if it's keeping the headlights clean then i use re-po polish! polish the crap off and then i start going over it with very fine sand paper! something like a 1200 or finer! and then i go over it again with polish! they still look pretty clean after half a year now!

i am getting my kit on the weekend......from another mate of mine who has a S1.....i always thought that the s2 lights would bolt up to s1 body.....ahh well and kahli what is the deal with putting your lights in the oven....

I think the idea with putting them in the oven is to soften the seals on them, so that you can open em up and get to the insides to polish the crud out...Or at least thats what i gathered from a guide i found somewhere on here...

I thought i was gonna have to do this to mine but it turned out all the crud was on the outside of mine so i just attacked the outsides of em with autosol (metal polish - probably a bit harsh in hindsight, but worked well)...

BS ive found new ones for that price even from nissan they might be pushing 3g for new

>>Brand New GTR $1300 RHS<<

>>Brand New GTR $1300 LHS<<

>>GTR headlights the Pair $1600<<

>>GTR HID $1000<<

all rough prices using Xe.com

Saw at a particular import place, can email u name via PM, $1800 each s/h.

thats kool it was prolly JMS :D there very dear and told me they were getting a GTR front cut soon

if i was ever to upgrade then i would get off yahoo japan

Close, but no. And this was about a year ago. Gotta admit, havent looked anywhere else, so i was just commenting on the basis of what ive personally seen.

i use a meguiar's plastics polish to make my headlights come up new again if ne1 is interested in trying something else and you can get it from motoquipe and so on. never tried putting em in the oven but it does sound interesting.

actually thats the reason why I was looking to get some new lights ^^^ my left light has the support inside cracked....so i was thinking of changing both if I could to s2 lights but ahh well

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
