bradleyh_15 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Has anyone tried these? Before anyone says “just buy new” I have carbon inserts to go in a set so don’t want to get a new set just to split them. I also know that the carbon inserts aren’t to everyone’s taste. https://www.nengun.com/behrman/headlight-repair-lens-kit-jza80-supra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Im not sure on them. The pictures are really low res and I can't see the proper mounting brackets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayr Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 i think someone bought them before and said they didn't fit at all. had to sand away alot of the actual housing to get close to it. For the money they are you're better off buying new 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy52 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I don't have my housing back yet from being modified. When they come back I need to modify the steel rings to fit the carbon inserts. Then I may need to modify the carbon inserts to fit the housings. Now it seems I may have to modify the lenses to fit the modified inserts and housings. Then it'll either all look lovely, or I'll end up throwing the lot in the bin and getting bummed on a set of new ones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still doing the odd one. My painter is the main issue. He takes fking ages. I'm going to offer a few last refurbs. Got a few more sets of rings to sell before tooling gets handed to their new owner so thought I'd offer a refurb at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delboy52 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 When my housings come back I'll update this thread regarding the fitment. These are the facelift version of Nengun's replacement Behrman headlight lens. https://www.nengun.com/behrman/headlight-repair-lens-kit-jza80-supra 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well. I'm adding a vent in the back now too to help fogging. I might starting painting them myself again now weather is warmer. Bit difficult doing matt when it's cold, can cause paint to go milky. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delboy52 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thanks for the offer, but I’d prefer to test fit them to the housings they’ll be eventually bonded to. My housings are with Harry at the moment having some upgrades fitted. He’s had them for a while so I’m hoping he’ll get around to them soon amongst the other orders he has in the last headlight group buy.

Delboy52 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Hi Harry Yes, I only knew mine where in the queue. Great to hear they are getting seen to soon. Feels like I have some fitting challenges to deal with when they are back but it’s all the fun right? Have a nice time in Turkey mate!

The new lens on the left side by side with the old lens on the right I could see no difference. They have every notch and screw hole that the OE lenses have.

I also had Harry’s projector mod done for the high and low beams and the inserts needed modifying to fit those. I also have Noz’s headlight steel rings and they needed modding to fit the carbon inserts! But I got it all put together eventually. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
