HID kits for ceffies

[someonestolecc]

Hey guys,

Just toying with the idea of one day getting a HID kit (probably late this year early next year when I go to J-land).

Stock headlight globes are H11's right?

I've changed mine to accept H4's but would prefer to stay stock where possible.

Anyone using HID?

If not can someone please confirm H11's are the stock ceffy bulbs?

(Just talking about low-beam here)

Anyone?

[replicate]

Mine are H3c. Which are a pain to find.

i am getting set's of H3c HID's

had to make an one off order

If you don't mind sharing how much did you pay and what brand are they?

H3c ?? That's strangest thing I've ever heard.

I might just get myself some H4's and keep the conversion then if I decide to go ahead with the HIDs.

If I recall correctly - last time I looked at the bulb holder - it looked like there was a clip that would hold almost any bulb into place, then the connector would be plugged in.

Anyone know if H1's will fit the holder? (not worried about the connection/plugs cos I can modify later).

I'd be greatly appreciative if anyone could answer that as it would save me buying H1s just to see if they fit so I can order my HIDs.

Thanks.

Nevermind guys I've found enough info out I can see H1's can be easily modified to fit.

I'll be picking up a H1 HID kit tonight and fitting tonight or tommorrow. Should be good

would you like to share some info on that? price, where from, brand etc...

just changed my stock bulb... piss weak... especially after been driving my mum's commodore for few months (commodore = f!@#$%ing strong high beam + more than adequate low beam )

The cefiro now has HID !

Just finished installing it.

Bought up a H1 kit from BATMBL (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=70411) Kaixen Korean one - I couldn't afford German so I bought the next best thing.

I don't have a digicam atm so can't take pics but I was using philips bluevision which were a lot better than cheapo bulbs in there and the HID is now better still.

The main aim was to get better lighting - which I think I've achieved, they're not quite as bright as I imagined but I think that's got to do more with my power supply than the kit itself. Haven't adjusted where the projector points to so won't know till tommorrow night

but right now I'm very happy.

do you know if that particular kit fits into the stock headlights ? (you mentioned that yours were modified in some certain way which i cannot remember )

[someonestolecc]

My headlights are stock - I just added an extra wire to accomodate H3's - this doesn't really come into play when fitting H1's.

I'd highly recommend to grab this H1 kit from BATMBL at the price he has it to clear. Either that or order a H3 kit.

I got the H1 because I couldn't go past the price and the modification is so minor - it's just melting/filing some of the bulb 'skirt' (which is plastic) to fit into the bumps/shapes in the H3C/H3 cefiro headlight holder.

This isn't too hard but I had to do a bit of trial and error, which, admittedly damaged a part of it but that was because I was scared to shave/melt off too much of the skirt rather than doing too much. It works fine anyway and I know how to do it now

If you bought the kit I'd be happy to help you mod it or modify it for you. It would take me about 10-15mins so you could just bring em round or something.

Cool! thank you very much

(hows the lights anyway? a lot brighter? )

[someonestolecc]

For the moment I'm holding my recommendation - I took the car on the road today and the new lights seem not very bright at all.

I think I'm having issues just because I'm using the H1 kit in the H3 lights - BATMBL suggested something about the placement which affects the focus of the bulbs. I'll take a look at tommorrow or the day after (most probably tommorrow night as I'm dying to see these work).

I'm hoping that it will fix this so I'll let you know

[nissaner]

hope everything works out for you

[someonestolecc]

Ok. It's official BATMBL is a champ heh heh.

He checked out the bulbs for me and saw that the H3 bulb focus points are about 1cm difference from the H1 kit (now that's service!).

So this means for all us cefiro people we will need the H3 kit !!!

I am working it out with him about the kit so I will have my HID working but not for the cruise this weekend. Will update this post when it's all 100%.

Cheers
