headlight bulbs
« on: Nov 18, 2005, 11:00PM »
are the bulbs/globes from the u12 headlights the same that would go into an s13?  how can i find out the model number/style of bulb i need for a set of s13 lights?

also, with these white lights/xenon's or watever, wats the deal?  are they just plug and play, or do i need that HID kit or watever...?

Majority of (older) nissans take H4 bulbs, so im guessing they would be the same.

As for the super white bulbs, most of them you dont need the conversion. You can buy Phillips ones that cost around $150 and give out the perfect white light. And are plenty bright.

To get the higher power, white light bulbs, don't you need to modify the wires or something because they might be carrying too much power for what their rated at ??

not necessarily the wires. just the relays shit themselves with some globes. I'm not sure how you go about replacing it, but I know my mum had a problem with her car. fried the relay 3 times, so we just switched back to normal globes and theres no problems now. not cool when you're on your l's at night and the lights just cut out. so make sure you get it right the first time.

ummm, correct me if i'm wrong, but the s12 silvia had popup headlights, so no.  i mean anything is possible, but it'd simply not be worth it.

so assuming that you made a typo, and you meant s13 headlights... well... :) :) :)

i'll let you know in a couple of weeks.....  ;D
