have any of you guys ever seen altezza lights for skylines?

im putting in projector lenses for my headlights, but its going to be a manual job, of using either vx commodore lenses or another kind. i dont want the lense to be too small as the larger the gap around will have to be. should make the xenon's look twice as good and light up more road than street signs and ambo's, but i can see a cop from 500m away.

apparently r33 series 2 GTR had xenon lights had the projector, but they're hard to come buy at a decent price, e.g. 400+ per light.

any comments would be appreciated.

and do you think they would look any good?

VIVA Garage have some clear tail lights, not too sure on the price, thinking about $800, havn't seen too many sets of them around! I would buy them but i have better mods to worry about than lights(the GO GO GO GO fast bits).

well the first thing people notice is with their eyes and ears so i thought cosmetics would be a good start.

also may make the car look newer, as the lights make the car look aged.

Well i picked up a right side damaged holden headlight from claridge, and am in the process of fitting the projector lense to the Skyline headlight. will post some picks up along the way.

need to order another HID set as the Holden takes a H11 globe.

so when they arrive, its all a matter of pulling apart the nissan headlight, using the existing silver surround of the holden lense and cutting it to fit into the low-beam of each headlight. its a pretty similar fit so should look good.

ive started the right side and ill let you know how it goes.

well its only labour. im using holden vy series lights and basically cutting the surround down to size. then u melt your healidht, unscrew the existing surround and fit this one in with a few cuts.

you could do it with any projector lense headlight, but it depends how neat u want it.

im getting the parts for free from a crash repair, and it looks like a 100grand merc when its at a set of lights.

replacement cost of the holden headlights is 360 each to buy so depends how much u want it, otherwise u have to wait for a crash repairer to get some. im still waiting for the left side to finish.

but u do need H11 globes @ 45 each otherwise a H11 HID kit at around 350-400

    • Oh bugger ! Your right ! Good old hydrogen sulfide. Takes me back to the good old school days ! 
    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless   
    • Oh wow, it's easy to forget how cheap these can be. Probably the cheapest way to travel. Though people in cars here tend to be morons and I would not feel very safe. Were scooters ever big in Australia? It used to be the thing growing up in Europe ~20 years ago. 50/70/125ccm Peugeot or Yamaha and some others. Utterly obnoxious Polini race exhausts. Kick stands that slant as much as possible. So loud. So much noise for really not moving very fast at all. But it felt cool at the time. Not sure where I'm going with this, but there is an aftermarket for mopeds! Though I'd have pictured you more for a Goldwing kind of guy after growing out of the Harley.
    • You need to know I am sorry for this.  
    • As the MX5 isn't apparently "manly" enough, and I need something for runs to the local shops, and also take to my part time job at the salon, basically I can keep the MX5 away from car parks and stuff......like "flying lockers", I was wondering what I could buy to fix this issue LOL, I pick up a new Yamaha 125 Delight this arvo from Trooper Lu, basically a R1 that you can fit a slab of beer on between your feet, also, it was $29400 cheaper than a R1, so actually it's 2 x better than a R1
