinding oncoming drivers except when I first had them fitted as I had to aim the headlights down just a fraction. technically they are a defect but I've never been done for it and I've had several full vehicle inspections from police at night with the lights on but the risk is totally up to you! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EDX-v1-HID-H1-Xenon-Kit-Skyline-R32-R33-GTR-GTST-8000K-/260659161470?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb07f297e

nice! i ended up getting the 8000k. to help you with your question... the side indicators, parkers and license plate lights are all a t10 wedge type bulb. The reverse and rear indicators are a bayonet style bulb (type 1156 with one prong on the bottom) and the brake lights are also a bayonet (type 1157) with two prongs on the bottom. I tried replacing my indicators with led's but I had the rapid flashing problem so I put the old ones back in. Easy problem to fix apparently but I couldn't be bothered. You can get the interior led's from places like supercheap etc. There made to fit a wide range of different connectors and come with all the necessary adaptors to plug and play.

i just realised you have an r32 lol i imagine the bulbs would be the same if not fairly similar to an r33.
