Xenon headlights - r32

[someonestolecc]

Hello,

Just wondering. I'd like to get the white light xenon (i think they're xenon) headlights. I wouldn't like to LOOK rice ie- have full blue headlights. However I would like to have the white light that audi, lexus, bmw, merc cars have.

They look better. (for driving inside the car looking out).

I'd like to minimise on the blue look from the outside.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also what's the difference between h3 h4 and is there a specification for r32 standard headlight attachment/screw-in bits or are they all standard?

Thanks

xenon is the type of gas they use in headlights and they're HID's not your regular halogen globes...they cost a lot as well... What you could probably do is get a 4300K - 5000K halogen globe. This is the cheap option and makes the headlights appear brighter. Truth be told R32 headlights suck and the best thing to do is buy a HID kit.

Now i just wanna spend money on a HID kit that has the quad light conversion for r32. Looks mad.

Oh well $500USD = PowerFC.

Hmmmm which would you choose? i mean really

This is recommended reading for Xenons:

Normally it's 2 x ballasts, 2 x xenon bulbs and they are quite expensive lights.

OEM R33 Xenons are prob. $1,500+

God damn..

They're still so cool tho.

Tell ya what when I get to that part of the upgrade on my car (ie if my normal lights die/faIl) you're on

Now i just need to start looking for the quad headlight convo

Tony - I think it's H4. How much are the kits?

[MANWHORE]

check the group buys section. That's still a bit exxy though. I've seen a two light hid kit for $400 so to convert all 4 would be $800. Pretty reasonable i'd say.

If you're willing to buy ex-US, $400 is possible.

is that a kind of xenon or halogen

[T0nyGTSt]

H1, H4 etc. is the light socket type.

eg. battery AA, D, C etc.
