New HID's

Post by **maff** » Fri Nov 09, 2007 11:19 am

Brilliant arnt they?

The ones ive got on the 13 are a single bulb and the whole bulb moves when you go high beam, meaning no darkness, but it does make a rather odd dark patch in front of the car, which is slightly disconcerting. Well worth it though, just need to get some brighter sidelights now as they look distinctly yellow against the hids, was thinking led sidelight bulbs might be more white and less yellow, anyone done this?

I have got LED sidelights in mine Matt, they look and perform great.

I am going to have to get on the case of changing my wires about soon so i can have a mega powerfull high beam set up for some night drives!! 8)

Took the car out the other evening and for the first time since i have had it i actually enjoyed night driving!!

Bryan, you are not going to believe this mate but i actually got my kits from the states as the pound is so strong against the dollar at the moment i got two really good quality kits for a good price.

I researched which K rating to go for and in the end i went for 6000K as 8000K would have been a bit too 'blue'. I also went for a upgrade kit which run at 55Watts instead of 35 Watts for a bit more brightness!

I can give you all the details if you wanted a set.

I figured you would be smart and go with the 6000k

They also have a life of 3,000+ hours!! They really do make the car look more agressive at night 8)

You'll have to pm me the details!

I put a set of HID's in my old S14a 200SX and the difference was amazing, I could actually see to drive at night 8)

Cookie on SXOC makes a relay box and wiring kit, to enable the dip beam to stay on when you switch to main beam. It was

Geoff do you know if the 200SX kit will work on the Skyline please?

If you mean the relay kit then yes it should

If you mean the bulbs, then I don't know. The S14 uses H4 bulbs and the S14a uses H1 bulbs.

Ok got this all sorted now, wired a set of one way diodes into the switch wires for the light circuits and the result is great!
Getting to all the wires was a bit tricky but its all good.

No more problems with warm up on the kits as my dipped beam is always on now.
