So i've misplaced my "Headlight Rubber Cap/Cover" and i think the rain may have drenched my headlights and now its not working.

I'm looking to just get my headlights replaced but I would still need the Headlight Rubber Cap/Cover to stop water from getting in and destroying my headlights again.

Anyone have any idea where i can get them? Junkyard but dont think much Junkyard places would have our car?

Just to give you an idea in case you dont know what im talking about:

And i would try let it dry out but since its going to rain about 25/31 days this month then....

i would recomment you to take your headlights to a junkyard and they might find a replacement item from an other car headlight which might be of same dimensions...just a try wont harm or you might get some good suggestions from them.....specially try the import junkyards...

Keep an eye out on trademe.co.nz They often have parts for v35 skylines when you see one ask for a price etc on the part you need

Get the manufacturer/part # physical size details off the other one & go see your friendly autosparks supplier or Mr Nissan dealer. Shouldn't cost much & is bound to be fitted to a number of vehicle types. I very much doubt the weather cover would be unique to your particular car.

Cheers GW :thumbsup:

PS: Ref: lights not working.....Don't suppose you have just blown the headlight fuse(s)?

Couldn't be that lucky I suppose.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
