R33 Headlights

[Krishy]

Hey guys

I did a long hard search and couldnt find a thread that would answer my question so i am posting up this thread. Please give me the link if i have missed something in my search.

All i am after is to know if i can bolt on a S2 R33 headlights straight onto a R33 S1. If so then cool and if not they what do i have to do in order to have them in as i hate the yellow grit on the headlights.....polishing them off and it comes back after 1 month or so.....is there another alternative to this.....just need some help guys

thanks

S2 dont fit into s1 need to do a whole front conversion to just make lights fit

did you clean the lense properly should last longer than a month

i use silvo to clean mine

[Luciano]

when you say whole front conversion Steve, do you mean L&R front panels, front bar & centre grill (and lights of course), or is there even more to it?

s2 fronts do look pretty nice!

My friend just puts my headlight covers in the oven, comes out beautiful!!! or just use polish or something.. it works for me.

you dont have to change fenders or anything.. but i would just rather spending the money puttin a nice front kit on the car then s2 parts, i know ive been through it twice finding parts. I dont think you would have any hassle putting s2 front headlights on because they are the same shape just different inside?? have you got a s2 front bar yet??

i am getting my kit on the weekend......from another mate of mine who has a S1.....i always thought that the s2 lights would bolt up to s1 body.....ahh well and kahli what is the deal with putting your lights in the oven....

lol well my s2 headlights go yellow same with my mates gtr and he puts them in the oven lol makes them look new again!!

[Krishy]

never heard of putting the lights in the oven though....ahh well i guess keep cutting and polishing it is the only reasonable way to do it

[Madaz]

I fail to see how putting them in the oven will clear them up but cook the dirt on

also its a bigger job taking your lights out than cleaning them properly

and yes need new front guards also more work than needed just get s3 gtr headlights

[Krishy]

so s3 GTR lights will bolt straight on and i am guessing they are good!!!

[slowGTR]

just out of curiosity ...how much does a s2 whole front end conversion go for these days? does it include guards?

[Madaz]

Yeah pretty sure s3 gtr lights bolt straight in but there heaps dear i mean heaps

[Krishy]

Madaz is it going to be worth it though as i have been quoted $110 for the left s1 headlight

[Lil Miss 32]

payed 110 for the my middle guard coz i had my custom front bar on but decided just to put stock bar back on. front bar were going for about 550 for s2 but i picked mine up for 250 including a s2 bonnet and a fender hehe of wait and a indecator with that lol and also got a s2 front bar from a guy for 290 with interior parts and a crash bar. Man im good finding stuff from people lol.

Headlights are going for 150 each at wreckers.. i need a right hand one <----series2

Personaly i dont think you need a new one just clean the old ones properly

[Luciano]

thats it

Silvo or Autosol!

i reckon i polish mine about twice a year with the stuff, and they come out great and stay nice and clear!

[Krishy]

I have been using the Kitten Cut and Polish stuff and it does make it a lot clear but only for a month or so.......can you get hold of Silvo or Autosol at places like motorquipe or autopro

[Luciano]

Silvo you could get at bunnings, even supermarkets stock it i reckon.

Autosol > Sprint Auto sells it

so s3 GTR lights will bolt straight on and i am guessing they are good!!!
