Hi all

 

Just a quick question regarding the headlights. how many types of headlights are available I have read the other threads but still a little unsure. How many types of clear lights are there I have seen some that look like the have black on the back face. also can you get the ones with angel eyes on.

 

many thanks John:innocent:

yea like me i have the crap glass ones that have a silver back with blurred front vision, as for the facelift black backgorunds they are clear look the best

 

Huh? The glass ones offer the best vision unless you've got a HID kit fitted.

 

Burred front vision? :blink: Sounds like you have the plastic JDM ones.

Any decent glass supplier should be able to polish the lines from glass headlights, but this will seriously affect the performance of the lights, especially on full beam.

I think the yellowing on the earlier jap import cars is due to the chrome surface constantly reflecting light back onto the inside of the plastic lenses (probably because of the huge chromed areas on these). I've seen plenty of other types jap import cars with plastic lights that do not suffer from this phenomenon.

I believe those 'clear' ones are also plastic, so will no doubt go yellow over time like the normal JDM lights.

 

The early headlights yellow and scratch a lot more than the facelift ones do. My facelift headlights are a few years old now, but are like new still after car is washed.

 

Thinking perhaps the lens material was changed on the later headlights.
