Xenons - again =\

[ecl]

Hi all..

Sorry for posting up a thread which has been done over and over and over again, but after reading through the searches, i'm still confused as to r34's and xenons.

Ok, my r34 has the xenon word on the casing, the little switch inside which focuses the headlights up and down (not sure if this has anything to do with xenons).. The globes right now are yellowish so im pretty sure thye're not xenons but there seems to be a tint of blue if the light reflects off a window (maybe i'm imagining this though coz i want xenons so much hahahah jkjk) ... anyways, if i have the xenon word in the lamp, does this mean that:

1) I can locate xenon bulbs from compliancers (disregarding the fact that they arent auto cleaning/leveling) and plug them in ready to go?

2) I still need to replace alot of other items? E.g. wiring, casingetc.. Please list them if any...

3) Dont bother... cost > benefits =(

I mean, if my car did come with xenons and provided its not toooo expensive (less than $500) to get them working again, then i dont want to waste it.

edit: if the xenon plan does not go through, i was thinking of getting white/blue globes as i hate the standard ones in my car now (very yellowish + bad lighting @ night).. what rating is best for the most light and blue glow (rice factor =P ) and would not cop me a defect

Thanks

take a look at your headlights. There should be a white gear visible when you lift the bonnet. That is part of the levelling system. If there is still a shaft and a second gear connected to a motor then you still have the levelling parts. If not it's no huge deal you dont HAVE to have the levelling device working to run xenons.

To revert back to xenons you need to find if you still have ballasts. I dont know exactly where they are yet - im still looking. You will need to find where in the wiring harness they cut the ballast out of the system and rewire it in. Plug globes in and you should be done.

If the ballasts are gone then its not worth it. Buy a HID kit and install that instead.

Oh and you would KNOW if you had xenons. When you turn them on they dont glow very much for a few seconds until they warm up. I used to have them on the R34 before compliance. And the little knob that does the levelling changes the angle quite a lot. Very noticable if its all still working.

Also they are supposed to engrave "H155W" on the top of the headlight to indicate the type of halogens the lights now use. If you have that you know what lights you got.

man xenons own and to know if there real listen to them when ya turn em on they buzz a bit and yeah they light up gradually plus u should see a made in germany xenon stamp on the ballast...i bought some from xenonOz payed 1500 for a h1 kit for my 33 i know dats pricey but no other hid is legal supossedly...call them up if ya after new bulbs

ballast is bolted to the underside of the headlamp...
