merckx Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 It depends on what headlights you've got on the car. J spec or J spec facelift or UK spec. Take a bulb out and have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I got 8000k ones and they are awesome just the right amount of blue. The bulbs are totally different to stock, long and thin with a blue bar going along the bottom of the bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 The lower temp bulbs give out more light though!! Still makes a hellova difference to the lights - especially if you're J-spec . I did the dips and fogs but won't do the main beams as there's a delay between switching them on and them coming up to temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 yus 8000kelvin is just about the right sort of colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 anything over 55w is illigal or "off road use only" isnt it afaik? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 anything over 55w is illigal or "off road use only" isnt it afaik? well the stock J spec main beams are 65w and the fogs are 55w, but i dont think that the wattage of the bulbs is in the MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timalbert Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 yea,i have a j spec.there was a kit on ebay which looks and sounds pretty good.does mine have an h4 bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I have HIDs on two of my Supras. I would definitely advise you to go for 4200k or 4500K ones - the higher k ones like 6000k or 8000k just look 'ricer' and ghey. The nearer to 4200k you can get, the more light they put out. The higher K ones are more blue or purple looking than white and look very max-power. Unless that's the look you want of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 hya,was going to order a hid kit for the supra.just wanted to know wot the bulb size were? any body with pics.was looking at a 6000 setup If you have j-spec lights get 9005/HB3 for the dip beam, if you have UK glass headlights get 9006/HB4 for the dipped beam. Be very careful which kit you buy, there are some very cheap, poor quality kits out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 very hard to find the 4200 and 4500 anymore.....lowest I could find was 5000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I see people have said that they have put these in there fogs, is there any modifications needed to the back of the lights to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uk-rich Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 the bulbs sit in the same position (with the locating groove and tab) you just need to make room for the cable in the rubber dust cap, it will all be clear when you look at it make sure you get the correct fitment of bulb, uk's are different to j specs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSZ Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I had no problems at all - both sets took about 1hr to fit and mostof that time was spent checking and re-checking LOL. The set I have in my dips have been there for about 5months now with no issues at all. Sooooo much better and I had the PIAA Extreme White bulbs (£70 a pair!!) fited in all my lights :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin_a Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 i acquired the TRD ones when i got the car, still not fitted though. Apparently the bulbs are something silly expensive. is this the case or will other things fit? Just checking as it sounds like they'll have to be some sort of J spec bulb although fitting could be easy enough... m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
