Xenon Hid Lights Conversion For R32

[Modena]

Sir D, I totally agree with you on that one. for some reason, nissan feels that the reflectors are better than projectors. For halogen lighting, they might very well be right.

All the r32s/s14/s13 with the projectors have absolutely shit light output. The r33 reflectors actually have pretty good light output compared to the r32 ones.

PS: My gtr lights are almost here. woohhooo. then comes the hardbit - trying to fit them. I might have an excuse to get gtr front bar, bonnet and possibly even guards just to fit these lights on.

lol

yeah I reckon my halogens light up the road nicely but they just look very old. and u are right, i think Nissan felt let down by projectors... but then why did they release S3 GTR with projectors and charge 2 grand for it??

its crazy how there is no one making aftermarket projectors for R33s... Holden has monaro and SS projecotrs available for like 300 bucks... why doesnt skyline have them for R33s??

I changed my name, but it's still me.

the reason is, because they are HID. a HID globe is almost 300% as bright as a halogen. So even though relative to a reflector, the light may be less/same whatever, they an agfford to lose some light for the more accurate cutoff.

Actually think of Mercs... they have only had projectors for like what? 3-4 years tops? Wtf? They are like a pinacle of German cars! While BMW have had projectors since late 80s!!!

just wondering where can i get the honda euro projectors???

i'm going to do a retrofit too...

shit it's been a while since I've had a look in this thread...

now everyone's on the retro for R32s nice work more the merrier!

mine are all sealed up but not on the car yet - still in the paint shop...

if anyone wants some euro projectors I have a few pairs that I've collected for mates' cars... but CBF doing them lol

looking for angel eyes, where do i get em

Ronin, we need more pics of your headlight.

here are mine. Almost done with my e46 retro.

mounted with screw into the bracket

i will try to find a chrome bezel to put around the projector

cutted the back to make the hole bigger

testing

nice cutoff

Found a chrome bezel at my local hardware store in the plumbing section.

TADAM!!

I cannot believe that it fit perfectly.

Hidplanet are selling some custom made bezel for $43 usd /pair.

and these cost me $5 each

yours look great!

the headlights you're using are the newer model to mine... the plastic surround is slightly different...

I will get some pics when they're on the car (hopefully soon!)

well done!

how are you going to seal off the back?

also would you mind getting a pic of the way you secured the projector to the bracket?

thanks!

i thought yours was newer than mine, since you got a clear lense that goes over the plastic surround.

i used a rubber from under the shifter boot from an old honda car. I cutted to fit the hole.

i have done a DIY thread in this website, you can check out all the pictures.

thanks for your post, it was very helpful to do my retrofit.

[Ronin 09]

shifter boot is a great idea! or CV boot would work too...

just zip tie it on and you're done.

stroke of genius

[Beer Baron]

i wantey but i'm too inept and lazy to make some

[Flash89]

hows this going

[markimak]

thats pretty cool. is it soon to be complete?

wish i ahd as much time on my hands..

mark.

[rickhead]

Mine are nearly finished as well. The euro projectors fit nicely into the nissan support. I was lucky enough to just drill & screw them all together without using JB Weld.

What I need now is the glue to reseal the headlight glass to the plastic body, essendon nissan doesn't have it, & a headlight repairer wants

$110 for each headlight to reseall them, I smell a ripoff .....

Does anyone know where I can get this glue from ???

[CEF11E]

I think sikaflex would work well. they use it to seal everything in marine applications.

my conversion:

Slowest.

Conversion.

Ever.

ooo... ooo... how much? i'm VERY keen to get some projectors into my R34. Everytime i see the euro's driving around at night..... damn!!! best lights ever!! this massively wide arc, and such a sharp cutoff you can see the marks in the fences and trees after they've driven past, burnt... straight through.... awesome

[Matt J]

Mine are made from 2 sets of Audi A6 Bi-Xenon headlights (projectors/Ballasts etc).

As for cost, that's all I paid for, the rest was just my own labour - so it would depend how much you could source the Audi light for?
