Hi All,

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...

you know you can change the parkers to White LED.... there are pretty bright..... i have them for the break lights looks much better than normal bulbs

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

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?
