well i know the new style bi-xenon's are actually all in 1 projector. Basically, when the normal lights are on, the hi-beam is actually on as well, but shielded. But if you need to flick to hi-beam, it's ready to roll as the hi-beam is already on... it's just the shield that moves.

So basically hi-beam and lo-beam is on at the SAME time, it's just the hi-beam is always shielded when not needed.

From the look of your pics, you have 2 projects, 1 hi-beam, 1 lo-beam?

unfortunately i'm not handy enough to be retro-fitting Xenon projectors to my R34 headlights, although i wish i was. I'd prob have to source another set of R34 lights if i did even want to attempt it, as i'd imagine it would take me a while :rant: Would love to to do it though.... does change the front look of the car quite a bit though.

Does honda have a bi-xenon option? or would i have to get some new BMW/Merc/Audi bi-xenon projector?

That is correct, there is a solenoid which operates and moves the shield out of the way giving the full xenon lamp unshielded for full beam! :)

No, I have 4 x Bi-Xenon projectors, as in all 4 on for lo and hi beam!

I chose the Audi units because they are Bi-Xenon and because they are made by Hella and therefore fit most headlight units, the BMW ones don't fit in the R33 headlight units (Bi-Xenons that is). As for the Honda units, I don't know to be honest, it wasn't an option available to me at the time.

that is INSANE!!!!!!!! 4 bi-xenon projectors!!! you MUST put up some night time pics when you get the chance....

you must blind everything within 50km's of your car in a 180 degree arc :cool:

I'll take some pics early Feb when I get home.

They are bright but still road legal on lo beam, on high beam... they are just AWESOME!

Very rarely get other road users complain about the brightness - only time I get flashed is when going up hills etc when the shield cutoff falls or rises into oncoming drivers, oops.

Mine is a hand built 'Top Secret' tuning Japan/HKS 2.8 engine with HKS T04Z and OS Giken 6 speed sequential, all the work (engine fitting, fuelling and tuning) was carried out in the UK by Abbey Motorsport - just shy of 600BHP ATW at the moment.

Thanks, I made the lights because the standard halogen units are vey very poor at night!

Twin turbo Light house........hell not bad at all.... :)

have you guys who put xenon projectors into non-projector headlights (eg. R33) used a trim bezel or make a fibreglass surround?

got some close up pics of them with the lights off?

i take it all you boys from the UK found this thread from here?

Yeah mate followed the link^^^

Never bothered with any bezels, I just gutted the halogen lights and rebuilt them with the Bi-Xenons.

I played around with bezels at the time but they looked much better without them so I left them off.

Not that it would be a massive job to fit bezels though.

I'll post some close up pics when I return to the UK....

well here's how they look on the car.

i reckon they look like S2000 headlights a bit now.

I'm a bit worried that when they were assembled the cut off shield was put in upside down (ie. across the top of the projector instead of at the bottom of the projector), so the light once cut off and reversed by the convex lens allows light at the top and not bottom... (if that makes sense).

Will test them out and see if they've been done right soon...

wegs, seriously do a search man. I've done like a hundred threads on it. It'll be gay. that's it.

ronin, i'm not sure what you mean by havin gthe cut off shield across the top. If it is how I think it'll be, your light will be up, and the cutoff will be down the bottom, so it'll be reversed. THAT IS, if it is mounted how I think it is.

Cheers

MANWHORE,

remember that the lens flips the image upside down; like your eyes (your brain then reverses the signal from your retina so that it looks right-way-up).

So, if the cut-off shield is at the top of the assembly, the light is released at the bottom, then switched upside down by the lens and light will come out the top only.

Similarly, if the cut-off shiled is at the bottom, the light is released at the top, switched by the lens, and only light is released at the bottom (correctly.

I think we've put it together the right way :)

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
