just curious to see if anyone know if the M35 series 2 headlights will fit in the series 1?

has anyone tried this?

im thinking of getting a set from the later m35 and mod the internals such as put different projector, halos and demon eyes in (and maybe audi style LEDS) and installing them into my 02 model.

Thanks for your input.

Justin

Alex putting series two on a series one wont fit. Putting series one on a series two will fit with a gap like you said.

The series two are slightly bigger so you will need to change bonnet, bumper and grill.

Anyone here know the easiest way about the headlight conversion to right-hand traffic on a M35?

There really is no easy way as such. I opened the original headlight, cut a bigger hole to reflector and installed Hella Bi-Halogen projector to the remains of reflector and painted it black. There is enough space in back of original headlight unit that height level adjustment (which is mandatory here in Finland) still works with no issues. I'm quite happy with the result!

You might want to eat them words Mark. It has been done on a Pascal Metallic gay blue one in Victoria....that car is dead now.

Parts needed: Front Guards, Front Bar, Front Bonnet, Front Grill and of coarse the headlights.

Front guards were not changed

Nokonzok.... Very nice conversion. Just one question, can you see the original globe holes in the reflector after the projector is fitted?

I'm thinking of doing something similar as it would cost too much to change to series2 hlights especially with all the extra panels required.

Thanks

Justin.

i mean craig that the series two light wouldnt work on the stock series one bumper. Naturally bonnet, bumper and grill would have to be changed. So i was right.

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
