Tried a search but couldn't find what I was looking for.

My Xenons have been converted to halogen bulbs for compliance as with most 34s. One of the park lights(i think the one at the edge is the parker?) has gone and I need to replace it. I wanted to know what type of Halogen bulb I will need to buy to replace this and any suggestions on where to get these from?

Any specific tips for dissasembling the headlight would be great too. Thanks.

you should be able to take the globe out without taking the h/light apart . you can get the globe at any auto shop , take yours out and tested to make sure its the globe then buy one the same .

hmmm, unless its one of those damn stupid 'sealed beam' headlights (i think thats what they are called)

when the compliance guy did my brothers type x 180sx, he changed the whole headlight, and its sealed, so u have to buy the whole thing, cant replace the bulb, as the whole headlight is vacuum sealed! i dont think thats what you have, but it not too difficult to spot how to take the bulb out.

i've got h1 headlights on mine,, would so like some xenon headlights,,

anyways,, to get to the parker lights,,

u have to remove the battery or move it back atleast,, to get to the right parker light,,

some long nose plliers would help..

and to get to the left parker light,, you have to remove the intake box,,, should be bolted in 4 places,, and easy to get to.. also might have to remove the coolant reservoir tank,, 1 or 2 bolts i think,, than u can get to the parker lights easily.

the parker light sockets should be a twist on/ twist off plug,, twist left to unplug i think,,, thats if its the same parker lights as a H1 headlight..

either way, i think u'll have to remove all those things to get to the parker lights,,

hope it helps,,

Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

Just wanted to really know whether I would have to do some serious disassembly to get to the back of the bulb or not.

Just haven't got a lot of time to spend taking things apart and putting back together.

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
