Hella 90mm modules. Your choice of high beam or low beam module. The one that'll be most suitable for our regulations is most likely the H7 bulb low beam module, where the front cover can be twisted to for either right hand or left hand drive.

The H7 module's backing plate can be modified to fit an OEM D2S HID bulb if you're so inclined. The optics are not designed for HID but this site here reckons that the light quality and amount wouldn't be affected by much, except for whatever that has been stated:

Please update us on your progress if you're going forward with this project =)

btw i take it that H7 lighting is better thn H9?

 

[phat7]

pivot makes the sleepy eye controller. i thinks its calle rhu m.

 

[bambino]

yeap you are right but i will not be buying that item instead i will be DIY'in my own switch. hit up youtube and u will know its ALMOST the same as silvias just that u must know which wire is which.

 

[saru-kun]

Apologies for the late reply...

Erm, they're about 3 inches as far as the glass cover's overall diameter is concerned. I'm not sure if it will be too big but if you're concerned with that, Hella makes a model called Micro DE which is 50mm in diameter. Google it.

As for the differences in H7 and H9, I cannot say. I've no experience with either. Maybe the wikipedia article may help you:

Headlamp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Might be a bit of a read, but research before any project always pays off =)

Cheers

 

[bambino]

i did see those looks nice too... thanks for the link man ... will hit it up :)

 

[bambino]

anyone knows where i can get my hands on the headlight wiring diagram? i have been looking ard for a few days now and i cant find any...

 

[bambino]

quick update: i just got my self a 90mm module from hella and is awaiting shipping

 

[saru-kun]

Awesome mate... keep up the progress.

Will be tuning in to this =)

All the best.

Cheers
