The Headlight Issue

[Konrad]

Everyone knows the r33 owners are pissed about their headlight lenses getting all yellow/cracked. I just was wondering what people are doing about it?? I've done what most owners do which is polish up the outside with metal polish, but the plastic itself has many fine cracks in it, and the inside surface is yellowed anyway.

Is there a way to get new lenses custom made (like in perspex or something) because i assume you cannot buy jlenses aftermarket.

What i really really want is a setup like this:

But i've searched high and low but cannot find them for r33's, although i do recall the autostyle kit for the r32, but that doesn't help as i dont think they did ones for the r33 :

So yeah, has anyone come up with a way to get rid of the horrible lenses that doens't involve a $1000 set of new lights or something??

there is a place in Blacktown called plastifusion (i think thats it) anyway they recondition headlights and tail lights. not 100percent sure but i think they are on sunnyholt road.... look them up, try to call them. see if they can help you out.

I've heard heeps about aftermarket lights for the R33, and ever time i've herd there a fair bit over your $1k mark so i think for now were all stuck with these shitty ones. I'm actully thinking of doing a S2 conversion in a S1 they seem alot nicer. Any comments on that guys, do you think it will fit???

Not unless you get the bonnet to suit.
