gjc5500 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I was thinking about it right now, for us old z owners we have to replace the whole housing. so i think i'm going to make a housing using a honda bulb socket allowing for removal of the bulb itself, also making the price of bulbs cheaper. any thoughts before i do this?

AK-Z Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Search HID. Basically the same idea as what you are thinking of, but without the additional circuitry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjc5500 Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 exactly. i was thinking of using the lights currently in the car, cutting the bulb out, and fiberglassing a new socket in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Already available. Just use H4 headlight housings and bulbs? Look in the driving lights section here http://narva.com.au/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Hella E-Code H4 conversion- best lights you can buy IMO: http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=739 They even make the conversion socket if you dont like wiring: http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=120 That place is great to deal with Ive bought several sets form them for various cars. My Ecode lights with yellowstars on my datsun are ridiculously bright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrandrei Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 H4 removable bulbs would fit perfectly in your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjc5500 Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks for the input. ill prolly just get a set of h4's for my z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejracer Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I have h4's and have done an overkill relay/wiring job, and the 55/100w halogen bulbs. The difference is amazing! I had to up the alternator too as these things pull down 15amps on high. I did a Z specialties 120 amp alternator, which has since failed. Specifics on the wiring: I used the ceramic sockets: http://www.rallylights.com/detail.aspx?ID=1420 Wired them with 10 ga wire. Low beams share 1 10 ga wire/relay and high beams have individual 10ga wires to 2 relays, and then on to the bulbs. If I had to do it again, I would have used 12 ga SXL wire. I wanted the best of the best and went for the 10ga, but the mistake was I used the silver coated uber low resistance wire from either summit or jegs. That wire is impossible to work with. It's very stiff and will not bend, the insulation is sensitive to heat, and it's heavy. All of these upgrades are well worth it imo. The newer H4's are now DOT approved too.
