The right headlight bulbs????

Hi all been a member for one day and I'm already needing advice.

 

I can't find the right fitment bulbs for my car, it's an 1990 import if that helps. I've taken the old one out and it says ' H3C 12v 55w'

 

Halfords don't do them and I can't find them anywhere else?

 

Can anyone please let me know which ones I need and where to get them from.

 

Cheers guys!!

    H3's are the equivalent in the UK and fit with a little tweaking.

     

    You could also take this opertunity to upgrade to HIDs if you wanted. They make such a difference in driving visibility. £30 will get you a set.

    as lexx says, ditch the filament ones and go for HID... the difference is amazing!!!

     

    the 300zx has projector lenses on the low beam and so perfect for HIDs ...

     

    note: however flashing the high beam (with the lows on) is a bit of a problems as I understand that HIDs don't like being switched on and off (it shortens their life).

    but there is a simple mod (in the Tech section) that will allow for them to stay on when the high is on.

    If you want to go for the full mode it takes a bit more work but will make the high and low totally independent.

    Ditto. And you can buy HID kits for pennies nowadays too...:thumbup:

    I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:

    ok......

     

    You want 35watt, H3, 5000k

     

    You can use 4300k, 5000k, or 6000k. anything higher is too blue and you get no usable light.

     

    I use 5000k and they are a good white, and offer good vision down the road.

    Sorry I missed your call, I'll text you through my bank details in a mo.

     

    I was talking about when you fit H3 HID's into the front fog lights you have to just adapt their own plastic housing to accommodate the extra wiring but the light they give off his amazing.

     

    If you require just normal H3 bulbs for the front fogs look on ebay, you really need to set up a paypal account as ebay will become your best friend.
