done this last week
took about an hour .
i pulled the lenses off and used a heat gun to
melt some old CDs (two together for the main beam and one by itsef for high beam)to the inside of the lens then hit them with
some black spray paint waited till they dryed and then peeled the CDs back off

its already fooled people lol

I wont go into the legal side of things, doesn't look too bad i guess, but you could have at least made them 2 round paras like on 3rd gens/bmw's.

not bad, nice work

the healights work fine
Ahh fair enough then :). Yeh they'll still work, but not as well as they did originally. Not sure if that's legal or not?

if i could find some id do it.
im thinking about getting some parras from a diamante from NZ

i actually think orginal lights look really good on your car, works well as a highlight in junction with your mags

hope the paint won't melt or peel from the heat huh

i used engine paint so it should be ok but it dosnt matter if it does.
it will make me get parras quicker lol

i got a brand new pair of para's on ebay the other day.. for 220
pics on the wknd

Interesting technique... as long as you know they are now unroadworthy... but as you said, you might never get questioned.

woudlnt it have been easier to paint some headlight protectors? and easier removed?

yeah i did that first but i didnt like the look of it

nice pick up on the parras for $220 good deal
ill see if i can snap up a pair but i wanna see how many people are in for the "rssid" offer....

DUCKO - doesnt do anything for me...as i can still see the gleaming white behind it, effort was good, good to see something new, but yeah just doesnt tickle my fancy

when you saw a pic of my car before you said "love the parras" lol

do diamante parras fit with the magna grill???

heres another pic

yeah i know, i was being sarcastic though:P
dont think they fit with the TR grille, i think you might have to PM KB about that one..

hmm.. i have the KS verada headlights..
and they fit fine :)

Why is evryone goin for parras, i think the mod is to easy for these magnas, with mine im putting BMW angel eye headlights on the car go for a more unique look, im getting these ones.

currently i have headlight covers with the 2 circles in it, just chec out the avtar

Nice! Wonder how much those angel eye headlights would cost?

Btw have you got any other pics of your car besides the avatar version?
Would really like to see it! :D

looks alright ducko

maybe a light tint on the indicators or around the edges of em, they stand out a bit too much now that uve darkened the headlights soo much..

and yea u probably shoulda done the tint over the headlight protectors.... less permanent.

looks aiight tho.

do diamante parras fit with the magna grill???


Depends which Diamante multi parabolics you get. If you get the ones that require a chrome surround like I have, then no they wont fit with the magna grille. If you get the ones that are exactly the same as KS verada ones (I got these for TZABOY, which are now in GoTRICE's car...GoTRICE, have a look at your lights and you'll see a sticker that says Diamante on them somewhere) then yes, they will fit no problem at all.

Even if you get the ones that fit with the crome surround, all you have to do is chuck them in the oven and take the glass off...then chuck your lights in the oven to take the glass off...then you put the glass from your lights onto the diamante ones and seal it all back up.

i thought parras had clear plastic lenses where mine have glass with patterns on them
and i didnt have to put mine in the oven to pull the lenses off

hey man if youre interested theres a Mass Order for parras in the other thread by me. We only need 1 more guy to complete the MO and then I can place the order. Check out some others that have already ordered from the last MO with me as their car now looks really wicked cool with them on !

They'll look wicked mate :thumbsup: Are they the HID ones and roughly how much would they cost?

The Jap Diamante lights with the crome surround have the "glass with patterns"...its just that the glass bit is a bit smaller than the Australian ones so as to accomodate the crome surround.

that looks good DUCKO
pitty the 2nd gens didnt come with black surrounds like the 1st then or even white/chomre surround that you could paint to get that dark meangy look

Ah no thats not right at all...Where did you hear that?

They are a different shape all over. They're smaller, the inner (grille side) is a different, more rounded shape. There's no way the glass from the KS paras will fit. I've had them side by side on multiple occasions...there is no way.

KB where did you get your diamante head lights
from and what can i expect to pay for a set??

Because I've done it. The shape of the glass parts are all different, but the back part(the actual lights) are the same size. They do clip on to each other and they will fit with a magna grille. The only way I messed up with that is I found out I actually had the US Diamante headlights instead of the Jap ones. :redface: whoops

where did you get yours from??

I would not suggest getting the US Headlights like I accidentally did. We can't use them in Australia.

why not?? if aussie lenses fit on them they should be ok.

i know the only diffrence between RHD & LHD with toyota cressida headlights
is the lenses

I was told by the auto elec that it was the actual position of the lights when I went in to get them put in. But now that you said that...i think i might try to just get them wired up to check if its all good. You may be right..who knows. Then Ill get back to you and let you know if its possible.

The reason I like these lights better than the Aussie paras is because i think it looks tacky when you have plastic on the paras and the glass indicators...know what i mean? If you use the glass from your headlights with the Diamante lights...it blends with the indicators and looks like it was meant to be.

Fair enough, I still can't see it in my head, but I'll have to take your word for it. :cool:

get the rsiid ones, great quality 2nd hand lights and look good

They'll look wicked mate :thumbsup: Are they the HID ones and roughly how much would they cost?

i might get the 2 peice ones and use the magna indicators after seings this, im not to shure how easie they fit in, im shure they wont slot in but im up for a unique modification, i just picked up M3 E46 Side guard vents, i think that will add a good look, im alos chasing an evo style bonnet vent the center thing..if you know a place that sels them plz give me a shout out or something like that.
