Lenseless Headlights On R33 Gtr

[fletch63]

Hi all,

I am planning to buy a pair of worn headlights and remove the lenses, to try to see how it looks on my GTR.

As I understand it the S1 headlights have sealed beams and the S2 don't (mine is a S1)

So it is possible....pls confirm or laugh

I also think the GTR headlight is different to the GTST.

Can someone please confirm this as I'm now shopping for a set and need to know if I'm restricted to looking at GTR one's.

Also how do you think it will look???

I'm mid way through a project of this nature now. I have gotten a set of GTS-T S1 lights to go on my S1 GTR. As I understand, I think it will just need some spacers - e.g. GTS-T lights can go on GTR but not vice versa. Hopefully someone can confirm.

The lights I pulled apart are not sealed at all. The glass lenses just clip onto the plastic without any o-rings or rubber grommets. I'm still contemplating how I will seal up the high beam cause I'm retro fitting a projector in the low beam side.

interesting

do the headlight covers clip on hard enough to 1. not come off

and 2. not let water in?????

if so I would just leave them

if not maybe silastic?

Yes for 1 (firmly hold them in place) but I doubt #2 - there is still a small gap that isn't sealed so water/moisture could get in.

Also, one lens is on the inner shroud and the other is on the light itself. So very different set-up on the two lights.

s1 headlight covers are usually sealed with black sikaflex...anyway lenseless headlights are horrible...so im just gunna laugh

Yeah maybe horrible

That's why I'm thinking of buying a cheap pair so I can put my good one's back if it is.

But just thinking of ways to break up/change/enhance the front end of my white GTR

It's just me getting bored.

The surrounds do look nice and shiny black underneath that cover

you mean the outer lense or the inside lense? as far as I know gtr and s1 lights are identical...

oi got some s1 lights here in pieces if you want some pics of anything

I think mounting parts are the only difference between S1 GTST and GTR.

From limited research, not a hard changeover

Do you have 2 for sale cheap?
