where did u get the clear lens?

they are 94-97 honda accord headlights.

they have 3 styles. stock chrome look, R33 style black housing, and these halo angel eye with projector style.

suites the r32 pretty well:)

i'm sorry... that looks ghetto. it doesn't even fill the hole properly. you should get an eyelid and cover that nasty gap... then it'll OK i guess. still doesn't curve the same as the indicator etc.

we don't have to worry bout DOT approvals on headlights here so we don't have to do ridiculous headlight swaps for compliance... thank god.

would be alright if you did a retrofit of the honda rear section and grafted into the front half of the standard r32 headlight.

well if it was a true projector setup, which i doubt at that year model - but it would fill that gap :(

Stole the words from out of my mouth!..

i dont like it when people dont pay attention to detail..

Just dosnt look right..

looks like when they put the Jap Spec lights on the civics and integras.. theres something just not right with it.. I cant put my finger on it

the problem that the R32 owners in canada face is that their headlights need to be DOT approved to register the car (sorta like our ADR's that our cars are complied to meet)... its an american standard, and as the R32 was never sold in the US it doesn't have that marking on the headlight.

Also the angle of the light is slanted so that it doesn't glare onto oncoming drivers on the right... but in canada the oncoming drivers are on the left... again... sucks to be attached to the US.

so unfortunately you HAVE to change your headlights to something DOT approved like ghey honda lights, or S14 240SX headlights or something like that if you wanna keep your car legal. There's a company now that makes Garage Infini style lights over there, which kinda solves the problem.

At least the R33's ahve plastic headlights, so changing em to comply with DOT regs will be easy as.

you be my guest and tell me which headlight to replace it with that was ment for North American Cars... tried and true this was the best fitting amongst GTRCANADA.COM and we should know what we are doing.. we need this to pass our inspection legally.

lol sorry martin, i didn't mean that to come across the way it did. I know you guys have little to no alternative, so I can empathise... but if you're gonna rock that on the street every day I'd get some eyelids made up to blend it better.

I'd say those ones that the company made up using a cover and two round lights to replace the headlight looks better.

I'm sure if you were given the option to run standard lights you wouldn't even think of using accodrd headlights.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
