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??

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.

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!!

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
