hey guys

recently changed my headlights from standard projectors to N1 headlights (yay!)

now the N1 headlights use a single H4 style globe for low and hi beam

they have standard globes in at the moment and looks pretty avaerage ie. yellowish and not that bright

i want to get some H4 HID kits for them, obviously have to be lo and hi beam, what do people reccomend in terms of Wattage and lumens ??

i definetly dont want that super bright blue light, im after nice white light that doesnt blind people or attract police

thanks

I'll double check but I'm fairly certain I'm running 6000 and they're White not Blue

The fog lights look good in yellowish.

But If you really wanted to you could swap the globes out of the foglights too and put 120% brighter globes in (white).

I'll be giving that a shot to see the results :)

Do not get HID lights then. They will cause hot spots, bad glare and a poorly distributed beam.

I suggest looking at something like Narva Actic Plus 50. Put then in a N16 Pulsar (H1), they were noticeably brighter and whiter. I would say it produces advertised 3,900K.

I also suggest to put some relays so you don't fry out the headlight switch. Running thicker wires + relays also enables you to run higher wattage bulbs.

Make sure you align the headlights properly.

Navara Arctic +50. Worth a try to see if you like them, I have meant to.

I like the H4 Hids in the N1's but thats me.

They were not real good in the projector headlights but I have found in the N1's it turns night into day. and I like that !!

Agree to adjust headlights properly as the HID's can blind on comming traffic and those your following, if not dipped down a little further.

Some people just dont like HID's...

interesting replies

i currently have H4 Narva plus 50 (not the arctic ones) and the light is yellow....

richard do you or can you provide a pic with the HID's on at night if possible, have you noticed poor light at night or other issues?? how do the HID's go for lo/hi beam? are they the 35W or 55W ones?

thanks for the replies

Michael, I had the Navara Artic in the N1 lights and they were yellow, with a tiny tiny white Tinge, I can show you on my Civic (which now has those globes) if you want.

Look for a H4 hi/low beam kit, then you wire the 3rd plug for the highbeam into the same spot on the wiring harness.

Have a look on my FB at my old car and you can see what 6000k in non projectors looks like!

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
