I'd like to know this too.

I cant imagine it'd be cheap! Those things are made using moulds, i dont think it'd be easy to just take your old lens in, and get them to "knock up a new one" !

I'm sure there is a place ... a spray painter friend of mine told me about it one night when I was winging to him about wanting new lights cause of how dodgy mine are ...

i'll give him a call ... see what he says ... I don't think I'm dreaming it up but you never know

so no one knows a better of cleaning the inside than using a microwave or blowtorch?

hey ... I spoke to my mate ... the name of the shop is plastiques or plastics <--- something like that ... there in Arncliffe NSW ... he reckons you can get them made up for between $100-150 each (which ain't to bad really)

Apparently you either take your lenses/ lights in to them or send them in and they will have them ready in a day or so ...

hope this helps you guys

i actually saw on a jap website once detailed instructions whch involved drilling a small hole, injecting a cleaning solution into the headlamp...i can't find it now.... It was R34 specific too..

does it easy to clean with small hole?

are you gonna epoxy it after it?

[Mr Eps]

oh my god sorry i've just read the entire thread you guys are retards like unbelievable!!!!

ok, the reason your lights look like ass on the inside is cos of corrosion from the elements, it happens,

drilling a hole in your light will allow more water vapour into your lights thus making the matters worse as condensation builds, not to mention cause your headlight globes to blow due to condensation / oil residue on in your headlight unit...

so please, silicon seal this back up and admit you stuffed up. cut your losses, and start again with a wiser idea...

you must now take the headlight apart,

all you need is 80degree heat and 8 minutes max, check it, you should be able to wedge the tip of a butterknife in to get you started... if it's still not budging, put it back and check, use the buter knife to get you started then gently GENTLY GENTLY pry the unit apart with your big manly hands.

if your oven won't fit it then use a hairdryer / heatgun, once you've got it apart, polish it all up with a plastics polish, make sure you do this by hand otherwise you will melt the delicate nature of the plastic.

once it's clean on both sides, reseal the unit all back together by DELICATELY using a silicone sealant or sikaflex...

don't stuff this up, if you're worried you're going to stuff it up then don't do it... MAKE SURE THE UNIT IS 100% sealed before it goes back, and remember, as with all glue and sealant, LESS IS MORE

DON'T OVER DO THIS.

here is my method for a permanent fix up the plastic only oxidizes on the outside from my experience.
