jon beer Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Hi there, a while since i've been on here now, has anyone upgraded the Zenon 2 headlight bulbs for something either whiter, or bluer and brighter?? Any information would be appreciated, thanks, (i've finally got my "19 wheels and spacers on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samu23 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 M13KYF are these bulbs a direct swap, do you need to change ballasts or just the bulbs? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/D2R-8000K-HID-Xenon-Light-2-Replacement-Bulbs-Set-8K-/220458723639?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item33545d2937 Sorry for the hijack!

jon beer Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 Thanks guys for your advice, i'll look into it more deeply now, they seem to be a hell of a price, mind you!! I plan to post a few pics of mine more or less finished, if it stops raining long enough to get a few decent pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I spotted these from the same seller: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350Z-HID-Xenon-2-Bulbs-Set-D2S-5000K-/220483967764?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3355de5b14 I don't like the really blue lights, just white is fine but how come they are super cheap ? I thought they were usually around £60 for a pair ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Has anyone bought those bulbs from that ebay seller ? Any thoughts on them ? I may give them a punt this week. D2R for my car (2004) - D2S (2006 iirc) Edited January 21, 2013 by RobPhoboS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 They should be here in a day or so, and I'll TRY to photograph the before/after. I thought it was worth a punt, as £20 for a pair compared to £120 ! is worth a shot imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubapics Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It will be interesting to see how they perform and for how long. I've bought cheap replacement projector bulbs that last weeks not years. You get what you pay or buy it cheap buy it twice as they say.

RobPhoboS Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 We'll see what happens, I just refuse to spend £££'s on frigging light bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPhoboS Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Fitted this afternoon, I'll try them out properly this evening - report back later (need some new wheel arch rivets/retainers!)

RobPhoboS Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 A little whiter but no better/worse in terms of visibility. However, why is it the jap cars I've owned have horrendous headlight visibility ? I think I need to adjust the throw of the beam as it's quite short.
