2 pece looks way better coz its front is glass where as the 1 piece is a whole light that is joined to the indicator and have a plastic front. price will depand on where u get it from and how old or new they are. here in Melbourne theres a wreckers that deals alot wit Mitsi cars (Imlachs) and the do post interstate if u want. i got quoted $500 for a pair of 2piece parras for my car but sum how they only charged me $360. heres a link to a thread i did wit the parras in my car. these are 2piece

and heres a link to [THUGDOUT] thread with pics of his car. his car has the 1piece.

Dont forget to look at a few jap import wreckers..

Front cuts of later model (96 or so onwards) diamantes have the 1 piece parabolic headlights on all models, and tend to be sold cheaper than from mitsu wreckers...

Besides wreckers there are actually places that recondition headlights. I've put them on repaired cars at work (i'm in smash repairs), Insurance companies love them as they are as good as new at nowhere near the price. I don't know of any in brissy as I'm in sydney, you could try asking some smash repair places up your way if you cant find any in the phone book. Make sure you get ones from a TJ VR/VRX or AWD as the verada ones don't have a park light in them.(veradas have their park lights in the front bar).

awesom thanks mate that sounds awesom, i will be phoning around since im not feelin too good at spending $500 on a pair of headlights but if i can get em cheaper definately, also another q, how do u get the light globes out of the orignal headlights, there is a black clip inside a rubber boot and god knows how to get that clip off, i mite be a very simple person and just have extremly unko hands or there mite be a trick, im not realy sure.
