supra_ufo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I bought a pair of UK spec glass head lights from a German member and they have been adjusted for LHD driving... On the rear of them there are 2 bolts that you can adjust, the top and the bottom. Does anyone know what each one does? I tried them both but cant seem to work out what its moving. Also comparing them with my jpsec, there is a small fusebox type thing on the back of them, what is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonus_2000 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Aren't the UK spec glass units electric adjustable or auto levelling or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Afaik you cant adjust a lamp for lhd, it either is or it isnt. Likelyhood is youve bought a set of eurospec glass lhd lamps, not uk rhd lamps. No amount of adjusting will make lhd lamps be rhd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 why does it look so wonky then? They was sold as "UK spec head lights" If they cant be adjusted what is the 8mm bolts going into the back for (my jspec has these too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 There is a bit of adjustment left and right, just not a lot. Best way to figure it out is to plug them in and adjust them with the bulbs on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Are they definitely UK spec, not Euro spec LHD glass headlights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 According to this thread yes... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?315921-UK-Spec-Glass-Headlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Whats the part number stamped on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Ill check the part numbers tonight, I was going to take them to the bodyshop.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 So Part Numbers are as Follows: Supra JZA80 Euro Spec RHD: LH Lamp - 81170-1B210 RH Lamp - 81130-1B210 LHD: LH Lamp - 81170-1B190 LH Lamp (FR German Spec) - 81170-1B220 RH Lamp - 81130-1B190 RH Lamp (FR German Spec) - 81130-1B220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 So LHD is a completely different light and the german spec is completely different again altogether (prob due to tighter restrictions on car specifications e.g the spoiler had to be lower on the german export Euro model). So as you can see, no amount of adjusting will make a LHD lamp a RHD lamp and certainly will not make a German Spec lamp, be either Std LHD and definitely not UK Spec RHD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Hi mate I looked for this number but all I saw was the bulb types I only checked the passenger side and NOT the driver side. I have taken them to the bodyshop but might pay a visit to check them over. if im honest it looks like the seal has been broken or its been hacked up not what I would expect from an "as new" ad... ill post some pics shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Every toyota/lexus part has a part number stamped on it somewhere, but id be willing to bet you have the german version if you got them off a german member. The part numbers are there for reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Is the part number not on the glass itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Is the part number not on the glass itself? you should know, you refurb them mr np89, ill PM the seller again just to confirm, the add posted above does say UK Spec.

np89 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 you should know, you refurb them mr np89, ill PM the seller again just to confirm, the add posted above does say UK Spec. In fairness, he may not have realised. TBH I didnt know until I looked that up for you that they were different in that respect cos everyone on here refers to glass headlights as "UK Spec". Part number stamped on it is your best bet to be sure. Seller might just have to eat his hat as it were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I have some high res pics of the front which im just checking now, they are at the bodyshop at the moment. I hope there not euro spec! These are the two pics I have of them but I cant clearly see the part on them so looks like im calling the bodyshop tomorrow but I might just visit tomorrow instead.

supra_ufo Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Bodyshop has just called me and said there is no reference to those number on either the glass or rear side. The said that the lights have defo been separated and put back together (which is what i suspected anyway). Last thing I needed, all this just to save £70 as I was going to buy new ones from Mr T Im going to collect them tomorrow, take some high res photos and PM the seller..!

np89 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 They shud use their eyes lol it will definitely be on there. Anyway. Sounds like you've been had mate. Hopefully the seller made an innocent mistake and will rectify accordingly. Maybe whiffen will do you an xmas good turn on a uk set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuneR Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 If they're plugged in and set against a wall you'll know if they're LHD or RHD ones; one will light up left, the other right. You cant adjust that, just up/down. Nice pictures of description here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_ufo Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Mr T down the road want 337.58 for a brand new set, Paul is asking for more than that! I paid £260 for the above but just PMed the seller anyway. They have been 100% split though which is what im mostly not happy about as I wanted a brand/as new set for my car when it comes from the bodyshop.

supra_ufo Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Seller is keen to get it sorted I just need to find out the beam pattern for him Would it be possible to shine a powerful torch through the dipped beam to see the pattern? My car is at the bodyshop and the bay is in bits as its getting resprayed and im on a course all week so wont be able to see my car which is 15 miles away. Guess ill have to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
