_Shane_ Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Lads im thinking of changing my glass uk spec front headlights to a set of black facelift lights. anyone got any input on whether i should or not ? Here is a pic of my supra . Would it suit the car more with the black headlights or what ? cheers Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I would split the lights you have and spray in insides black. They look excellent and you get the benefit of the glass lenses. If you don't want to do it yourself I think there's a couple of traders on here that will do it. IMHO it will look much better for it. (although your car looks pretty stunning as it is!)

R Black Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Quite like yours as is, if i were to change,i would split them & spray them as j_jza80 said, you can send them off or do it yourself, i did it on mine, its not hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yes Splitting them and painting, no, even the pro's have condensation problems, dont ruin some nice UK lights, sell them on for decent cash and get some facelifts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Get some Facelifts, would look good as long as they don't yellow and get full of condensation (or both) did a quick photoshop to see what it'd look like... You reallly can't tell that much difference from the front. close up they look a lot different though... as you can see by my pic bellow (my lights are refurbished J-Specs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Actually Shane, you could facelift them, then someone on here does those clear perspex type fronts, they look better than glass IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeyboy2k Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I'd leave them as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R3DG3CKO ROB Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I've had no end of trouble with my re-furbs... the drivers side light has gone completely yellow and both are constantly full of moisture... Just something to bare in mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Black Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 My refurbs have been fine apart from when i have jet washed them, which i dont anymore, you refurbs are the plastic ones right. I wonder how many people have major sealing issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 had a sealing issue myself witha brand new headlight, bit of silicone went in where problem was and hasnt been an ounce of moisture since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I've done a few of these now, and only thae 1st set let condensation in. It's not too difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yes definitely facelift headlights, they look so much more modern IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyW Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Yes definitely facelift headlights, they look so much more modern IMO. Hmmm is that view tainted by what's listed in your signature? I must also concur however that facelift lights do look superb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Be flash, buy a set of facelifts and switch the insterts over with the glass ones. I split my headlights around 3 times all in doing my angel eyes and i don't have any condensation issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
