Silvia Headlight Question (not dumb)

[Shift_Oversteer]

From what I understand, the s13 dual projector headlights use an H3C bulb for the high and low beams. These things are freakin hard to find and are expensive, so I was wondering if the more common H3 bulb would work. Thanks

You've got to pay to play!

ebay it's about $30 bucks... You paid much more than that for your silvia conversion, what's another $30?

You should, in fact, search this one up in the archives, it has been discussed A LOT in the past, like a year and a half ago. I think you can use the H7 bulbs and trim the base someway to make them fit, and they work just fine. I know the thread is in here somewhere...

just make a custom H3c bulb like i did. go buy a H3 bulb and put a ground wire on the metal cirlce plate.
