hey,

i have a rather big question (which is probably going to turn around and bite me, but you get that)

the friend who crashed my car tried to fix thigns on the cheap and bought a non xenon head light for my car. my old xenon still works great but the cover was smashed.

I dont want to connect the new headlight up since its non Xenon and the light differences will be completely out of wack (and i need to change the plugs to connect it)

now, is it possible to remove covers on lights and switch them over? or i it better to buy a conversion kit or just bite the bullet and save for another xenon light...

Yeah you can stick the light in the oven for a few minutes @ ~100degC and the glue will melt. You should be able to pry off the lens and transfer it to your broken housing (assuming it's just the lens).

Not sure if the lens are physically different (Xenon vs. Halogen headlights).

yeah he fixed it all, but didnt listen to me about differences with the lights. eventually going to need a new bonnet and bumper. but i dont mind that, the bumper was a bit cracked when i got it.

But yeah, the lights im peeved about

haha i know i'll need them, prefer to get both done since the working xenons have cracked brackets so they wobble a bit.

But got to get the steering rack/pump fixed first.

how much are you looking at selling them for?

    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
    • Everyone wants an ECU they can plug onto their engine, modified or not, and put of the box it just runs perfectly like a brand new modern engine straight off the production line. Too many people just don't understand things like the base maps are as you said, just to give a starting point, and then you need to spend time getting it right for your vehicle.   I wonder if the people wanting it are the same ones who'll just buy a chip for a "stage 2 tune" online and then wonder why their engine blew up...
    • Quite possible! And well worth checking out, as it will be more durable than paint
