DodgyRog Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I have blacked mine, I did try and save the rings, but the chrome peeled a bit when I took the masking tape off, so they just ended up all black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPG Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Will facelift inserts fit into UK spec headlights, or are there differences between the two inserts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Will facelift inserts fit into UK spec headlights, or are there differences between the two inserts? No the fit of the lenses in the J-spec and UK housings are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdistc Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 No the fit of the lenses in the J-spec and UK housings are different. Just to clarify for myself, the UK glass cover won't fit either JDM housing (pre-facelift or facelift)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Just to clarify for myself, the UK glass cover won't fit either JDM housing (pre-facelift or facelift)? Correct the UK glass lenses will not fit the J-spec housing - pre-facelift or facelift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look ace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdistc Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Correct the UK glass lenses will not fit the J-spec housing - pre-facelift or facelift. Thanks Nic. There *was* a company back in Australia that made de-lined glass covers and carbon inserts, but has since folded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Is there anywhere to get a lens seperate? I've thought this before. A glass/clear lens for my facelifts would look a treat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
