Head Lights R33

[cruzin33]

hey iv got a r33 gts=t and wana tidy up the frount lights and make it look nice is there and after market lights i can get or a clear plastic to replace the old lens and what is the price on a new pair of frount lights for a 94 model r33

[WogsRus]

simple fix, got some cut and polish and cut the plastic, do this a couple of times, by hand, and depending on the grade on the cut polish, either do it up and down, or across. Then use normal polish a few times, and no probs, nice and clean.

Just a lot of elbow grease

if u want to clean the lense Silvo works great with a soft cotton cloth in small patchs circular motions

Often the main smoky problem is on the inside of the lens - which means you need to carefully heat your lights in a normal oven to a certain temperature, at which time the rubber seals let go and you can separate the cover from the rest of the light to polish the inside.

Meguires make a great plastic cut polish that made the outside of mine look 100% better, but I really ned to do the insides too. I think there is a tutorial on how to open up your lights somewhere on SAU - do a search.

I have seen as new paris of lights go on the forums for around $1,000 from memory - new from Nissan expect $1,000 each!

yep elbow grease, brasso, silvo, cut and polish um you can get plastic cleaner, also toothpaste works.

saves you lotsa money for bout 15 mins of your time

[Madaz]

lots and lots of cotton wool

to remove the lenses of an R33 is a delicate job u need a heat gun and a steady hand ( oh and hours ) lol

unclip the brass clips then on a hot day use a heat gun to heat up the silastic until the plastic lense comes off then spend hours cleaning the c#$@ off the lights and lenses, wammo done

i just painted the inside of mine cleaned the bugs out and used the maguires clear plastic cleaner and went to town on the clear plastic lenses, inside and out.

put it back with ample amounts of black silastic and they looked like brand new ones,

hope this helps

P.S a mate just bought a HID kit off ebay for $200 comes with 8000k globes and transformers. They work wicked and look great too.

easiest way to open the lights is to put them in boiling water and pry open with a flathead screwdriver.

then clean however you want.

I did Vange's lights by using vx calais projectors and silver surrounds and cutting them to mount in the existing hole.

looks awesome.

just need those projectors before you use xenon HID lights otherwise they look like street lamps.

yeah don't I know it mate - my headlights are so damn bright I have people flashing me all the time thinking my high beams are on. I have ordered some eyelids, and if that doesn't fix it enough I might do what you did, but with some Accord Euro projectors ....

Saw you the other day - why have you got your VW beast for sale already?
