P.S. Haven't worked out how to get the picture to show up in the forums.

I think these lights would look 1000000000x better if they didnt have that stupid little parker at the top.

Top looking lights.

We have H4's for the headlights. What globes can we use for the parkers ?

Lookin' good mate, but any chance of a shot further away from the car? Just so we can see a complete shot of the front of the car to see how the lights influence the look. My car is black also (assuming yours is by the pic) and I've been looking into getting these headlights since they came out.

I absolutely agree with ya b2tf, they would look a LOT better without that ****y little parker. I wonder if it'd be possible to somehow remove the light assembly from its front glass case, and put a piece of black cardboard or plastic over that particular light. It'd probably take a lot of screwing around, but it might improve the look of the lights and depending on how you did it, might give that 'angel eyes' look when the parkers were turned on.

yeah - that park light put me off those headlights when they were first released. spose you could pull it apart, remove the headlight bezel, selleys 'knead-it' in the hole, sand it smooth, prime and paint and should look better. then you would have to re-locate the park lights somewhere else... but yes - a wider picture!

you could always use a parker like others use a driving light/foglight especially if you have the TS50 type front bar... just wire it up as parkers instead of an individual switch

Ok wider shot. But you'll have to excuse the dirt. Its due for a wash tomorrow.

I quite like the parkers myself. I'm sure theres nothing you can undo to get the plastic off. I needed to cut the parker lights wires and use bullet connectors for them, because my car didn't have the connection the new lights did. The only thing you don't get with them are indicators, so I had to amber dye the old globs.

And someone needs to walk me through how to make picutres show up in the forum rather than linking everything.

I bumped my old post back up so you can see shots further away... my car is monsoon blue, but looks black in the pics... (more shots on page 2 also)

just put a LED in the park lights. any colour would look cool but only white is legal.

bonk182 · 23-12-2006, 10:05 AM

you can get the plastic off - you need to heat up the silicon/glue around the outer edges either in the ove, in front of a heater, or with a heatgun... theres a few threads here and tutorials on AUfalc. have a search if your keen. looks great anyway.
