Noz Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Just curious. I'll be looking to buy a set soon, I was just wondering why people like them so much over other styles. I prefer a clean lens personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blythmrk Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I can only think that they do not go dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_p Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Personal opinion, for me, I don't like them, facelift ones look far better in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I love them one for one reason and one reason only, facelifts never look great unless they are brand new imo. They have all dulled so much, UK specs you never have to worry about that. I do however agree that face lifts shape is nicer and on some colours the dark insert is better too. de-lined lenses look the best imo but you have the risk of them misting having been split Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'd say that people who prefer UK to facelift are the minority. While I would agree that some cars do suit the UK lights, on the whole the facelifts generally look better, and give the car a far more modern look.

JasonR24 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I prefer uk specs because glass is superior. Doesn't fade which for me makes them the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I prefer UK headlights. Think they look slightly better, but visibility for me is better being glass than plastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Do UK's look all that different when split and painted Black a la facelift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Do UK's look all that different when split and painted Black a la facelift? Yes My first two Supras, the UK spec on thhe right with 'facelifted' glass lights, the other stock spec facelift. In person, the facelifts looked much better.

Oh yea I've never noticed that before! They are actually sleeker. Shame they didn't make them in glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc92 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I polished my facelifts up last summer and they were back to cloudy within 6 months. It sucks having plastic lenses even if the inserts look 10x better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In person, the facelifts looked much better. Ta very much Not seen a side by side comparison before, I didn't think the difference would be that much. Do you have anymore images of the lights? If you do close up would be perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I took a close up comparison pic once, I know I've posted on here before. I'll dig it out at some point.

Sheefa Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Facelift looks much better, especially on a silver supra!!! Too much chrome/silver going on with UK glass hence I sold mine. To be fair my facelifts are near mint still but car is dry stored in garage. It must be the sun that causes the discolouration surely?

jonc Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Ive put UKs on both my Supras. I think they look so much better. In fact for my current car I swapped the facelifts for the UKs. It was the first job I did when I picked the car up 6 years ago. Uks suit the RSP colour as well (in my eyes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I get why people install UK spec lights, but the facelift lights are much better looking in my opinion. Shame Toyota never made facelift lights in glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The reason the plastic clouds is UV damage, you have to use a uv gel after polishing so they will stay that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
