[PM-R33]

Oh true? Hmm they are still freaking dear for what they are. But yeah i'm so keen to buy some new ones. The insides of them are rooted.

I have a set for $500 but the bottom lugs are broken.

[-FIGJAM-]

did anyone ever find out if we could get glass lights?

nissan wants from $700-$749 last time i checked

i got a brand new set of KUDOS much cheaper than anywhere i checked (mines S1)

quick delivery and car looks like new now

and i can say even with stock halogens i can actually see the road and signs , best investment i made so far on my r33

My car was repaired 2 months ago, apparently they paid over $1100 for a new S2 replacement headlight from nissan (telling fibs I think). way too much if you ask me

[PM-R33]

Yeah that sounds about right man, they are f**king dear through Nissan. I still want new ones for mine

LOL I'll give you guys a hint, KEEP AN EYE ON EBAY IN AMERICA.

I picked up a close-to-new pair for $150 USD shipped to me in Sydney ! $50 of that was shipping !! A lot of yank importers do what importers do here, they go to all the wreckers over in Japan and grab lots of parts, stuff it all into containers and ship them back to the US and sell the parts off. The good thing for us is, they dont have many Skylines over there, if any !!

When I came across those lights, the (dumb) seller didnt even know what car they were off, all he knew was they were originally off a Nissan. He listed them with a starting bid of 99cents, the only other people that would buy them are 240SX (200sx / Silvia) owners that use them for a headlight conversion.....and they're mostly after series one lights as the shape is more suited for what they want it for.....bloody yanks....wanna-be Skylines.. LOL

Anyways, I have 2 spare pairs of S2 headlights besides the pair currently on the car and neither pair cost me anything over $200 a pair from the states. None of them has any fogginess to them....crystal clear like glass.

So yeah, make a habit of keeping an eye on Ebay over there.

[PM-R33]

So are you selling the other sets.....

Any particular ebay supplier in the states you'd recommend?

I just keep 'Skyline' , 'GTR' and related searches under FAV SEARCHES in my Ebay profile. Make sure you are on the American Ebay when you save them under that section - otherwise it'll only search in the Oz Ebay. Then I have a browse once every night or two after work. You still have to put in some effort...even for bargains !

As with my other sets, I would much prefer to keep them as spares considering we all know what a b*tch they are to come by. However, my advice is to keep watch as they're beginning to pop up more frequently now compared to a couple of years back, I see them come up on average once or twice a month, the last set I saw on USA EBay about 3 weeks ago went for USD $280 - I was going to do a last second ALL-OUT bid but went out with a chick and totally forgotten about it LOL... shit happens.
