Hi guys, is the top layer of the front headlight a replaceable part or do I need to order the entire headlight? Mine's starting to show its age (turning yellow, scratches etc.) so was hoping to replace just that part or get something that blends in with the car a bit better. If possible, what's the part number that I need to order / from where?

Thanks

Very common

Get a professional headlight lense restoration (one who takes the headlight apart and does the lenses on both sides, I've had this done. Was $180) if you're In Brisbane QLD "dans custom car lights" done mine.

Unfortunately the lenses can’t be replaced. You need the whole headlight assembly. Morimoto have made replacement lenses for the 370z & could make the same for the V36 but there is no guarantee. 
 

The yellowing can be cleaned up but mine has like spiderweb cracking in the lense which cannot be fixed, only replaced 😔

That's pretty easy to clear up. As said already, get a headlight restoration kit or get a pro to do it for you (pretty easy to find on Facebook).

I found the Philips kit pretty good. You'll also notice improved headlight output as your lenses are clear/transparent.

You'll find lots from the the US on ebay but they are for left hand drive cars and the headlights will blind on coming cars. So avoid them.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
