SA63 popup headlight problem Tue, 03 June 2003 05:42 Go to next message
The Regular light doesn't work, hi-beam does.
It's not the fuse, so it must be an earth problem or the bulb is blown.

Anyone know what kind of bulbs are in these before i take it apart, and about how much one would cost? Any advice would be great.

I'm at work all week, so i don't have much spare daylight to work with.

Bulb's blown.

If it's like the RA60 (and it should be), they're H4 60/55W bulbs.

For what it's worth. I've got some Opti Blue Platinum H4 12V 100/90W Xenon discharge bulbs.
They work sweet. Ultra bright, and white light is soooOOooo much better than yellow...

I bought the pair for $25 from Mekong Spares in Canley Vale, NSW.

Thanks,

They look white to me, but i might look at replacing both with something better. I going to sell soon anyway.

Celicamad85,

Danny Moderates these forums with the support of the entire Toymods Board. Not yesterday or any other day has he ever abused his position or vaguely been a "power tripper" as you so pathetically called him.

If it were not for people such as you continuing to polute the threads on these forums he wouldn't have to moderate anything at all.

The Tech and Conversions section is for technical advice and discussions. Its not for you or anyone else to dribble shit in !

so if i want to talk about putting a 351 into a ma60 supra thats ok ?....

but if i say anything about coloured bulbs in a thread about changing bulbs i must be a fuckhead

you 'moderators' will sleep well tonight if you tell somebody not to voice their opinion or how about you just delete the thread like the one that was in the 'membership and feeback section' where i offered to help out and donate stickers to toymods...now i wonder why do i ever bother when the only people i would be helping is you guys then maybe you could have bought a faster computer with all the money you saved then youd be able to censor what people have to say and delete threads way faster

congratulations

i would have to agree with max that the new style "ultra" white light bulbs give a far better light, with less glare and better definition. And i don't really see how they are coloured in any way. Confused

There is a trade off. To get white light, the bulbs have to have coloured filters on them, which reduces output.

Just like passive tone controls, if that makes sense to anyone.

I have bulbs like Nark's, and i think they are brighter than stock... but i bet the same bulbs (they are much higher watttage than stock) without the filters would be heaps brighter!Interestingly, i thought that they sucked when i first got them but after a few days they seemed to 'bed in'. Very weird. The idea is that a white light is more like natural daylight and is less fatiguing, but there is a lot of wank and marketing bullshit with 'bright white' bulbs, you have to be aware of what is going on. You won't get a HID lighting system just by changeing globes!

After a point in getting higher in the spectrum, ultrawhite or blue or whatever actually gets detrimental.Another trade off is that white light isn't as good in the wet, I guess the reasoning is the same that foglights are very obviously yellow.
