The lights I want to fit we import from Finland - I am in Brissie. http://www.nordiclights.com/products/a/N2400Hid.html[B]2005 VX V6[/B] -
They certainly look the goods but how do they perform? I don't profess to know all the rules here in Oz but are they legal to fit here?Originally posted by Jus10 View PostComment

Hi PP,
I've just purchased my 97' Prado Grande and live in Ipswich, QLD and work in Brissy CBD. It's my first 4wd and could not be happier. The car needs a bit of TLC and a good service.
I was originally looking at a getting a Surf but soon learnt a little about Prados and here i am.
It is kind of the other end of the stick for me, coming from a modified Nissan 180sx, sitting low in buckets, stiff suspension etc. I guess it might be me getting older? Now I no longer fear potholes and speed bumps and just have to take note of low car parks when the roof racks are on!
My plans are to have a reliable almost-go-anywhere car, to go camping and head out on road/fishing trips.
After almost a year since selling the 180sx and not tinkering with anything, the modifying bug has already bit and here I am looking at winches etc!:lol:

Hi Guys, I am now the proud owner of a 2008 Black 120 Prado Grande D4D with a stock soverine bar and 150,000kms on the clock. I also own a Nissan Patrol beast with 33" Maxis rubber, lift kit, winch, snorkel, roofrack, light force, etc. etc. So why choose the Prado? OK, my previous car was a Toyota Landcruiser GXV 100 series and my mate rolled it for me. I loved the Toyota because of the great build quality, bullet proof reliability and off road capability. So who did I end up with a Nissan? Well this thing came up and it was all setup and cheap. Half the cost of a Toyota! But after a while I reasearched it and I have been fearful of the ZD30 diesel motor explodeing. Things have been going wrong with the Nissan. Just little niggly things. So as time goes by I have wished to get back into a Toyota. Don't get me wrong, the Nissan never let me down and I have always managed to winch it out from being stuck. But I don't really enjoy driving it. We can't park it underneath car parks and my girlfriend just cant climb into it wearing a dress. So what prompted me to get a car with so many kms, OK, cost and Toyota reliability. I am a little concerned now about injectors, dash and tailgate after reading some of these forums, but hopfully I will not suffer any of these issues. The vehicle was owned by a farmer out in country Victoria and it looks like its all been honest Hyway kms. It does not look beached, crashed or bush bashed YET! lol. Anyway I am happy with it. The girlfrind likes the curtisy light on the vanity mirror and the nice interior. I got it service by Toyota and they said its starting to weap oil around the vacume pump but I got a second opinion and the other mechanic said there is no leak. just some road grime under the vacume pump. First thing I will do is change the tyres, and when I sell the Nissan I will go nuts. The suspension seems a bit soft even on the hardest setting but it might need some new shocks etc.Comment
