R33 Series 2 Front Bar Lights

[HotPlates]

Does anyone know where to get R33 series 2 front bar circular clear lens, so I can replace the circular orange lens with clear ones?

For the same reason people replace their winkers with Nismo clear ones, I think the circular orange lens on the front bar make it look outdated and ugly.

Has anyone done this?

www.kudosmotorsport.com.au sell them for $200. Theese are the cheapest I've been able to find but are still way over priced IMO.

I couldn't find them there.

I'm sure there are a couple of members on here who have tinted ones. Looks like sam5709 has them, or has them blocked off.

bumpity I want answers

[sam5709]

ok people this is how i did mine

i also hated the orange lens

what i did after trying some ideas was too buy some smoked acrylic sheeting

at first my idea was too just replace the orange lense with a clear one but after taking off the fog light cover it was apparent that they wernt the same, pic attached

i took the fog light cover off and ended up smashing out my orange lenses because they were glued on or sumthing lol i then cut the smoked acrylic sheeting into the same shape as the orange lenses, i then put them in place and used small screws and screwed them inplace, now there is no more orange lol

oh and if any of you have sent me a pm in the past and i didn't reply i apologize lol i get heaps quit a few pm's asking me how to do this that i loose tack

here are some pics of how it turned out, although they arnt clear they are better then orange

Thanks Sam! I had no idea the clear and orange lens weren't the same.

A couple of questions though. Is removing an indicator legal? How are people from front on to know which way you are wanting to turn?

Secondly, do you think you could just use a really dark spray shadow tint on the orange to achieve somewhat desirable results?

Or what about some clear plastic cut and filed to size, shadow spray tinted, and then inserting an amber bulb? I'm sure you can get many variations in plastic texture, like that found on the original clear lens. Looking at that picture of the orange lens, you could cut a clear plastic circle, and then make the base and put them together.

I just don't know where to get some! Any ideas?

heya, yeh i forgot to add that i changed the bulbs to orange ones to keep it legal, actually one of them had an orange one in and the other one didnt lol

as for the shadow spray, yeh you could probably do that, i personally havnt given it that much thought as i am happy with the result for now lol

Where did you get this from?

Also, how effective are your front bar indicators now that you've done this? Is it just a small orange flash because you only have an orange bulb, or does the whole circle light up like it's supposed to?

[sam5709]

lol i ended up getting this at the place i least expected, found out that "clark rubber" sold it, i think it was 10 bux a sheet and thats all i needed

id say you would be able to see the flash at about 90% as apposed to the 100% stock gave so it is still plenty visible

man you guys are all copy cats

im gonna remake mine as i got another set of foglamps and garnish will do in up coming weeks then will have pics and step by steps to make it work

That would be awesome mate, it looks as if you've done somthing to your fog lamps as well? They dont look normal. Looks mean as anyways.

I went to a headlamp speacialist to get the clear lense removed without breaking it, and I have found a clear lense which will do the job, although I'm curious to see how you guys went about it, expecially PIG GTS, as I said, looks like you've done something different to yours that makes it look meaner...

Anxiously awaiting the tutorial!

[sam5709]

at the moment "pig gts" has done the old acrylic trick, if your referring to his display pic

How can i get the bulbs out of the front spots on my R33 S2 GTS? i can get my hand into them but cant figure out how to get the bulb out, (working blind...) I have removed the plastic cap by turning it till it comes away, but now im stuck on the bulb.....

anyone done this or got a pic of the back?

Cheers

[ICER33]

did you guys do it to both the fog and indicator, or just the indicator

[PM-R33]

Sorry to bring up a bit of an old thread. Does anyone have any updates to what they have done recently regarding the front indicators?

I have a spare set of front foglight/indicator assemblies and have wanted to do this for quite a while, but like people have said earlier the bloody foglight glass and indicator glass are different

Do you think that if i took the glass to some specialist like a glass cutter or something, they could somehow cut the foglight glass and make it fit into the indicator?? Anyone done something like this??

Cheers guys
