I believe that you will need to do some minor re wiring as they are designed to replace the USDM glass headlights but pretty easy to figure out. I would think that they should be adjustable enough that you could correct them to the right angle and not be high beaming them cos they are designed for the other side of the road.

i agree most of the aftermarket ones look gay n no im not keen on going projector either, mostly wanting to run standard h4 globes and figure if im having to pull headlights out and modify globe mounts might as well get some new ones while im at it...
looking at these...

Wow mooshie, a DA5 with b16a, thats farking sick! More details about the window visors please, I'm looking for a set. HIC by any chance?

**mooshie** · 03-04-2012 08:34 PM

at the risk of sounding like a real noob what is HIC?

the visors are just ebay aftermarket ones, nothing special.. and seriously overestimating the car! its very much a project thats going to take a while to complete. thanks though, I'll post some better pics soon

Oh, just some company that makes aftermarket ones for the DA. Would you mind posting the ebay link? I can't seem to find them.

Your DA5 just seems rare as hell, pretty much the only other localish 4 door I've seen had a SOHC engine. Was it the same one that was posted up many pages back, owner wanted $8k or something?

Ah, the visors I got second hand so no idea what brand or where from originally, if you pm kikxz he might know.

The car is a repaired vehicle with new VIN and B16 is a conversion, conversion has been done well though with all emission regs etc and the car passed the ID checks here so the numbers are all legit. I got it a lot cheaper than 8k... Let's put it this way, the car was less than all of the other parts combined! They aren't common and just couldn't pass up the opportunity, even with it's problems I could sell the engine etc for more than the car cost me or use for my own parts.
