did buy the glass and the rear lenses from ebay australia :(

coudn't find them anywhere else.

why smash them?

there are 2 easy ways of removing the standard glass.

1. put the headlights in the owen for a short time (100-150 degrees celcius) then will the glue that holds the standard glass in plase get soft and it is easy to remove (use gloves hence your hands will get burned otherwise)

2. use a heatgun/hairdryer to get the glue to get softer then just remove the glass.

tools that might help you (helped me anyway)

screwdriver to get between the houseing and the glass to be able to bend

a knife to cut trough the "glue"

then remove the old blue eg. with a knife.

test fit the new glass, put on some new "glue" where the old glue was and put the new glass there.

if you have to much glue you will have to put some time on cutting and trimming it away, to little your headlights will take in water when you walsh the car (but hence you have somewhat warmer climate then here in Sweden your water will turn in to gases directly :P )

just keep the glue warm and soft and it will be easy to remove the glass.

Heating the whole headlight to 150 degrees makes it very easy to damage the actual headlight itself.

Do you have a link to where you got the covers from?

I can't seem to find any for R32's, only for S13's.

didn't mean that you should heat it to 150 degrees just let it be in the oven for a short period of time so the glue gets soft...

the link:

don't know if the seller got any more.

the next (not that expensive) thing that i will do to make the "police theme" more complete.

under the Tokyo Police Department Drifting department (that my car belongs to :) )

is there a sub-unit that goes under the name "Styling Police".

They don't bother about speeding cars or cars that brakes the normal trafic rules.

They only stop cars that either has a really ugly car eg. volvo 740 with a double blade F&F wing on the boot lid. also do they stop tuning/styling car owners that don't keep their cars clean, that just don't walsh their cars.

the fines/tickets for these hidious crimes are 100 hours of cleaning and rebuilding of their car :P

The Styling Police also have a budget for giving reverse tickets/fines, with that do i mean that they give a price for good styling/tuning, nice sounding car audio, shining cars and so on :D

im no expert on the matter even though I have been put in the back seat of a police car in tokyo. but I dont think there is a tokyo police department! tokyo is broken up into different areas. each area have their own police ... also make sure your kanji is right this time :P

the writing will be changed, and drifting department is just for fun, almost no-one in sweden has ever seen a japanese police car (some in the internet) but the theme is just my verion of their cars....

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
