JDM Zenki Housing High Beam Bulb. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Just cleaned up my JDM headlights and installed them on my zenki s14 and I dont know what bulb is used for the high beams??? The low beams are the same bulb but JDM housings are split housings and have different housings (internal) for high's and low's. Search wasnt working so the answer would be much appreciated.

isnt it a 9005 or 9006? thats what the US-spec lamps use. german specs use the h3 bulb for high beam.

They may be h3, the stock ones (usdm) didnt fit. The low beams are the same though. 9005 is what I have stock in my high beams now if that helps. Thinking about going with a yellow bulb and then wiring my low's to stay on when my high's are on and using them as fogs. Just lower the aim. Not sure how well they would work, but I have hid's in the lows and never use my highs since it normally turns off the lows when you hit the highs.

So anyone know?

dont use HID retrofit kits in those headlamps, thats crap.

anyway, they should be H3. setup them up like they are supposed to be.

projectRDM · 01-07-2007, 11:53 AM

It's either H1 or H3, don't remember off the top of my head.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I recently bought a set of JDM Zenki headlights, and also want to verify which size bulbs plug into the inner housings?

The headlights I purchased came with bulbs, but they definitely don't look like H3's. Maybe H3C's? Can anyone confirm?

The JDM zenki high beam is different from the USDM one. You cannot buy this bulb at a normal parts store. It looks like a h7 bulb but the h7 is slightly different slots and won't fit.

Yes, I have already come to this conclusion. But I'm trying to find out what the bulb size is?

I have mine connected with female plugs.

Wait...what?

I have the bulbs, and the plugs, which came with the jdm headlights. But one of the bulbs is bad, so I need to know what kind of bulb it is, so I can replace it.

HYPNOTIK · 04-03-2009, 06:03 AM

I learned this shit the hard way. I ordered a set of 9005 bulbs for mine not knowing that USDM and JDM were different, now I have a set of bulbs with new connectors that I can't use. I've takin out my bulbs and tried to find what kind they are and I can't figure it out either. Anybody know?

Why not just take them to an autoparts store and match them up....

Tried doing that online with a standardized bulb guide, but couldn't find anything that matched up, visually.
