Hi there.
I've spent some time searching this evening (it's nearly midnight here in Phoenix) for some info, but I just couldn't quite find what I needed. I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself and see if some beginner's luck might point me in the right direction.
I have a pair of 6th gen Galant VR4s - a black 91 and a grey 92 (I'll spare you the badge numbers). My 91 is currently being stripped down to a shell for a roll cage this spring as it's going to be my rally car. Rally is what got me interested in GVR4s back in 2005, although I've been a Mitsubishi enthusiast since late 1996.
My 92 is my daily driver and I've been slowly touching up this and that. I got it with a bad paint job, but a very nice JDM front bumper. I've since stumbled upon a set of the JDM headlights which, although they are "weighted" to the left, look great and suit my needs fine.
I realize that this site might be predominately for the later generations (I've seen enough Legnums this evening to need an anti-depressant that they were never offered over here), but I wonder if anyone might be able to point me in the right direction for finding some details on aiming 6th gen JDM headlights. As I said, I'm happy with them, but if I can fine tune the light pattern, that would be fabulous.
Oh yeah, and if anyone reading this outside North America might have one of those odd-ball high beam adapters lying around, I could really use one of those too! (The plastic stand-off that slips over the high beam's single blade and provides two blades for the harness.)
I am a member of the community over at GalantVR4.org in the States and I know we've refered a number of international newbies with later model VR4s this direction, so I thought it might be a good place to search for some information on my non-USDM lighting kit.
Some decent pictures of my Galants can be found on their own website Tarmac & Gravel. (http://www.tarmac-and-gravel.com/2009/06/464-gets-washed/) Beyond that, I am the managing editor of Mitsubishi Gearbox Magazine (http://mitsubishi.gearboxmagazine.com), where we aim to share the stories of Mitusbishi enthusiasts from all over the world. Whether someone's drag racing an Evo here in the States, road racing a Legnum in the UK, crossing the Sahara in an L200, or crossing Siberian rivers in a Delica, we want to hear about it.
Hope to get to know some of you folks across the pond and work together towards a more unified, GLOBAL Mitsubishi brotherhood. (Oh yeah. And maybe improve my forward lighting arrangements.)
Cheers!
Brian
