- J-Spec's Supras have a plastic lense (tendency to go yellow)

- UK Supras have a glass lence

- Facelift Headlight don't have side lights and are black.

 

So, if in my infinite wisdom I bought a set of HID import style bulbs for my J-spec and I wanted to achieve the black look of the facelift headlights the only way would be to open the lights and paint them myself.

 

is that right!

 

Don't want to ditch my J-Spec's lights as they are in perfect condition.

take them apart and run the risk of ruining your perfect condition lights with condensation :(

 

Yeh how come your original j-spec lights are in such good nick Edd? I thought mine where good but yours look like uk glass lights from the pics they are that clear!

You could open them up and paint them, while they are apart you could fill the original sidelight hole with fibreglass, it comes out with a couple of screws.

 

If i were you i would sell yours as they are quite new aren't they ?

 

Or get hold of a secondhand + cash for your old ones and do the above with them.

humm,...

 

My current lights are only 2yr old, as I had a small bump and coudn't live with one new and one yellow light so I bought a new set from toyota, but didn't fully appreciate the joy of UK and Facelift's DOH!!!

 

This current set seem to have lasted fine. Not a spot of yellow and perfect condition. Problem is, I have a HID kit for them which I can't use if I buy new facelift headlights

I can't stand the fact they have almost gone to a now very noticeable yellow car...ruins the look of car in my opinion.

 

Nic...i saw your post for the lights you're selling, do they come with bulbs?

 

Hi

 

Do you mean the facelift headlights here?

These don't include bulbs, but they are a straight swap with your early J-spec headlights ie. your bulbs will fit them.

 

I have 2 pairs in stock at the moment if needed.

 

cheers
