Faye Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I got my new facelift headlights yesterday (thanks Nic). I'm quite happy pulling the interior of a car apart, but have never spent much time attacking the engine bay area, so Keith was in full supervisory mode whilst I attempted to fit the lights. After getting the airbox off and briefly removing the battery a successful installation was complete, which resulted in me feeling quite chuffed with myself. Today we'll be doing the new gas struts for the boot Comparison from old to new http://www.toplessdriver.com/gallery/albums/Max/SUC30046.sized.jpg http://www.toplessdriver.com/gallery/albums/Max/SUC30044.sized.jpg http://www.toplessdriver.com/gallery/albums/Max/SUC30050_001.sized.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Look much better, I despise plastic headlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faye Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Look much better, I despise plastic headlights. They are still placcy ones, just not yellow. Give them a couple of years and they'll be like the old ones again They way the car is I don't think the glass ones would suit, plus there'd be added aggro of changing the wiring etc. Peter - I know what you mean, I blame the dodgy photographer They look fine in the flesh.

Bobbeh Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 How shit. Just make sure you stay on top of them with the T-Cut then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 They way the car is I don't think the glass ones would suit, plus there'd be added aggro of changing the wiring etc. Actually you don't have to change the wiring to fit UK headlights Faye.

Faye Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Really? I assumed you would do, because of the sidelight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 There's something really wierd about the way the headlights are jiggled out of the car. You really couldn't describe the sequence of tilts in any way, I suppose it's a bit like flying a helicopter, you don't know what you're doing but you just keep moving things.

Jake Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Really? I assumed you would do, because of the sidelight.Ah! TBH I was forgetting that the facelift Supras don't have a sidelight in the headlight. Yeah then, that would have to be sorted out if you wanted the sidelight in the UK headlights to work in addition to your indicator sidelights.

Keith C Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 How shit. Just make sure you stay on top of them with the T-Cut then They felt somewhat lighter though. In fact, I have a glass one in the garage as well as the two old plastic ones, I might weigh them as a comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On what, we don't have any scales By the way, thats a really unexciting thing to do of an evening!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Im sure it is lighter. Ones plastic the others glass Thats the advantage vs less clarity/strength. They do look nice though and should suit Fayes car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
