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.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
