90-93 G50 headlight upgrade

[DrewQ45]

I can't believe that a model that ran for three years has no headlight upgrades. In all of JDM land, there must be something.

And no, I won't switch to a 94' front end just for some headlamps.

Talk to me people!!!

look at other cars that have similar dimensions in the headlamp area and do some custom lights

I've been jealously admiring your lights for too long! How about sending me yours and I can saw off the inner corners to make it fit.

Luckily in 2002 I acquired brand new assemblies from a wreck they had less than 50 miles on them.

The first night was unbelievable how good the new oem lights with standard bulbs were.

77k and almost 5 years later the pits and internal film is very obvious at night.

Headlights have a usable life and that is ~~ equal to warranty.

Why they must be armored! Extend the life indefinitely.

Any suggestions?

Just a tiny part of the reason a $50k car sells for $10-12K after 6 years........things are not as they were brand new and it will cost you $20k to return them to as new because only brand new parts will do that.

This is all I got:



I don't know if the clear ones are for a 1990-1993 or 1994-1996.

The crystal ones pictured are for a '94-'96

I have heard that with a bit of elbow grease and some wet/dry paper you can turn the stock lights on the '90-'93 to crystals...

While you have the lenes off, you could rejuvenate the interior foil.....Maybe get them plasi-chromed? http://www.specialtychromedplastics.com/

Remove the lenses by filling them with boiling water(This softens the sealant so you can pull the lens off the headlight assembly without breaking it)If that doesn't work, you could try baking them in the oven at low temp for 5-10 minsThis has been done many times on Conquest tail lights.
