Japanese Square headlight Conversion

[joshb]

I bought a set of cheap USA spec square headlight set but the main lights were pants and OEM RHD square lights fetch stupid money so I had a wonder round the local scrappy with a tape measure looking for inspiration! I noticed 80's'/90's jap type cars such as most with pop up headlights or 4x4 often had a similar size headlights so I bought some including the bowls and some adjuster screws and springs from them and a few other similar cars while I was there. I just lined the up jap light adjuster screws then drilled and tapped the VW metal light holder and fitted the bolts and springs so they are fully adjustable. dapped some copper grease on adjusted em up and that its. Passed the MOT in July no worrys, great lights too. It was really easy! Mine were off a toyota supra, (£10 the pair) and are thicker on one side than the other ( see pics) most jap lights of this type are uniform in depth. I thought it would look better but in reality it doesnt make any difference. see pics on how I fiited them. The sides are slightly rounded and not square like the vw ones but I dont think its noticable or looks odd

thats great and really useful. Once its done you can just buy a spare set of similar lamps and have them ready without having to trawl the net and pay stupid money ..............
