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


Recommended Posts

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.

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?

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 :woot:

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

I think your old ballast's have died :woot: 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.

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

they are h4 globes and heaps brighter

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.

Your 100% right, i meant to type ''lawls'' not ''laws'' hahaha :mad:

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

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
