Hi Guys,

I have a 2002 4dr V35 and the forn headlamp covers are a bit faded/misty. Does anyone know if these can be replaced and if so where from.

I have been searching for a couple of weeks but can't locate any.

Cheers

Lee

2 words: meguiars plastX

i have a bottle sitting in my garage that i just bought, but am yet to use

but from all reports on the G35 forums the stuff is golden in getting rid of the oxidation on our headlights

its hard to find and i could not get it at usual meguiars stockists like repco or supercheap. you might be able to get them to orer it in if you like. i just went with eBay and bought a bottle from an online store:

hope that helps and saves you buying new headlights!

just so you know, plastic is a bitch to find a product that will polish it. there aren't many around at all..

cheers,

Warren

glad to help

and given its a large bottle it should give quite a few applications

my only concern when i do mine is that when they are polished they will simply oxidise again in a few months time

i was contemplating going over them with a layer of car wax of some kind to keep them UV protected but i'm not sure how that would go on plastic..

Yeah that would be good to source some sort of protection for the lights.

The dealer that I got the csr off said the "misting" was from a chemical they put on them in Japan to protect it from the snow. Not sure if it BS but I knew there would be something I could do to get them right and I had been able to polish most of it off so I let it slide!!

Use is straight lines if you can too...

There is another product that can even remove scratches, but you have to be really careful with it and I have not seen it commercially.

As per the Thread name, has anyone made any headlight covers for a V35?

"Light Skin" might work, it is like a thick contact, made by Aunger I think...

Super Cheap sell the Light skin, with all the other H/L protectors.

You do have to cut it to shape though, and it is quite thick but it can be done.

I have it on my GSX-R.

The rounded shapes would be a bit tricky though...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
