Does anyone know a place in Melbourne that can fix my headlight?

My left headlight has a crack in rubber seal somewhere, everytime I wash my car, water gets into the headlight, then it eventually fogs up the WHOLE headlight....

So I need a place that can clean the inside of the lens and seal the headlight properly.

Thanks :P

I had the same issue with my R34 head lights. Was a real pain in the ass because they used to fog up all the time. I had to do some repairs on my head lights. They are made of 2 parts, the lense and backing with some clips and a shit load of black sticky crap holding them together. I heated it with a hair dryer and pulled them apart (with a lot of force) then cleaned and fixed them. I then re-filled the grove with silastic and resealed it. I also filled the outsides to make sure it was 100%. It's a bit of a job but you can do it.

You'll find on the base of the lights there are some breathers too, make sure the rubber guards are on as water can get in there.

Well, I was thinking about doing it myself, but I kinda don't want to be toying around with a headlight that's worth like $500 :(

I found this place in Keysborough, Melbourne Headlight Exchange. They quoted me about 65-85 to open the headlight, polish it and seal it, does that sound ok?

Do they do other cars for that price? Name and phone number please!

Pretty sure they do, as I found them through the Supra forum lol.

But they require you to take off your own headlights.

I've had them repaired cracked glass on R31 headlight's before. I don't think the car-type is relevant, they work on headlights, they keep stock of the more common models headlights but they can repair too....

    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
    • Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee   
    • I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
