    Mate just got some.H3 fitted straight in , only reason i got H3 not H3c is I knew they would fit and H3c cost more.I went 6000k.Cost $50.50 delivered dam cheap and now i can see at night on low beam.Amazing how street signs glow in the distance also.

    Forgot to say to check i H3 will fit just poke a small srewdriver in the globe hole and if it goes in about 2 inch without hitting anything ( not 100% ) they will fit.H3 are longer globes than H3c and that the only difference as far as i know.

    The difference between H3 & H3C is that the H3 globe has a single wire going to the globe and it "earths" through the body of the light itself.
    The H3C globe has two wires, as it DOES NOT "earth" through the body of the light.

    Barry was correct in saying that the longer HID globe is the correct one to use in both HI & LOW beams when fitting an HID Kit in a Z32(it should also be obvious that the HID globes have a plastic base, and therefore CANNOT "earth" in the manner that an H3 globe does. So The same HID Kit is correct on either Auspec or J-spec fitment).

    I can confirm this, I have one Jspec and one Aus Spec Headlight, and I bought a H3 HID kit. Both fit fine.

    Ok Thnaks all for the information. The supplier wants AUD 10 extra for number 1 and AUD 36 for number two. But enlightened by the information I will just go for the h3 Thanks again all

    normal halogens are 55W low beam (H3C JDM, H3 aussy) and 35W HID (H3 for both JDM and aussy like mentioned above) is more light than that. 55W will be only good for serious blind-the-F-out-of-a-pinging-trucky high beams. if you do night driving like mr zed x and myself the reflection from street signs will be blinding to you from 55W HIDs.

    i have no idea wtf that #2 pic would be for.

    I have 55w hids and they're fine, 300zx are so low that it doesnt matter.
