Hi All,

Im just wondering how is everyoneâ€™s HID going (the GB i need few month back), maybe some photos will be even better.

Don't have any photos with me, but did get them installed last weekend. They look awesome, only problem now is that the fog lights look shite

I do have a problem with a dodgy connection in one of the wires though. Sometimes the light comes on, sometimes it doesn't...

Nope, never really looked into it. Where do I get those from?

My lights are working great, no problems, only thing I have to do is change the park lights and fog lights to match.

same here, they are great, but i still have to change the parkers and the foggers......the only issue is getting them off since the screws are stuffed..

Noticed that LED's are not so great during the day. I have break and reverse LED's, at night it's great but during the day just hope the guy behind you dosn't drive too close.

Chris, two packs of Narva Plus 50s ($20 a pair) and you can't go wrong. Best non-HID solution for an R33 I've seen so far. The reflectors on a R33 post up too much glare unless you start fiddling around with cutoffs (or get a good set of HIDs like BJ Union, but not cheap).

As for parkers, I'll be going to Narva Premium wedges next. I want something not as yellow as most standard bulbs, but at the same time don't want the blueish tinged ones.

Another happy customer here. Had mine for a while now. Still get surprised every now and then by how much better they light up the road. Changed my parkers to "6000k" bulbs, $12 off e-bay (I've got 8000k HID). Looks great at night.

Cheers Johhny.

What am I looking for exactly? White LED parking lights? Is there a specific brand or type of bulb?
