R34 Parker Light Cover

[ryanSSS]

Hello all,

very new to this forum, and just bought a GTT two weeks ago, but i thing my suspension is too hard that the parker light cover (the dome shape one)inside the headlight has fallen off, anyone out there has experienced this issue? any idea how i can get it fixed? any help will be much appreciated.

does the car have aftermarket suspension? Lowered? My r34 came with factory option bilsteins and It handles and rides like a dream.

Regarding the headlight, if you mean the dome bubble thing that distributes the light from the parker, as far as I know you'd either need a whole new headlight or open your existing one up then glue the cover back on, there's a tutorial somewhere on the forum that shows you how to open it up because a lot of guys on here get a chalky build up on the inside of their headlights

good luck,

Depending on what type it is, majority of coilovers come with varying levels of damping adjustment and let you adjust the damping setting with a dial on the top of the struts

In saying that too a coilover will almost always seem harsher to ride on than a traditional shock and spring, on the upside your car will seem like it's riding on rails if setup is properly done

You might already know all of this already, but I don't know your personal technical knowledge

Yeah I did have that issue, It just clips back in however Im not sure how to do it, I just swapped out my lights.

Id say youd need to remove the lens.

Yeh, i am still playing around with my suspension setting to make the car goes better, i had the cover clipped back in but after one drive, its out again, this is pissing me off...... will try to glue it in this weekend, hopefully can get it in place, coz i dont wanna put the headlights in the oven....

how did you get inside to clip the cover back on?

Put your headlight into an oven, SAFELY heat it and clip it back on.

If you aren't confident, then DONT do it lol, they are worth too much to be playing around with them.

Take it to a headlight specialist that clean lenses, they'd know how, and maybe get them to clean the lense whilel they are at it lol
