I searched and searched for a writeup on this sort of thing with no results,I hope this helps some of you as I did for me. I was getting sick of trying to find H3c bulbs for my Brick headlights,probably like alot of brick headlight owners.So I started to compare bulbs, sure enough a regular H3 bulb fit right in. Now the H3 bulb only has one wire off it,compared to the H3c which has two. Being it was only a ground wire I got the idea of just takeing a 12in section of 16guage wire and wire stripin a 1in section off an putting it between the bulb an the headlight bulb housing, clasping the bulb in an holding the wire in place making the headlight ground needed to ground the H3 bulb. Then all I did was wire the H3 bulb to the factory nissan H4 high beams..
If You wanna have SUPER YELLOW high beams I recomend #15995
PIAA H-3 Super Plasma GT-X bulbs. I have them In now with the SPW Yellow H4 bulbs an LOVE IT.

Ground wire in front of the bulb so the it gets held in with the bulb

Then just clasp the bulb in an :eek3d: its grounded, this headlight didnt have the clasp to hold the bulb didnt feel light pulling my headlight out just for a photo.

You should really try to find a way to solder that wire

you guys realize that that asshole, mike @ clearcorners has a pretty good stock of h3c bulbs.... but they're not 55w, they're the rare competition 85w version that are japanese made (not like that super plasma blue chinese made pile of crap you posted)..

but yeah, if you run a wiring harness and want to get as much light out of your shitty RHD headlights... ive got a small stash of these bulbs left in stock!

wow, how lucky.... i wish i had h3c RHD halogen headlights. theyre so fucking superior that guys with bi-xenon 350z's will envy you

ps: horrible idea in not securing that ground wire PROPERLY. friction fit = friction fail

Ya, I heard that guy mike doesn't really know what he's talking about when it comes to lighting though. Pretty much just good for bulbs.. :rofl::rofl:

When the day comes that I buy a coupe, and do the conversion, you'll definitely be the guy I hit up for bulbs.

I'll stick to my hatch for now though.
