Hey guys I'm having major trouble with r34 headlights, nothing is lining up.

 

Pics? You have to install those L brackets first then the headlights attach to that. Do you have the brackets?

 

There are writeups on this OP.

 

I just recently installed mine, my brackets were mislabeled. The L goes on the right and R goes on the left.

If you are stuck I can snap a few pictures for you of how mine are installed.

 

I was just going to post this.

 

^ me to.

 

link?

 

That would be helpful! Thanks.

 

Also how did you guys get the connectors to fit tightly? It seems on the pair I have the blue connector doesn't fit tight with the stock brown one, as If it's loose.

 

Ziptie

 

It should just snap right in. That's the easy part

 

IIRC, there are no 'snaps'. You just push the connectors together. Mine were loose too.

 

You could just put some high temp sealant or headlight sealant on the connectors to fix the problem

My R34s I installed last fall didn't snap so I also used zip ties. As mentioned the L brackets are reversed labelled. I had to drill the bracket holes and inner mounting holes wider along with inserting a few washers for spacing to get the R34s to fit snug. To get the grille mounted I had to cut and drill the plastic mounting spots on the R34s.

 

Okay guys thanks for all the input regarding this install. I'll try my best to put these things on, which I bought from Ebay. So if all fails I shall return them and get a more official pair. Most likely from Custom Maxima or other sites rather than Ebay. I shall post a few pics along the way.

There's no sense in returning them since they're all from the same manufacturer.

You install the brackets on the car first, then install the headlights..

 

those headlights look really nice, are they safe for night driving? overall safe? Dont want to blind other drivers.

how much were they for both headlights?

 

As is, their output sucks.

Usually $130-$150 shipped.

 

quite cheap, U think u recommend them?

 

Only for looks.
Not safe for night driving IMO.

If you have money, get those and get them retrofitted for projectors.

 

Light output really sucks. They do look good but not worth the hassle.

 

 

I notice I have some gaps dispite my car being in a accident prior to the install. How did you guys get them to sit flush along the fenders?

 

Since I had my accident my center bracket is bent. I have a new one but because of the snow in New England I can't install it, so my R34's don't sit flush.

 

As I mentioned earlier I drilled wider mounting holes, inserted washers for spacing, and also bent back the L bracket.

To increase the light output I replaced the cheap 9006s that came with the R34s with Slvania Xtravision 9006 bulbs. They're much brighter.

 

So I might have to modify the L brackets then. The Ziptie idea worked out. I'm gonna have another go at it later on today. The bulbs that come included really do suck!

 

I recommend them for retrofitting only.

I have a similar gap on my passenger side. I just let it be.

 

 

 

Lol. Nonetheless the lights look hot. I drove around and the Honda Ricers started revving at me.

 

Oh, that's bragging rights right there.

 

Lol. You know that moment you pull up on a stock 4th Gen.

 

I see they look very good.. but for safety, i cant get them lol if they were safe enough, i would buy them in a heartbeat! 130$ for a set.. cant hate on that.

 

Thats why you buy them, then either:


1: Swap the bulb for better light output
2: Do a baby retofit with HID conversion
3: Let chrisman work his magic and make your sh*t hot.





that is if you wanna be all


if not feel free to keep your stock ish.

 

 

Output isn't too bad since I have fogs. But I'm interested in Retro fitting them. Who on the org does it?

 

hey... don't know if anyone told you... your headlights are on....

 

really? I just said it, and he has amazingly enough come out of his winter hibernation and been on THIS thread...


GOT RETROFIT?
