[maddy400r33]

Will r33 four door headlights fit a 2dr gtst spec 2 (type 2)

Cant get plastic type, was thinking will 4dr glass work!

Most R33 headlights are useless cloudy lensed deathtraps anyway.

Don't have that problem with mine. Maintenance is the key.

Parts book lists 26060-25U25 l/hand headlight as fitting sedan and coupe

Cheers, very helpful, yeh was trying to avoid pointless cloudy plastics.

Must try harder! 

So its ok to give the 4dr glass units a go? Will both sides fit?

Like the idea of glass, but would they post half way around the world intact?

Yup. Just need lots of bubble wrap.

Doesn't Behrman make a kit to fix those? Or is it only for the GT-R trims?

[GTSBoy]

There's plenty of headlight polishing kits available. It's just polish. Grinding off the oxidised layer.

[niZmO_Man]

Sanding and polishing is the easy part. It's the UV resistant layer on top that's important. (Philips' resto kit one is good).

[maddy400r33]

Thanks for all the replies, must keep an eye of ebay australia, nothing here! Or very little! Im on a tight budget, so thats a big thing! 

I have a r33 with existing plastic lenses, think the glass lenses would be a good alternative for my other r33 gtst project, it means the glass are always ready to rock should the plastic lenses need removed for cleaning.

If your on a budget take your plastic ones to a good panel beater and get them to sand and polish them then two pack clear urethane them.

Works a treat and much cheaper than a new set

Sometimes the oxidation/cracking is on the inside of the lens for whatever reason. If that happens it's easier to just replace the lens with new if possible.

Team, apologies for digging up an old thread but does anyone know for sure if the Behrmann kit will suit an S2 GTST 33 coupe? 

Don't fancy shelling out 2k+ for a set of new lights.

Mine have gone cloudy pretty bad and from what I can see there is crazing on the inside of the lenses. I'm not sure if I can fix this.
