I Want Brighter Headlights!

[Chris32]

Anyone have any suggestions to make my headlights brighter? ie what globes to use?

Thanks, Chris

Are the headlights aligned preoperly to begin with?...lol sorry, had to ask

Makes you wonder why Nissan put factory fog lamps on

Id also be intersted in some upgraded headlights....without going xenons etc...

[Chris32]

Yeah, they are alligned ok, just on low-beam they are piss weak, I cant get them up any higher through adjustment either

High-beams are good, low beams are shithouse

If you're using H3Cs get rid of them and get some decent H3s. I couldn't find any decent replacement H3Cs so I put some Philips H3s in and it made a big difference. There still not great lights but there much better then they were.

I think the H3s were also cheaper. From memory Autobahn wanted $25 each ($50 a pair) for crappy H3C replacements and a pair of philips H3s were $40.

I think the ones I just replaced (the low beams) where H1 bulbs

I just got my car from Japan and it has genuine Raybrig globes and they are AWESOME!! I've never seen anything like them. I have them in my parkers and low beams, I ordered some on ebay for my high beams so they all match and the bastard sent my "Raybrigms" that are designed in "JAIPAN"

I belive the genuine Raybrigs are from Japan. Definately worth the few $$$..

[Chris32]

Anyone installed a H1 HID kit on there car?

Thinking of maybe going down this route......

[Bl4cK32]

Becareful of putting a too bright of a globe in the std lens....i remember a mate wanted to do the same with his 4wd spotties, and the sales rep said you can blow the glass if its too hot, or bright....? cant remember exactly...

[Chris32]

Yeah, I have heard of the getting quite hot.

HID kits would be quite hot I'd imagine!

Quite the opposite, Halogen get a lot more warmer than HID.

Xenons are much cooler than hals , xenons are 35 watt hals are 55w .

Your problem is voltage drop, fix that and you will see the light !!!!

HIDs are great. well worth the money. All halogens look dull after you get used to using HIDs If you want brighter lights HIDs are the way to go

[RellikZephyr]

arent HIDs technically illegal for street use??

not complaining just want to know if i get them should i fail to mention it to the boys in blue?

Thanks

It's illegal, but these days most of the BMW/Merc have blue/white HID's from factory so it's slowly becomming normal...

[wrxhoon]

I can assure you they are legal in the cars that come with them stock standard . They have to be self leveling and have washers and then they comply with adr.
