Changing the headlights in any way on these cars is a crime.

i have been looking for suitable ones for a while and so far its a case of blank off the hole and mount some led strips (white-reverse/orange-blinker/red-stop/red-tail), make sure you have red reflectors, and wire it up properly.

r32, own made led, and i was thinking even supra tails might be made to work, bottom line is if you can make it fit and its got all legal requirements your imagination ( and sense of good taste - of which i have none LOL!!! ) is the limiting factor.

you and the lemon were made for each other benny rofl

nah, the R32 lights don't look too bad, but shit, why would you bother when the stock lights look better? If my stock lights were broken, and i was having a hard time getting my hands on a decent pair, then, and only then, would i consider using readily available r32 lights for a conversion..

i don't see the appeal in considering them to be an 'upgrade' mod..
