    Default Installing one piece parabolics

    The one piece parabolics is slightly more difficult as it involves removing the front bumper. Below is a picture that show the removal of the bumper.
    Some people are lazy and will just loosen enough to flex the bumper for enough clearence for the one piece parabolics to fit in. Just be careful to put a cloth to prevent scratching your beautiful paint work.

    Removal of Bumper in general:



    The one piece parabolics should go straight in without major issues, you need to relax and just find the fitting. In some cases, headlight bracket will be required to be removed in order to fit the lights in.

    Enjoy Your parabolics.

    Forgive the ignorant question, where can you get para's?
    1996 TE Mitsubishi Magna. K&N pod filter. Pioneer sound system. One piece para's. 20% black tint. 16" ROH. King Lows.

    Coming soon: 2.5" cat back. Letterbox grill. Finish boot install.

    Ok dumb question time:
    I am installing one piece paras, so all i have to do is ground the red wire (with the end that connects to the plug) and that's it?, i plug it in and it all works? Or have a i missed something?
    Also what are the max wattages you would put in parkers, low and high beam? I'm looking at getting some of the phillips globes, but not sure on how bright i can go?
    Please use the report a post feature, instead of replying and creating more work for the admin team. Thanks!

    Irwin, thats a damn sexy TJ to have in the pics...

    Hey Mate, Nexus and I actually got my 1 peice paras in without removing the bumper. We did however undo alot of bolts etc and simple flex the bumper a bit to get them in. Ralliart-Akko was saying to me that he also did it this way on his old exec. I think he said he unbolted the metal shweet of the front quater panel and flexed that too. If you want a hand Nexus is the man, I can come give you a hand but he is the one you want for the wiring.

    Iriwn, great work mate. I hope people appriciate all the effort you put into it, you should start a Para Installation Company.
    Saving your strength is a waste of your potential!
