hi all.

well after botching my headlights. they dont seem to be sealing very well and condensating.

Im looking at getting some new headlights :)

what aftermarket ones are out there in availability?

Ive seen a few on IM with halo's at $1000 for the pair.

My only real need is they NEED to have a black background.. halos would be nice lol.

what do you all think.

just trying to weigh up the difference in cost of having these repaired - or get new ones.

Most of the IM ones are an exchange deal.

Maybe time for a strip, scrupulous clean & reseal with Sikaflex?

The others seemed to manage it, maybe they have some tips?

Could be something simple...

just pull them out again... heat and split em.. and use some of the glassylite stuff to fix the clear-ness.. and sikaflex/gasket silicone them back together.. you didnt ruin your inside did you??, its just not sealing together properly right??

yes its a bitch of a job but will save you $$$ instead of new/secondhand lights.

anyway thats what i would do.. so far mine arent leaking.. but thats why i did mine to begin with, one was leaking and there was a spider living in there!!

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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.
