Hey hooter not trying to question your post but are you sure its an h3c in the 3 proj? My local shop got a triple in mixed with a dual on a front end conversion, and I took the bulb out to see what kind it had and was suprised to see an H1 of all things... h1's are a little easier to get but you can get both h1's and h3c's from a place in NC called JK Motorsports(866-556-0260 tell em Gray sent you) they can get almost any style h1, or h3c bulb you would want from raybrig and polarg. Thats who I got my raybrig whitesonic h3c bulbs from.. to make sure what style they are get your friend to take the bulb out and if it is long and slim then it is h1, short and fat is h3c. Hope this helps

IIRC H1 is in the high beam side of the projectors H3C is the low beam and in the dual projectors is also the fog light bulb but i don't know about the tri projectors

in my dual projectors h3c is low beam, h3 is high beem and the fog is h3c as well.


on the triple i looked at..it had an h1 low beam, and h3c fog..didn't check the high beam.

Also to those who want more than a blue tinted bulb go with some raybrig whitesonic..they rock..and are super freaking brite

Feel free to question any of my posts. I never said I knew all the answers and if I'm wrong, please call me on it so that we don't spread any misinformation.

I have heard of instances where other bulbs were used in projector lights but the majority of Silvia projector lights I have seen have been H3C.

If you are looking for H3C, I found a couple places online that sell them for a decent price. I havn't tried them myself as I ended up getting bulbs from Optauto but will consider these places next time.

I bought Raybrig bulbs for my triple projectors at the Super Autobacs in Yokohama, Japan. I looked up the bulb in the reference catalog they had there in the store, and the proper size listed for the low beam bulb was.... H1.

I vaguely remember that there was a different size listed for kouki (triple) vs. zenki (dual) projector headlights, so maybe that's why people are finding H3c in their dual projector low beams. I can double check this on my next trip to Super Autobacs.
