Wouldn't a heat gun be just as affective, V35 factory lights aren't cheap don't wanna risk the money but sticking them in an oven?

Yes, a heat gun would be much better than in an oven. You can get temp set heat guns for under $100 and the good thing is that you only heat up the area you want to. Not saying oven baking is not good.

Why bother trying to convert US spec ones to RHD?

Link for chrome finish- http://www.importmonster.com.au/view?url=http://page17.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/v226738996&thumb=http://f7.auctions.c.yimg.jp/f44batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/7/2/0/5/carstudio2006-thumb-1329293216359153.jpg&title=V35 CCFL

And if you ask the guys nicely at IM the can get in contact withe the store and source the blacked out version.

Seems cheaper and easier to do that than get them from the states and then have to pull them apart before you even put them on the car.

+1 if they have them for the sedan!

This is a link for the sedan ones, I have a set on my car already.:whistling:

Low beam is H7, so you cant use original HID setup, you will need to get an aftermarket set.

On the plus side if you are running the aftermarket setup on your factory lights, like I was, you would only need to buy new globes.:cheers:

Chrome doesn't look too great man, I'd be looking into it further.

My car and wheels are silver so I want to keep it consistent. If I were to go black housing, then I would want to do a make over and it's money worth spent somewhere else.

Hopefully someone can start a group buy soon, it's frustrating looking at the driver side headlights... :(

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
