vvteye Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 A while back I was led to believe that you couldn't get facelift Headlights in the UK-Spec... Well I just fitted my new UK-spec facelift headlights and I was wondering what you all thought of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 They look a lot like the last set I saw Edit: But the ones I saw were real UK spec with sidelights, they look more like J-Spec ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjodrell Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 They dont look like facelift lights to me. Facelft lights have the focus on the actual lights and not on the front of the lense cover , IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facelft lights have the focus on the actual lights and not on the front of the lense cover , IMHO I'm presuming they are "facelift style" following a refurb.

CardiffSupra Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Very nice Jon, Can't say iv seen many, if any glass facelifts. I should be getting my glass facelift lookalikes off Jon soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 No i think what Jon did was just swap the glass lens with the plastic lens on a set of facelifts, Hance them being glass facelifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 They are original Facelift headlights with UK spec glass lenses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 A while back I was led to believe that you couldn't get facelift Headlights in the UK-Spec You can't. However, you can graft some uk spec glass lenses onto facelift headlights - which I guess is what you've done here, is it? Facelift headlights have that nice smooth lens, without all the lines. You lose that if you fit the uk spec lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gzaerojon Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 They are original Facelift headlights with UK spec glass lenses! glass lenses don't fit j-spec backs though, and j-spec insides both pre facelift and facelift are different to uk insides too i would say they are the real deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gzaerojon Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 Real facelift lights wouldn't have those lines on the inside on the lens though. but there are no lines or markings on the highbeam reflector, so the markings on the lens would need to be there for beam pattern i would've thought?

Jake Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 original glass facelifts from toyota Yeah right. wow - didnt know about this.....what cars were these designed for cause no UK car came with them?They're not OE. Jon's made them up with facelift inners and UK lenses. They're clearly not facelift because they have the beam deflector pattern in the glass in front of the highbeam.
