wile e coyote Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I would say you could maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 The glass and plastic lenses are a different shape and fit, they are not a straight swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Could you not put facelift inserts into the glass lights? Probably less work than fitting glass lenses to facelifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dukenukem Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 I know from experience you cannot put pre-facelift inserts into UK housings, nor UK glass lenses onto pre-facelift housings. I think the only difference between pre-facelift and facelift inserts is the colour and chrome rings? So if they're the same shape they wont fit in UK housings either.

listy Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Why wouldn't they fit? Are they just too big? Could they be trimmed to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Why wouldn't they fit? Are they just too big? Could they be trimmed to fit? The shape of the lenses and where they seal against on the housing are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gar_GT4 Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 thanks for the replies....i might just machine polish the facelift lights and sell them on and split the uk ones and paint them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
