Light bulbs

[Nic_H98]

One of my headlight bulbs has blown. What kind of lightbulb do I need?

Try the search bar chief. Something tells me this might have been covered before...

You are going to have to take out the blown one at some point, might as well do it now and answer this puzzling mystery

While I'm not usually one to be a smart arse with new members, you haven't even told us the car model/year let alone the actual headlight (high/low beam). This is a ridiculous question.

Sorry guys. Posted this last night. I have a er34 skyline. My right headlight has gone out. And I do not know if I need to get a whole new headlight or if I can replace the bulb.

cheers!

Yeah Sorry man. Hahah it’s a 2000 er34 sedan. Stock headlights, so low beam I assume... can o replace the bulb. Or do I need a new headlight all togeather?

Bulb.  I shall also refrain from saying passively aggressive nasty things.  But really, this should be obvious.  Have you even opened the bonnet to see?  Dammit, I failed at avoiding saying passively aggressive things.  Oh well.

There are 2 types, Xenon or Halogen, both take different bulbs.

1. Google image search R34 Xenon
2. Google image search R34 Halogen
3. Pick the one which looks like your car
4. Google search R34 Xenon/Halogen Bulb and traul some forums then buy a bulb.

Alternatively, take the bulb out, take the bulb to an auto parts store and ask for 1 (or 2) of this one please.

Xenon bulb = D2R (check the low beam reflector, should say 'XENON' along the bottom if it is HID).

Halogen bulb = H1

Don't put H1 HID in your halogen reflector.

Thanks guys! I’m sorry I’m not used to the way you’re supposed to describe things. I have no experience with cars at all and the best place to ask questions would be here.

thank you for understanding

Asking questions is fine mate - but as a rule of thumb (and life) try applying some logic, and doing the first and most rudimentary steps first.

Your question contained no substance, and basically zero effort was put in by you.

Did you even look at your headlight? Did you try and take the bulb out? If you couldn't do that, why are you asking in the first place?

Not trying to be a dick mate, people are willing to help if you at least try to help yourself.
