We dedicated all into one thread, let me know if you run into any problems.

Basically is better to have extra adaptors to avoid cutting the original wiring but is all up to you.

Cheers!

I posted a message at www.autoparts.com.au, had a wreckers over western subs way reply to me within 12 hours telln me he had a pair etc etc etc and bobs ya uncle.... got me some!!

FTIW- when you post the message it gets sent to any wreckers or so on that have joined this group, gets sent around aus, and yeah if any of them can help, they'll send you an email..

(oh thats with trade of our standard magna lights as well, thought id mention that)

But still was an awesome find... they were exactly what we wanted... single piece etc etc

Hi Dee, I will try and check it for you. I know they are for Eddie's. But I am sure there wasn't any the last time I checked and may have one piece ones if so.

The name of the wreckers is EKW WRECKERS, they are on EMU RD maidstone. (they reckon they are footscray nth or something but in the melways its maidstone.*shrugs*)

Do a search next time? It is about $450 from wreckers +- up to their mood to charge and there are differences as there are one piece paras and two pieces. a one piece one would be more costly usually.

Original cost would add up $450 per side.

I remember when I first got my magna and went to mitsubishi parts n services and they quoted me just over 1 grand per head light...

I had them double check what they where telling me and the guy showed me on the screen, I couldn't believe it!

Parras have come down a fair bit in price compared to 2 and a bit years ago

Ivan, all Mits parts should try and ask me in advanace as I know one of the mechs in fact team very well and was quoted $450 each. I even helped another member to get the KH Xi grille at $179 or $185 within that range when he was getting quoted elsewhere for $210!

Different places offer different pricing sad to say. Not to mention, they all have different knowledge about Magnas. When you ask for Cup Holder Centre Console to fit a TE/F it will not occur to them that the TJ ones fit for example.

Sorry to say, as cool as they look, they aren't very good at night. My AWD came with them, I love the look, but I had to put osram silverstars in to be able to see just adequately at night. good on you though, thats cheap!
