Need new lights for the Kouki... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So, one of my projectors is out and I took a look at it to see how to remove the bulb and I am totally clueless on how to do so. If someone could explain to me how this is done then that would be a lot of help!

I don't want to go with really expensive HID's but some nice white bulbs would be nice. Anyone know of a website I can get them from. My friend has white bulbs in his 3000gt from Eurodezigns.com they were 50$ for both the high and low beams and they are so bright. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!

To take out the bulb, you remove the cap, disconnect electrical connector going to the bulb, pinch the clip so that you can move it inorder to have the bulb base come out.

I know that was a long sentence...but I hope it makes sense. It's really not that difficult.

I can't help you on the white bulbs....I have HID retrofit.

Thanks for the help! I'll try it later today. How much did you pay for HIDs?

white kouki's ftw

haha

Itll help if you take the headlight off so you can get a good look inside it.

240sx_sr20det · 09-22-2007, 12:36 PM

That's kind of what I figured, but I didn't know if it would be a hassle or not. Looks to only be a few bolts though. Thanks!

Scouring for bits left and right, but it came to under $400.

Not too many since I have a crappy camera...

240sx_sr20det · 09-22-2007, 03:41 PM

Oh they seem real bright. Maybe I'll just do it the right way the first time and go with HID's. Thanks for the pics.

If you cant even change your damn bulbs, please dont attemp to install HID, youll set your car on fire...

*ziptiedae86* · 09-22-2007, 10:28 PM

^^lol true.

the hardest part (if you could say that) would be to figure out how the clip goes back on to secure the bulb in place. just look at your other headlight if you get lost and you should be able to figure it out.

but yeah pretty much undo the clip, twist out the bulb, swap out with new one, and put everything back. done.

240sx_sr20det · 09-22-2007, 11:19 PM

Haha, I'm not retarded here guys. When I checked it out all I saw was two wires running into something that looked like it couldn't be taken out, so I was like wtf? But thanks for your help. I'll try not to set my car on fire...

*fliprayzin240sx* · 09-23-2007, 04:37 PM

Honestly, if your gonna change bulbs on the passenger side, pop the whole assembly off. Its not that hard. Pop off the corner light by taking the screw off on top and pull it off. Take the grill off, and pop the 2 screws there and the 2 nuts in the corner behind the corner lights. That way you have all the accessibility you could ever need on your head lights.

Your wisdom is much appreciated.
