When i bought my 1.5 gts-t, the right hand side headlights are fogged up, there is condensation in there....

if i were to get r33 s2 headlights......is there a perfect fit to my s1.5??, is the dimensions different?

if not

How do i clean the headlight covers and what is a strong glue to seal the headlights back up??

Edited by nemesis101

Auto Barn sells some products you can use, Go and ask them. Depending on how bad its fogged you can get 2 different items. One is a spray that you spray on the light cover (its like a plastic polish) and u rub it clean just repeat and it works well. Second is a kit comprising of some wet and dry and a liquid polish. You use the wet and dry from roughest to smoothest and give it a really really good going over untill its completely smooth. Then use the liquid polish on it with a rag.,

I brought both of the items and used them together made my lights good as new.

Hi Skyrin3

Thanks for the info, i just checked my headlights position, just trying to find out how hard it is to get them out....it seems that there are a few screws in awkward positions.....was it hard for you to remove the headlights??.....and did you seal the covers allright at the end??

Yep, I figured the needing of a bonnet would shut you up...

It's pretty much a whole front end conversion, with shit not sitting perfectly etc...

PS: I reckon S2s look like shit... just my 2c... though the headlights are of a better build quality and FAR easier to keep clean :)

If you just change the head lights and bonnet the front bar will sit under the head lights and will not line up properly.

To make it fit and look decent you need:

Head lights, (Expect to pay from a wrecker if your lucky enough to find them $300-500)

Bonnet, ($200-300)

Front bar, ($250-600)

Reo ($200-300)

Wiring for fog lights (if you dont aleady have them on your S1)

Then on top of that you need to paint it all.

Polish the head lights and wack on some eye lid covers.. will prob cost you $80 all up.

Cheers

I can only find 1set of Sr2 lights in Adelaide and they want $440 for each light :D so if anyone has a set for sale PM me

Yeah, 4get about the S2 headlights unless your serious about the conversion. Do your lights go clear when you wet them for a second b4 returning to normal? Mine did that so I scrubbed them with different cleaning products. JIF worked the best, then I polished them the other day when I was doing the whole car, and they are now clearer than ever. Try that, both products that many of us have lying around, and are much cheaper than buying a full S2 conversion!!

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
