i have a 95 R33 and want to change my faded yuk plastic headlights to some nice clear glass ones, where can i get such items?

is it worthwhile/easy enough to switch to series II lights? i imagine i would need a new bonnet also if i did this?

in the meantime any good ways to clear up the plastic lights? they look all crap and yellow on a black skyline :D

thankyou :D

also feel free to point me to a related thread, i did search.

i just used a cutter on my headlights, it made them look brilliant and shiny, however u will need to do them every month or 2, but i just go over mine with meguires when i polish my R33 anyway and they come up great again.

have u heard of glass lights for sky's? i never even knew they were available from anywhere? is this just something u are interested in or have you actually seen/heard of them?

i thought the S2 and gtr's had glass headlights? no?

as long as they look shiny and clear i don't mind, would prefer glass tho.

They're all plastic, i don't thiknk anyone would make headlights out of glass since they are a first point of contact with any foreign object that gets throw off the road... sI have black plastic on the inside, sII use chrome plastic, so they look 'clear'... anyway...

so any guides for cleaning/removal?

a lot of places sell a plastic cleaner, with the logo "PLASTIC CLEANER" on the tubes for about $20

You rub it on, leave it on for about 2 - 5 minutes, then thoroughly wipe it off (you could use some form of buffing device if you wanted) and they come up VERY CLEAR.

I've done it on my S2 (which is definately plastic) and they look CRYSTAL clear (especially with the xenons I just put in them)

A mate of mine has a Series 1, and we used it on his headlights and they came out just as good.

yeah mate as in paint cutter, sorry i thought that was obvious but yeah i see how it could mean a few things. i just use meguires cutter and it works perfectly, they really look good when done, i thought my stains were on the inside also untill i cut the outside and they came up perfectly

or you could take your lights to

Melbourne Headlight Exchange,

Unit 2/ 130 Bridge Rd

Keysborough

VIC, 3173

Australia

they will pull them apart, clean them and seal them back up.

They will come back to you in brand new condition. you will be like wtf these arnt mine.

Any questains can be refered to danny (autotrust) as he was the one who refered me to these ppl.

To get 34 lights to fit, you would have to make a custom bonnet at least.

The 4 door headlights look a lot cleaner as they have a chrome backing, instead of black.

I put them in mine and they look heaps better.

    • 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!
