Noz Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) If anyone is building their own headlights and need anything (other than clips as I myself am looking) please let me know. Most of what I have is one off's or average condition spares, most of the full sets have been sold over the years (apart from my own back up set). But inserts, casings, brackets, rubbers, domes, let me know. I don't mind sending send for free as it's just spares and semi-condition parts. I do have a few lenses, but in poor condition really. Maybe good for someone making an intake project or something. Let me know guys, I will likely be throwing it all out otherwise.

her_94supra Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Do you still have the rubbers that go round the outside of the headlights? In desperate need for mine as they got removed by previous owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Afraid not. They usually get damaged sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolizma Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Do you have any prefacelift running lights mouldings? (clear ones that stick out of the bottom face) One of mine is very milky. Have you ever successfully polished them? Thanks, and very nice of you to offer bits for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Do you mean the side light pod? You must have UK headlights sir. As they don't absorb the rays that discolour the plastic. Whereas jspec go yellow, UK's allow the light through impacting the pod instead. Edited February 23, 2021 by Noz (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Noz, do you happen to know if there are any replacement lenses for the facelift lights, I have a spare set in the loft but the lenses have those micro cracks in them, you can notice them better if standing side on to the light at close quarters. Seems a shame to waste them as the insides are pristine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 Facelift lenses were made using a different more UV fragile plastic. You could swap the lenses with the PreFacelift or buy a set of cut out fronts, where you use the OEM lens frame, bond it in, smooth and off you go. It's a right ball ache mind you. I do have a set somewhere if you fancied the challenge. I could always charge for the procedure IF I was able to even find them, if you didn't want the challenge. Can have a dig about if you like. Was your plan to fix the lights up and sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be interested if you were able to locate and carry out the work, do you know if clear lenses are available also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But both need bonding. They aren't cheap either from memory. I'll have a dig around mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my pods is yellowed out. Is it possible to rectify? I do have UK headlights but I thought they were the same as pre-facelift with glass lenses?

Noz Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 They are almost identical. But UK and JSpec have different shaped casing and lenses. You can't swap them over. UK have electrical adjustments too. They look so similar, but they aren't. The yellow pod will clean up fine just use some auto glym resin polish on the outside of the plastic dome. It's only a few micron thick and you must use a cutting polish in order to remove material as some polishes just glaze and fill in micro cracks rather than cut. I've cleaned a few up over the years, it'll come up like new with some elbow grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike3.0 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Hi Noz, Would you happen to have the two bits within my photo? 1 x Clip and screw to hold inner cluster surround 2 x Sidelight cable/bulb holder, I've only got one but its completely shot. Anything you have would be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 I don't have any insert clips I'm afraid, but my advice is don't overly worry about those. The lights won't rattle around without them. I've had a few sets arrive to me for refurb without them in, they left the same and nothing seemed any different. The insert position isn't that critical. I guess you have facelift lights, as prefacelift have a flange type surface and no clip, only direct screw placement. Reckon I've got some old foggies mate. Let me dig around later today for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) Hi Noz, what clips are you after? I've got a few of the ones that go around the light that hold the lense on from some facelifts.
