XENON HID 6000K/8000K CONVERSION KIT H3 H7 H1 9006 - $135.00

Hmmm, ya.....OK??????

I'm not sure what is meant by that statement "can" fit. The H3 and H3C globes have different length filaments. Therefore the light emitted from the H3 globe will be at a different focal length than the H3C. Basic optic principals would deduce that the light pattern created by this offset would be severly squewed. This translates into a less than optimal light pattern, and a less than optimal cutt-off pattern and extreme refraction and scattering of the light pattern. Sure there will be a greater amount of light produced, but it will not be focused correctly and thereby not be an effective means of a light upgrade.


At this point I'm afraid I'll have to pass unless there is someone that can explain that basic optics theories can be maintained by converting from H3 to H3C. Note, it's not simply finding compatability of a globe base but it's the overall length and size of the filament itself that's the issue. I guess I need to know from others that have successfully converted from H3C to H3 (even with halogen bulbs/globes) if there was a noticeable beam pattern change because of the different length of the filament and was this same change (effects) carried over to the HID conversion as well. Everything being equal, I would say it would but would appreciate feedback from those who have gone this route. Also please confirm that there is significant difference in filament length between the H3C and H3 globe.
Thanks,

John

 

A picture is worth a thousand words.

This picture may explain the difference I was talking about. Clearly, there's an extreme difference in filament length between the H3 and H3C. As well, a completely different type of base.

 

i found this from the skyline

have a look the post #5, he show all the photo !

 

Thank you for the link to the Skyline thread. Although it appears the H3 globe is a direct fit into the H3C socket (which is good) it still doesn't address the end result in the Z projector. Different type and size projectors have different focal lengths. Now unless the Skyline projector is the same size as the Z's then it's a moot point. The Skyline thread also addresses the need for some to add an extra ground wire. I don't know what that's all about.

 

the H3 halogen: you have one + power to connect to the bulb, and the - are connect to the headlight housing.

H3C halogen: you see the + & - power cable is connect to the bulb.

all the halogen bulb need + & - power, but the H3 halogen get the - from the headlight housing. H3C both + & - connect to the bulb.

all the HID need + & -, i did compare the H3 H3C and the H3 HID, all the spot that produce light are same spot.

i fited one of member in aus300zx, he got a jspec z too. there is no problem to fit on.

 

do you have a 4300 kit for the main lights? and how long are the wires that lead 2 the ballasts?

 

the cable around 50cm i think

sorry i dont have any 4300k, only have 6000 n 8000. the 6000 looks pure white.

 

any chance of getting a 4300 kit in mate?

 

simmo i got 6000k through this guy - more than happy with them.
can show them to you one night if your keen.

 

pm send

 

High beams

Love the low beams. Those with highs too , What are your thoughts of them. Should I upgrade them too ? cbzx.:zlove:

 

If you like the prospect of daylight at night time, then go for it. Especially if you do my headlight wiring mod to keep the lows on

I have 6000k Lows and 5000k highs.

 

I had new combination for my car.


i put 6000k in lo beam

15000k in hi beam

3000k in fog light

all look differernt colors

 

Im Toasted H3 8000k paid and posted

 

NOW 4300k HID kit can be order. took around 1.5 - 2 week to arrive

 

let me know when u get the 4300k in,ill take a set :zlove: :zlove:

 

Set of H1 + set of H3 Payment sent (PM sent also)

Incase your wondering Simon, H1 for Tammy's Skyline (Low beam) and H3 for my Foggies. PEX = 100% HID

 

you hid junky :biggrin: ,my fogs stay on with my headlights,not sure if it is a jap spec thing,but i think ill stay clear of hid fogs
Its one thing them hearing me coming ,another seeing me as well :zlove:

 

no, it's not a J-Spec thing
There's no point having Fogs coming on with headlights, as that would by definition be no good for driving in fog .
Your Zed has been re-wired

 

thats illegal simon
