Look around wreckers in your area or ebay. You might find someone selling a set on here also too. You just gotta be patient and eventually you'll see a set pop-up somewhere

You do realise Para's have a worse light output than your stock lights?
SIGNIFICANTLY worst actually, but they look soo good :D

yeah i knowwww....... thats why i have driven lights... and if i get some phillips lights and put em in the paras it will be about the same (hopefully)
Cool,
Was just making sure as I didnt know if you wanted para's for the look, or if you thought they'de give you better lighting :)

Actually, Diamond and Crystal vision headlamps have worse output then standard hallogens, just the light they output is clearer.
Plus driving lights are illegal in most states :P

I thought paras only had a worse output in the 3rd gens, I thought the 2nd gens were actually and upgrade in light output. I could be wrong but I found that I had better results with the paras than stockies with my 2nd gen. Are 2nd gen stockies better than the paras?
I second that.
I recall reading somewhere that the 2nd Gen paras were right-hand-drive specific, thus they do provide better light casting on the road. In any case the KS Verada literature listed the "multi-parabolic headlights provide up to 80% improved lighting with reduced glare for oncoming drivers"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm led to believe the 3rd Gen paras are generic (seeing as the Australian factory was building for the local and US markets and therefore, easier just to make 1 type of "generic" para headlight).
