man! They are bloody bright! trust me, u won't be needing the highbeam much! but R32 are h4's? are u 100% sure? Cause i've got some vague suspicion they arn't. Anyway, If u want bright, 6000k is 2800lm (roughly) 4700/5000 are 3200lm. If i remember 8000k is less than 2800lm. A standard output of a halogen is 1000lm if i remember correctly. A good example would be lookin at the bmw, merc and stuff. Check the links i posted, they have comparison charts.

Cheers!

Checked mine out - I am H4 (bugger!) & would be after 8000K (I guess) but the question I have is are they really bright on low beam as well?

HID's are the low beam, high beam stays as halogen :P

Cool! Set me up for 1 for sure! When do u estimate we'll order it?

Oh yeah, regarding the h4, as bankids said, it's a motor that retracts and extends for high beam and low beam. They are usually called bixenons... that's why h4's usually cost a little bit more. Wherelse for h1,h3 etc, they are single fillaments and they rely on another bulb for the highbeam, like the r33s

that's the thing confused me alot, coz in everywhere ppl said hid have lower power consumption. normally halogen is 55w but hid is 35w.

but while i installed the hid into my audi a4 burnt my fuse which was 10a, later i put a 15a into the fuse box and everything seems alright now..

my stock headlights were pretty good, but the HID's are excellent. :wub:

so much longer range, and ive got 8000k i think (it was diamond white whatever temperature i bought), looks like daylight! :)

Yo! Diamond White is usually 6000k. When it's quite blueish it's 8000k, then 10000k dark blueish and 12000k is purplish. Daytime white is 4700k to 5300k that's what normal OEM hids come with. But they are the otimal. usually rated at 3200lm. 6000k is 2800lms. But, 2800lm is way more than the standard of about 1000lm. :) hahaha. HID's for a price of $200 is bloody well worth it man.

what is the best possible headlight xenon conversion on the market? i want something very clear , and you can get blue lense also?

h7 or something?

please tell me, i need it for S15

Best possible? You'd be lookin at Hella Ballasts, and philips/osram bulb/globes. Will set u back by a cool 1k. But no one will be able to tell the difference untill u actually show them it's philips and hellas, cause the standard these days are so universal and common that you're looking only at reliability.

Heck, you can buy 5 sets of these for the same price! Nothing gets clearer than HIDs. The bluish tint is not the lense, if u're lookin at lenses, and they tell u it's hid, you're prolly gonna get ripped off cause they are halogen "xenon" convertion where they use relays to pump the wattage to 110W and u get brighter lights. Then they use a cover to cover the bulb to give it the bluish/whitish look. The real xenons are what is being sold on the forum. With a slight bluish tinge, but mostly white, it's 6000k. More bluish is 8000k but a little bit darker, there's a trade off, then it becomes bluish purple 10000k, then purple 12000k.

S15 uses projectors, so look for the projector headblubs, but these days there are universal ones. Rated as D2C. I know there are sellers whom sell the wrong kinda bulb so as to clear their stock. EG: my friend bought projector bulbs for his MR-S. Thou using Philips and Hellas, his car is relatively low, but when i was driving my rav4 back home, i still feel the glare when in front of him. Which got him fined in the end, he had to buy another set of globes for SGD$250 just to be right. LoL. Oh wells.

Come on dude, join this group buy. I'm pretty anxious to get a set here for my r33 so, need to meet the 10 pple quota =E . They are one of the best investment u can make for ur car, esp when driving in dark places, you can see, literally, EVERYTHING.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
