Victorian R32 Owners, What Have You Done About The Shocking Headlights We Have?

[_Ryan_]

Well, I have had enough of my terrible headlights, standard projectors with good globes, max adjustment and still cant get a decent beam out of them. Ride height being 345mm/345mm I think is my issue(rake). My height is legal, the rake is required until I re-do my suspension set-up.

Has anyone been in the same boat and come up with a legal solution?

Removed the cover and fitted some replacement Narva or similar ADR approved low/hi beam spotties etc.

find some cheap 32 sedan headlights (non projectors, like the n1's but nop grill clips)

they are h4 globes and heaps brighter

My projectors are perfectly fine with what ever random halogen globes. But I have gone to HID now the same with my R31, although not legal.

Your headlight lenses aren't dull are they?

[timr32gts]

yeh my projectors are good, when i first got it they lenses were dull then i got the contacts clean and made them perfect and also made the head lights look alot better

haha my old ones

OP you could go HID's heaps brighter, but not legal

haha the r32's (with the projector bulb headlight design) are known for poor lighting. I ended up buying some super-dooper phillips diamond crystal vision globes. Strongest range from Phillips and do shit all on the streets haha

agh tell me about it, I have to have the reflexes and eyesight of a cat at night

then you have the switches that don't work all the time...

I think your old ballast's have died There sitting in the garage, the 31 and 32 have different HID kits laws.

I pulled the light beam cutoff out of my low beam lights to give more light. Quick and easy mod and works. They still aren't blinding like the Euro car so its ok in my mind. Not legal but isn't to bright to other drivers as they are average headlights to start with.

Thats what I was thinking, just didnt want to create demand by saying all N1 lights are, is sedan lights with a 30$ clip!

can u explain these "different" laws?? I was under the impression that after market HID kids are illigal because although we have projector headlights we dont have

a) self leveling balists

and

b) headlight water squirters

I could be wrong tho, I really really want HID's coz i cant see shit outta the front of my gtr at night.

if theres enough intrest i can get a batch made up for r32 headlights. currently we have s14 and s13 clear headlights which makes a massive imporvement.

5mins, a roller door and a screwdriver should yield great results.... all for $0

[bozodos]

pls explain Trent?

[llama_au]

He's referring to shining the headlights against a surface such as a roller door to align the light beams with a screwdriver.

If only it was that easy

[bozodos]

^ true that, no matter what I do with mine I can't get them to align straight. Even if they were the light is still shithouse

i did exactly that to my 33, made the light look HEAPS nicer and night beam better too,
