anybody use pnp hid kits on there 1pc r34 headlights? thinking about buying hids not sure if i want to do it for the stock headlights or the 1 pc headlights. thanx

 

im very confident it will be a mess. The horrific way the R34 headlights handled the stock bulb and did a terrible job of spreading out and providing like, will be duplicated with an HID. it will bright and shinning right into someones rear view mirror and on their bumper at the same time.

best bet get the R34 and do a retro fit.

 

Can you please explain I don't know what your talking about. What's a retro fit. Also, I was wondering what is the quality of the 1 pc R34 headlights on Ebay and is it worth getting them.

 

quality is fine with the headlights but you need to do some modification to make them fit. Just some messed up measurements I guess in the back of the light that makes things hit. Not a big deal and I don't know if many people even had that issue like the first guy to get them.

A retrofit is putting projectors into your headlights. They offer the best light output possible for auto's and is the best idea for these lights because they put out horrible light distribution. Do some research on it.

 

^^^ retro means, open up the headlights, installing a projector in the lights and re-sealing it... that way, if you use HID's.. it will be crisp with clean lines and no blinding effect..

dang, Cdg2125 beat me to it..

retro fit is where you put projectors in place of the bulbs, i have the r34's and i love them, they are much brighter than stock and i know people say they have a horrible glare but oh well, they light up the road better than any headlights i have had, yes people always flash their lights at me but when i turn mine on bright to show them they are dim, they swerve alittle lol, and they look great!!!

lol everyone explained retro at once lol

 

The fitment on mine was perfect. Only issue I had was that the brackets were wrong, meaning the one that said (L) was actually the right and visa versa. I believe others have had the same issue with the brackets.

 

I have the said kit. The light output is not horrible but sure isnt great. Glare is not bad at all but i would retro . I am in the process of retroing mine now.

 

has anyone used 300zx projectors??

 

300zx projectors Im sure arent of the greatest quality. I've heard the J30's arent that great either.

Pretty much look at the vehicle that originally had them equipped and see the light output and its cut off, that is what you can expect.

 

well if you are going to put in some projectors why not get some good ones and do it right.

 

people always want to do things the cheap way

 

Yea but theres even a right and wrong way to do that too as i am cheap.

 

i have the r34 headlights with a 100k hid kit in them i had to point the bulb down so it wouldn't go into the cars infront of mr rear veiw i like them but i would like to do the retro fit eventually once i have more time on my hands last week of school now so i can't get that. but they look SICK

 

100k were did you get those from?

 

Haha, that would be like black light. Wait, what?
