Howdy!

Just found these on the net (as i have to get my driver side headlamp replaced) So i might as well get both done as i need a new front bumper.

I am wondering if these will fit into my car with no worries, so when i take my car in to get fixed, i can get the crash repair guys to order some for me.

Any help would be appreciated. :D

Oh, im also looking at replacing my stock bumper with a VR/VRX bumper when i take it in.....

Yes they will fit, but I assume they're for LHD cars so if you fit them you'll blind everybody :P

Why would such a thing happen??

I'd presume that these headlights are the same as what you may find in Ralliart/ Evolution Lancers??

Those headlights are way more cool than the ones on my RA. I think these headlights are fully aftermarket.

I'd be interested in how you can turn those DRL's on and off, does it just use the parking light switch?

Not sure. Im thinking of ordering these soon maybe before i get my car in to be fixed so i can have them ready.

You'd think that these would be no different to cars that are RHD??

It depends, head lights are designed to spray light forward as well as to the passenger side to light up the side of the road. If they are for LHD the will go forward and onto incoming traffic.

Probably best if you email the manufacturer to make sure,

Any idea on where in Aus i'd get my hands on headlights such as these?

Thanks for your help guys. I just looked at that Mars website that i see get mentioned, but as far as i can see, both of the headlights that are offered, dont fit the normal standard CJ?? Or am i getting confused.

Im thinking of maybe sticking with some foglamps for now :D (cj-silver)
