As above D2R, if you go to Autobarn for replacements - take a toilet with you. I almost crapped myself when he said $350

EACH!!!

Needless to say i bought Philips Patent licensed ones that are 6000k off Ebay for $80 delivered.

Very clean white light with a tinge of blue.

No you don't need to take off the bumper. It's all done at the back of the Headlight. I was even able to do the drivers side without removing the battery.

You rotate the white/cream coloured cap with the little tab hanging off it clockwise to remove the cap.

Then you will see the metal cover that needs to be unclipped from its mounts.

From there you can rotate the main plug to remove it from the globe

Then you can undo the clip that holds the globe inplace and remove the globe itself.

I am pretty sure that procedure is correct as i did it about 3months ago.

Make sure you don't get your fingers on the new globe when installing.

Edit : These are what i bought

He will then msg you back to specify which exact bulb and you say Dee Too Arrr :D

I found the c34 headlights better than most new cars. What makes HIDs so much better?

HID lamps are a whiter light. they also use less power for the amount of light they produce. the lamps in the Stagea, are 35w the H1's they put in for complience are at least 60w lamps.

Awesome ! Glad to help.

I just remembered another thing - you will notice that the globe base has little cut outs in it or "locators". Make sure these are lined up so the bulb goes back in nice and flat.

Play around trial fitting the old ones first so you get comfortable with the procedure. I don't like forcing new parts :D

H1 is the parker bulb ( look at link it's tiny )

I didn't even need to look when doing the battery side, did it by feel while squishing my hand in there :D

Anyways, worst comes to worst - remove battery :D

same as R34, there is a small odd headed screw holding them in, i never put these back as they do almost nothing and the base clips itself in.

phillips is the way to go. 6000k give a better whiter light in my oppinion.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      By ValgeKotkas · Posted

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
