R33 GTR - What Bulbs? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

I know its probs been asked a million times but just want to hear it for myself.

I'm buying a HID kit for my r33 gtr on the dipped beam. just want to confirm the bulbs are H1.

And also what bulb type is it for the side lights?

If anyone can recommend a good place to get the above as well that be great!

Thanks

Alex

Just fitted some low beam 6000K in my 32 and from that experience, I'd suggest you go for a test drive in a car that has HID's.
I think 8000K will be way too blue, I found 6000K certainly is.
The change from high (4000K Xenon Halogen) to low (HID) is massive, takes a while for your eyes to get sorted.
After all that, driving against HID's (in a low car) is like looking at the sun, driving behind them, big disappointment.
