Bright as fark... one to two second start time.

Guy who fitted them is a legend.

I'm happy that they're very stock looking.

NFI what is the rating (is this Kelvin?)

5000K like a monitor?

It's more white than blue though.

welcome to the xenon club

you'll never turn back.

what brand did you buy?

[T0nyGTSt]

They were some odd Asian type brand (Taiwan, Korean, no idea).

Compared to the dull old globes it's like night and day, so to speak.

should be around 4 - 6000k if he say white, for 8000k it will look blue, 12000k will look purple. The bigger the number, the birghter it is.

There is another thread in here explaining why the higher the temp (K) number doesn't always better. Between 4-6000K should be used for the street, anything above that would only create a blue ray that gives fatique to eye, gives a too abrupt cut off transition from the illuminated area, and can be dazzling other road users - thus very very illegal.

all aftermarket xenon lights are technically illegal unless they r fitted by factory, however didnt the r34 GTTs hav to lose the xenon lights when complianced?? double standards

[uneekwahn]

to retro fit a car with xenons that did not come standard with xenons requires an autoleveling function and an autocleaning function.

I can't think of the ADR's off the top off my head, but I have an ADR CD here, and it goes into it in detail.

do any jap cars from oem have auto-levelling xenons?

i can adjust via a switch incabin, i'd say it be expensive to convert to auto-levelling.

also wouldnt it be easier to fit the series 3 xenon head lights from factory?

[uneekwahn]

jtir: I don't know if any included autolevelling oem style.

to fit series 3 xenons costs quite a bit from what I'm aware. easiest way is to get a conversion kit, such as tonygtst and I have done.

Costs range from $300 (second hand) to $1800 (philips new release) and fitting is fairly easy.

S3 GT-R xenons are very expensive, rare and don't fit the GTS.

Many stock cars do no have autolevel/clean and they have much more annoying blue ting'ing than good AM kits.

I'd be surprised if I'm pull over for this.

4,000K to 5,000K will give off a some what reddish light it's below normal daylight kelvin.

6,500K is daylight ie the sun.

Above that is going to be more bluer, blue light travels the further than any other light spectrum so you could expect the bluer lights to go further but you'd also end up with a blue light so a blue light might not always be the best when driving.

An example would be the sky, it's not really blue it has no colour the only reason why it looks blue is that blue travels the best through the ozone layer, and doesn't get cut as much as the other colour spectrums.

Tony..you got PM'ed..

[Merli]

Tony, it took you this long to fit them?!?!?! :slap:

And I didn't once cop any police harassment about them, even when pulled over for RBTs, so you should be fine.

the s3 GTR headlight WILL fit S1 gts-t, but i think they worth at least 2k per pair

Tony

how much did yours cost u?

[T0nyGTSt]

It was a 2nd hand kit bought a while ago. Just had heaps to be between Point A and Point B. But makes a big difference in night driving.
