Pixelfill Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 doubt it - I thought the facelifts were only JSpecs. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz1 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 so does that mean people with the uk spec cars cant have the facelift lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I would have thought they could if wanted, I mean they're only lights at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 these uk spec lights are they the black ones (facelight versions) No the UK Supra lights have chrome inners and glass lens. All facelift Supras are Japanese models, no facelift UK/US/European Supras were ever produced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 They can if they want mate, prob just have to modify the bulb holders etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 i know but the facelifts look better IMO:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Imo2! But then, facelifts on a UK will make it look obviously modified to anyone who knows.. depends on what look your after dont it! Uks look good with Glass, But my 95's gonna be Jap facelift look including the black lights.. Facelift cars are the best looking Supras, and the rarest/expensive and thats the look im after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 so does that mean people with the uk spec cars cant have the facelift lights? Facelift headlights can be fitted on the UK Supra, likewise the UK headlights can be fitted on J-spec Supras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 All facelift Supras are Japanese models, no facelift UK/US/European Supras were ever produced. Think they sold them in the US as they actually had 'facelift' models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I fitted some new UK spec ones and a couple of days after there was slight condensation in one, but it went and hasn't come back since. Probably just as they've been on a shelf somewhere for a long long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Think they sold them in the US as they actually had 'facelift' models. They did as they went on to '98 in the states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I fitted some new UK spec ones and a couple of days after there was slight condensation in one, but it went and hasn't come back since. Probably just as they've been on a shelf somewhere for a long long time My new ones did the same too - just leave them in for a couple of days, it goes away, certainly wouldn't bother ordering a new one!

Pig Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 How much were they? Also you coming to the colchester meet? Would be good to see you and give the girls a chance to meet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Think they sold them in the US as they actually had 'facelift' models. My mistake, forgetting the US Supras were sold there longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 How much were they? Also you coming to the colchester meet? Would be good to see you and give the girls a chance to meet! About £240 from Steve Manley, well worth it in my books and you can flog the old ones for an easy £100. You have to give me a ride in the new beast!

Conrad Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Anyone got a pic of facelight lights? The (yellow) headlights on my Sup are the only thing I don't like on it, makes the Sup look like a frog with bulging eyes imo! I was thinking about the eyelid option but was unsure.... Facelifts may be what I'm after.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
