Hello all. Just want to share my headlight retrofit service. I'm based in Melbourne but happy to do interstate jobs as long as you are willing to ship me your headlights. Let me know if you have any questions. Below are links to my website as well as Facebook page. I would prefer if you did it through the page so I can have a record of our convo. Otherwise you could use the email form on the website to contact me via email. Thanks!

Are you able to convert standard R33 GTR headlights into Xenon lights using a retrofit kit perhaps one from an audi or something? then replace the plastic lens with a glass lens?

Glass bit = not going to happen.

What you can do is try it yourself (grab a spare pair of headlights). It's not that hard, in fact it's much easier these days. You can clear up plastic cover/lenses, or even make your own clear ones!

Care to elaborate sir? Ever since I did the DIY clean on my headlights, they turn to shit pretty f**ken quick. I'm sick of it.

I've done everything the kit suggested. I then used a sealant in the kit to protect them from future wear. No luck. I've hit them again with the headlight polish from maguirs or what ever it is called and still no dice.

sand them with 2000 wet until they're clear, then use a polish on them.

Best kit is the glassy lite one because it has the best sealant.

Have to be careful with the sealant application - really need to give it its dry 24 hours to properly set. Once you've done that it will last at least a year depending on climates and how harsh the washes are that you use on your headlights.

You can also use toothpaste and a toothbrush or paper towel to do your headlights, then add a sealant on top of that.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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.
