R34 Headlight Bulb Loose/poor Fitting

[Manuel Kasko]

Hey guys,

So I'm currently struggling with headlights blowing on my R34, it came with xenon headlights when imported but they were removed.

It's now meant to take the normal bulbs, they fit into the socket but the clip that holds them in place is designed for the much wider xenon bulbs.

It doesn't seem to want to hold them in place properly, anyone else got this problem or have a solution to it.

Bend your own clip, somehow.

Throw the adaptor out and put 4300K D2S HID kit in.

I still have all the original stuff so I can put the original HID back in.

I just don't have the expertise to do that so I'll have to book it in somewhere.

That's the way to go Daniel

Good time to learn Unless you need your car on the road yesterday.

Just remember not to use stupid coloured bulbs, otherwise prepare for high chance of getting defected.

Thanks for the adivce, the reason I hadn't changed back to HID was because I was worried about defects.

But if you think if you stick to stock colours it won't be an issue, then I might give it a shot.

The rest of the car is completely stock so I'm not too worried.

Really depends on your area. Non-glare, stock coloured lights should be fine. Hell I've retrofitted HIDs in my R32 and the Police never even looked at it (nor the rest of my car, keep it reasonably standard and don't be a tool).
