Where To Buy R33 S3 Gtr Headlights

[TommO]

Ok, firstly, never ever ever leave your parkers unplugged from your headlight for a couple of days. I did (waiting to get time to go up and get a replacement bulb), and somehow water managed to get into the headlight... and now, it fogs up constantly (with water on the inside of the lens cover), and also it's cleaned the inside of the headlight, so the one that fogs up is now crystal clear (when you can see past the condensation), and the other one has a very slight yellow tinge. You can imagine how annoyed I am about all this.

Anyway, although i'm going to try and take the lens cover off my headlights (using an oven etc), just wondering if that doesn't work, where can I source new R33 S3 GTR headlights from? They have to be zenon... I have all the hid parts etc

(yes I don't imagine they'll be cheap but the fogging is pissing me off)

So pissed off lol, the headlights were perfect as a week ago...

Hahahahhaha this would annoy the crap out of you being such a perfectionist with cars.

I suggest the usual places, but they will take all your coin the moots.

JustJap & other jap spares places.

Possibly Nissan themselves - lube up before you ask for a price there though.

Yeah man, I'm perfectionist when it comes to cars (as you know haha), so this frustrates the hell out of me.. everytime I look at it I get teh shits lol

I'll give justjaps a go, and eventually try Nissan themselves. Anyone happen to have a part number? I was hoping it might be cheaper as I already have the HID components etc, just need the actual glass and plastic backing. Most likely not though

That site looks awesome mate - thanks! I didn't think there'd be a company that does this kinda stuff!

I just spoke to them and it's $150 + GST per unit... that includes taking them apart, polishing, new seals etc etc. 2 days turnaround for the work + shipping time.

Pretty good deal, I'll get both done and they'll look brand new (the non - buggered one looks awesome at the moment but I'd prefer if they matched spot on)

Can you please let me know how you go with this mob, I've got S3 headlights in my S2 (not setup as xenon units, just normal headlights) and they have a yellowish tinge on the inside and the overall appearance is slightly milky and cloudy, they aren't as bad as some I've seen, but I'd like them crystal clear and schmick.

I'd have a go myself, as I have done the oven thing with some civic headlights, but I don't want to risk ruining these as they would be damn hard to find and cost a fortune!

Where are you located? Can you let me know the complete cost and turn-around time and if you are happy with the outcome?!?

Thanks

Michael

I'm located in Sydney.

Once I've done the work (in a couple of weeks, gotta time it with a week where I don't need my car as it's a daily driver), i'll post back here with how I go.
