I have a TF magna and was wondering if the front tinted lights that the veada has would fit the TF and the same with the set of the rear lights that the verada has?can you buy them from mitsubishi and with some work fit them to a TF. Also is it possible to have a dual exhaust setup on a magna not just a dual tip? Thanks

By the tinted headlights, you mean the quad parabolics. I believe they can
be put into the magna as the TJ Magna sports etc have them as well. The
rear ones are different (at least the ones on the boot lid are). The ones on
the body itself can be swapped over but you'd need the verada boot lid for
the lights on the boot lid.

Dual exhausts on Magnas are possible but expensive. It means you'll need
two cats, two resonators and two mufflers and two sets of piping. Pay
D&T Exhaust a visit http://www.dtperformance.com.au/. They've
done dual exhausts for holdens and also have done quite a few magnas.

the headlights is answered above - the dual zorsts - well the cost can be reduced depending on how you want to have the exhaust - you can split it from the cat back and run 2 resonators, and 2 mufflers, or split it after the resonator and only 1 resonator and 2 mufflers.

But yeah - speak to an exhaust bloke to find out first hand their ways of doing it - and yeah expect a few hundred bucks depending on the mufflers!!

Thanks for the help with the lights. thats what i thought with the rear lights is that you have to get another boot lid and all will be good. Can you buy the rear boot lid and front lights from a mitsubishi dealer though and how much would they be likely to cost a few million i suppose? thanks for the help about the exhuast ill have a look at D&T Exhaust.

Your all so friendly people here... and smart

Try a few wreckers - there is a guy on here who can get you the headlights - about $450 for the pair i think the going rate is.

Also - the boot - the wreckers would be the best bet - though it won't be cheap - not at all

and mitsu direct will be even more dear

I changed to a KH Verada rear on my TH Sports...
you will need the corner lights.. and the midde two lights... and the boot garnish that has a cut out section for the boot lights.
On the KH ones they area a amaller thinner light and they have a small section of garnish above the light... the KE-KF ones have a higher and straighter rear light and there is no garnish above the boot lights.
I like the KH ones the best... looks great.
To fit the corner lights is a straight swap.
To fit the middle lights I had to cut out a BEAN shaped setion behind were the boot lights sit.. so that the back of the lights can mount throught the lid.
I did it with a jig saw and a grinder... (took about 2 hourts to get it neat.)
I found the best way of doing it was to use the foam spaer off the back of the lights as the template... that way I was cutting only where it was needed.
you will have to drill a couple of holes and also you will need alot of little nuts... hopefully you get these with the rear kit when you get it from the wreckers.. (GOOD LUCK FIND A SET!!!! I searched for 3 mths trying to find a set... let alone a KH set!)
Lat thing you will need to do is run some cable to light up the Reverse, Park Lights and the Brake light. A total of four wires need to be run.

I ran mine down the hing on the drivers side and spliced it into the origional wiring harness near the back of the wheel arch.... It is a good idea to allow a small length of cables from each light then attach a 4way plug... do this for both lights... this way you can remove the lights when needed and you dont have to cut and rejoin all the wires each time!

I have pictures of the install if you need any further help... email me.

I help a local FibreGlass place to build the front bar... based on a 200SX Trial bar.
The rear wing was bought from a local shop.
the bonnet was half of a EVO bonnet from SSV and then I joined it and mucked around withit to get it to fit ok on the Magna Bonnet.

Very Nice.I reckon Unique mods like you have done small or big is what really makes the car it stands out and no one else has it. Very Good
