Scott Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I have JDM headlights and i was wondering..... Could i buy a set of glass headlights, remove the glass and swop it over with the plastic on mine? I really fancy having glass to get rid of the yellowing etc but i like the facelift look.

Scott =op Yes it can be done. I would like to see some pictures of this tbh. I am thinking of getting brand new facelift lights soon but I have never been keen on the glass ones really. Plain glass on a facelift black background would be mint I would imagine!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 JUst get some face lift lights if your gonna do that, only benefit is that glass doesnt fog i guess. (I bought my UK spec ones, purely as mine were so foggy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The shape/fit of the housings is different, so they wouldn't be a straight swap, I think it would be very difficult to do. gzaerojon would be the best person to talk to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 My glass headlights will be up for sale soon, good for a refurb, so glass and you can refurb the relfectors black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 My glass headlights will be up for sale soon, good for a refurb, so glass and you can refurb the relfectors black. This would be the best way to do it. Either buy a 2nd hand set hand UK's (very rare) or a new set of UK fronts (circa £260), split them and paint the backs.

Only reason I am selling is, they do need a refurb as they are 125k miles old and I like the glass headlight shiney look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Glass can fog but won't go yellow, gzaerojon can do them with rings or without, or you can do them yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Two glass ones here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Glass can fog but won't go yellow, gzaerojon can do them with rings or without, or you can do them yourself. ALL supra lights can fog (fronts). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 My glass headlights will be up for sale soon, good for a refurb, so glass and you can refurb the relfectors black. How much you looking for them? Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 How much you looking for them? Scott =op To be fair mate, it is going to be about 2-3 months before I get new ones. As in how much? I dunno really as they are £270ish new from Manley. I would have said £140ish(this would be delivered too), maybe some people can say if thats too much or not as I have no idea (but Jezz had a second hand set up for sale for £300 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 When you split the lights, what do you re seal them with? H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H. gzaerojon would answer that for you mate if you are considering doing it, he uses some sort of sealent that takes a while to dry. Vague I know lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
