Lower it. 1.5 inch should be fine. King Springs or others, Munroe GT Gas
shocks.
Get bigger wheels. 16x7 or 17x8 wheels etc
Put in the K&N Pod Filter and put some cold air ducting to it.
Adjustable fuel pressure regulator. I also suggest you get rid of the t-piece
that joins the front bank exhaust pipe to the rear band exhaust pipe with
the third gen magna ones.
Also, you can have all the red lights at the back light up when on the brake
and when the park/headlights are on. instead of just the corner ones for
brake and plus the two inner ones for park/headlights.
wouldnt that be kinda dangerous? wouldnt it look like you were braking all the time?

Not really, as there is still the brake light on the back ledge or spoiler.
Also the lights still increase / brighten when the brake is pressed, so it doesn't really change that.
Thats based on if you do it the same way Madmagna has his done.

No. There are 6 park/night time lights and 7 brake lights. Plus, the brake
lights are 7x21 watts where the night/park lights are 6x5 watts.
I'll upload a photo of the rear of my car tomorrow.

You'll need the KS Verada boot lid garnish which has the (what is menat
to be the fog light assembly). Got to a wrecker and pick up a few light bolb
holders (those with the combination park/brake ones). The fog light
assembly has a cover on the inside (boot side) that you can remove and
screw the bolb holder onto it and then clip the cover back on. I ran wires
from the main brake lights up the boot arm to the new brake/park lights.
For the inner park lights, I got rid of the bolb holder and replaced them
with the combination bolb holders and spliced the brake wire from the
main brake lights.
Its better if I show it to you guys in person then describe it in writing.
Will try again tonight to take some photos. Haven't got a digital camera. I
am using a dv camcorder which is only 800000 pixels.

HI since I did this conversion before most knew the lights were there i will run you through the process.
Firstly if you want park lights all the way accross then go for it but buy a few spares as most do not read the wattage of the globes just before they ram up your behind.
With mine, I used TN Magna Sedan parklight holders (the metal bit the globe goes in to) in the boot lid. You will need to re shape the mounts slightly but if done properly both will mount up fine.
To clear up what boot lid garnish you need, get either TR Elite, KR xi or any KS ei/xi or TS elite. I am not sure if the other models have the holes in the boot lid however.
The back end of my car has the following.
XX XX Park
XXX X XXX Brake
The inner park lights on the quater panel mounted lights I replaced the small parklight globe with a brake / park light from I believe it was a nissan (2much was with me when I got it, he may know which one lol)
Hope this helps, if you need more tips feel free to PM me.

I'm not sure but I don't think the TS series had elites. If you get the metal
bolb holders from the wreckers off a TR/TS/KR/KS (the combination ones)
you can just screw it in place of the inner park light bulb holder. I did not
have to do any modifications bar splicing the existing lines. The lights were
the first modification I did straight after getting my car (1998). I found the
boot mounted fog light assembly by chance while cleaning the boot. Those
in Adelaide who are interested in doing this mod can PM me and I'll
arrange a time and place to show you guys.

The reason I mention TN - P holders is the mod is a slight bend and most wreckers will not separate the TR/S ones, well over here anyway.
Madmagna will have a wiring diagram on soon and also some pics of the assy dismantled.
My first Verada I did in April 1997 when I purchased it ex fleet.

Hey Vlad, not flamming you or anything , I was just stating when I fitted my first set like you did. This was done after a light tap from behind the panel beater told me it was possable on the xi so I paid a bit extra for the XI garnish for my EI verada......
.......but the point of your last post is????

Nothing, just embarassing my self. :)
BTW. Tried to take some photos with my dv cam but because it was too
dark and it was only a 800k pixel dv cam, it didn't turn out too good. I'll
try later again when its not too dark.
