Multics Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Watch this vid, it's for angel eyes but the principle of removing and refitting them is the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-q0SVALfus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNk10 Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 ive just removed both the plastic facias. Im am slightly concerned about the fact they have a 20mm lip all the wat round as part of the clear plastic. I havent got my glass ones yet, but im assuming they dont have this ??? I take it i have to dremel the platic lips off the old ones and bond it to the glass ? Or should i just wait for the glass ones to arrive and see ?

Nic Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 The glass lenses and plastic lenses are a different shape and fit, don't think it will be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Sorry only just noticed this thread, but know they won't fit. When I got my 2nd hand glass light, I had a look at swapping the lenses over, as theinsides of the old J-specs were better than the UK's. When you have them side by side they are definately a different shape. Nic pointed it out to me when I asked on here as well ( thanks again Nic ), which saved me putting them in the oven and then finding out:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 well does anyone have any jspec headlights in good condition for sale ? And does anyone want some glass lenses for a refirb I feel like such an idiot How much did you pay for the glass lenses ? I have a set of J-specs, that I was going to keep for when ( if I ever got round to it ) I took my glass ones out to go black ( facelift style ). Might be able to come to an agreement and I am only up the road:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Have you bought just the lenses or have you bought the whole headlight? I think you can just swop over the inserts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
