Glass Headlights

Post by Sparky75 »

I noticed a lot of you are on about your plastic headlights and the annoying yellow mess they end up like.<BR>my MX also has plastic ones, but i replaced one as it got really bad, and all UK cars have glass in. Now I could get hold of plenty off scrap cars so was wondering if anyone might want a set?

i was under the impression glass headlights were just a myth. if there is some way you can prove you have glass headlights, that would be nice. how much are they over there?

It was the times that cars would be made with plastic headlights. If you got them I'd love a pair of glass headlights. Let us know a price later on

Whats a projector headlight?? oh and another thing.. UK cars have the sidelights (1st position on the switch) inside the main headlamps, not on the front bumper. mine has both as it was converted. the bumper style ones are not legal in england cos they are orange and must be white. Stupid country i live in. so if i get you some they may have an extra hole for a bulb,

About JSPEC mx-3 (probably they don't call mx-3 in the same way in japan), if you can tell me the name it's called over there, I'll do some search and ask them if those things are really available over in japan. By the way, I'm japanese, and I sure speak japanese.<P>bungo

I believe it's called Presso or AZ-3. Here is web page dedicated to the MX-3 in Japan <A HREF="http://plaza18.mbn.or.jp/~garrr/" TARGET=_blank>http://plaza18.mbn.or.jp/~garrr/</A> <P>Later,<BR>Dee. :D
