DYLAN8 01 Bora

[dylan8]

Now they have been officially out on display...
fitted up my genuine rhd bora xenon lights with some careful planning and assistance from thestu.
Purchased these a while back but had a few wiring/power issues do to missing the ballasts, originally planned to fit them with glasses lenses at the same time but gave up on waiting to find some quality ones.
Pretty happy with the result, still need to wire up the restat so I can use my manual adjuster.
Do have the sensors and washers and loom to go with, but think ill pass on installing as they are prone to breaking/failing.

Still on the hunt for some genuine bora fog lights as the factory xenons come with dual indicators.
And some headlight covers to give them some extra protection.

First picture of many to come, also managed to sneak in a quick bit of attention to to the paint thanks to silverdub, and fitted up some new wheels. Photo by the stu, at our Albury accom chilling with some of the coolest kids out.

Looks good.
Can't help thinking you need to joey mod the light housings in black though to match the body.

New wheels look good, any specs/more pictures??

[dylan8]

Cheers!
I thought the same about the joey mod (or at least half like my old lights) but the full chrome look is working for me now.
I'm going to trial a few different grills soon to reduce the amount of chrome up front, one of which will work much better with the shape of the lights internals IMO.

Wheels are ssr Schwartz
18x8.5 et42 (+20mm adapter) and 215/35 rubber
18x9.5 et42 (+15mm adapter) and 225/35 rubber.

Will get some more pictures up soon

All I'm hearing is project chrome.

Wow Dylan

I've been trying to track down genuine bora xenons for ages, if you don't mind me asking, where'd you source yours and was the $ worth it?

Thanks.

He found them in the UK and we shipped them out here.

Great pics Dylan. Love those new headlights (twindicator?) - is there much of a difference in the light output? (Sometimes I feel I'm driving around with two candles lighting the way!)

Car looks mint with the side strips back on and the BBS - dibs on the BBS when (not if) you change them for something new!

(My bad - SSR and you've sold 'em - aargh! Now please sell your BBS )

such USDM, many low, wow

[dylan8]

Got them from the UK after looking for ages (years) for some without damage etc.
Lots of $$, more then I wish to disclose tbh. For me it was worth it, but for others spending 1/4 of the cars value on second hand lights might be off putting. Cheaper and more effective to do a aftermarket retro fit unless you are a rare parts whore like me.

Yeah lightout put is awesome compared to stock, even with oem xenon globes, I plan to upgrade later too ($200 a pair :/ )
High beam is super bright but very narrow, great on straight roads but I found difficult to use on twisties... Not sure if the r32 is like this too.

The ssr will be for sale soon unfortunately, need $ to finish other long term projects.

Here's another thanks to jarred.

Wow Dyl the car looks ridiculous! My favourite Bora in Aus by far. Headlights and those wheels have just topped it off
