martini Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Nope Pre-facelift have the sidelight built into the headlight itself. It sits between the foglight and the dipped beam. On the facelift they took it out as they decided to put the sidelight in with the indicator. Sorry, I meant this part... Facelifts can also go yellow too due to being plastic. HTH I thought it was pre-facelifts that go yellow? If facelift's do as well, I really could not be bothered in getting the "upgrade". Needs to be glass, surely?

Fitz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I'm sure they're made of plastic also. But..I do agree that the j-spec lights yellow faster. I have heard of some people replacing their facelift lenses with the UK glass ones. Think they put them in the oven etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Think they put them in the oven etc. I've heard this too. I might sand mine lightly to try to remove some yellowing. The day I put my lights in the oven is a day that I feel very confident with modifying my car!

marc_p Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Pre-facelift = Silver backing Facelift = Black backing That's the biggest difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Pre-facelift = Silver backing Facelift = Black backing That's the biggest difference. So basically, I could paint the backing of my pre-facelift lights black and they'd almost be there? I think HID was the best mod to my lights and I'll leave it at that. As for the clear indicators - sound great. There's no way they'll fit on my car but they do look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clear indicators do fit, I have seen them on many VS kitted supes and the biggest improvements on lights would be the uk spec glass headlights to lose the faded plastic and then you would get the best from your HID upgrade. att pic is facelift indicators and headlights Edited July 22, 2009 by kslb (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The indicators wont fit my bumper It doesn't fit that well but I might change them [indicators] if I go back to stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a VS front they will fit it just needs some minor work but not difficult. Pic again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martini Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I can't stand the kit That doesn't matter though; it's your car!

martini Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 stock bumper required or something slightly more balanced! Yup! Plan is to go stock one day either through boredom or smashing my Top Secret one to pieces. Fine with orange indicators to be honest... I don't see what the fuss is all about!

simonsupra Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I was always under the impression that Carbon fibre was supposed to be painted (correct me if I'm wrong) and that people didn't paint it just to show that they had a piece of Carbon Fibre? yeah your probably right mate, i just thought if u had spent the money on one youd keep it looking cf, dunno lol i dont have one. to the original poster im from Brisbane mate but i live in the uk...

I'm right in the centre. Probably why I dont see many! I've never actually seen a Veilside Supra in the flesh, only in photos. Regarding the CF bonnet - I would have mine painted too if I had one.

I mainly use her for the M62 run to see my girlfriend. I'm parked underneath the apartment block so you can't even see her from the street! I do plan on attending the odd meet and shoud be going to Suprapod too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 damn, I thought the general consensus on this forum was anti-veilside... It is.. Just seems the they have finally grown up enough to not rudely slate another members pride and joy. Or being cynical maybe its because there is an ace cafe meet tonight they are too scared to post their rude feelings being keyboard warriors, as people will be able to meet them face to face. Ask again next week and I bet the responses will be different That said,.. nice car. I'd prefer a bomex bumper for that agressive looking supe myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
