mine are plastic glass/lens is this right? clear plastic, looked on egay and can get new clear lamps complete for £44 + £12 postage each.

can you remove the plastic or is it just glass ones?


just to add both my lights adjust up and down via switch and stay equal to each other, would this still be the case if adjusters were broke in one?

they are plastic lenses, egay one's are after market one's that have seen on there, if the motor has gone on one just have to rest them both seperate then should be at same place on both sides.

? both my headlights adjust up and down level with each other so a miss why the adjusters may be gone,

[rustym95]

sorry, broken light it would still be moving, so no just clip it in new one should be fine.

ok thanks will look at it at the weekend, does anyone else think their lights are naff ? my highbeam is excellent but dip beam is pretty poor even with new brighter bulbs.

[rustym95]

its the same on all, get some night brakers they are better, also check the allignment, should be better then,

i took my headlights apart put them in the oven and 200 for 7-10 mins and they will pull apart and then get them warm again and just push back together as for the broken parts mine were the same and i plastic welded them back together very easy to do the plastic welder looks like the tool used to soder wire but use it to slowly melt the plastic back were it is broke and i will hold like new

well thought i had dropped on a bargain yesterday, went to local scrappy and found a saloon with new hella gm clear lights in, well impressed at £40 for the pair including motors, bulbs etc,
took rubber boots off and cool no movement in either so brought them,
got home and changed new brighter bulbs into them and bang n/s must have been just holding on the adjuster, damm it, so then set about having to strip new lens off and tried to super glue the adjuster but it would not hold, so put bck together as needed car for work, only moving a tiny fraction now, when i get more time i will strip again and plastic weld the adjuster this time.

things are not always a bargain as if it it don't work then i will just have to but a new matched pair of lights,

on that does anyone know where i can get lexus front lights for it? may be same or cheaper compared to new ones.

i did a temp fix with a glue stick think it is still holding did it a year ago on mate car, just heat the glue stick with lighter and put on the crack it pushed its self back together and stuck, could try that but no bet's on it lasting.

thanks for that, i have a spare set of lights disassembled now so going to look at making a solid ally block threaded to take the adjuster bar then somehow fix the socket for fixing the lamp side to it,

when i can stay in my workshop without heat lol
