Looking high and low for MR-S headlight

[jChin]

Hi everyone,

This headlights problem has been haunting me since 2 months ago when I sent the headlight to restoration. It did help at first, my headlights looked as good as new when the restoration was just done. However, only after a few days I notice that the lights are blurring up, and now it is worse than the condition before I sent it for restoration. The shop owner claimed that it could last at least 2 years and it has barely been 2 months. I did went back to the place and had it redone without extra cost, but after few days it's back to the square one. I think that the only choice I have now is to get a new set.

I would appreciate if anyone could advise me on where to get a set of headlights, be it original, used, aftermarket or whatever, as long as in good condition. Mine is looking so bad right now:dong:

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Joanne

Found, thanks everyone.

hi joanne, typically mosts shops are just pulling a fast one (restoration). there is a proper technique but they are just not practicing it. not sure if yours is gone from rescuing.(appears so)

some of us (MR-S) are running the newer lights (projectile), which is post 2003 face-lifted but some wirings adjustments are required. new lights pricing are as 1198 mentioned, thereabouts. they can be purchased from wing hin toyota (jln loke yew) in KL (if you are in KL/PJ), if you are in nearer JB, 1198 could help.

if you want a the same lights as your current~pre 03 (if you dont' want wiring hassles or on budget constraints), there is a use set (good cond), that i can presuade the owner to let go (affordable).

he just changed to the newer looking lights as he just got the modding bug (green MR-S). his previous lights are still at a very good cond. (car milage itself was only 3Xk).

we did the install at my place (install party).

ps. your problem is likely compounded by the very fact that exposure to high heat/sun'ing.
this problem itself occurs not only to toyota but also older gen BMW, merc.

so give the spyder some need shade away from hot heat days

Thanks koolspyda, I'm interested with the used set as current budget doesn't allow me to spend that much for the headlights. Please pm the price and if possible, pictures.

From the pic it may appear that there is condensation and fading might not really be the problem...

Check the rear to ensure all the sockets are properly locked in to keep vapour from entering

condesation appears if there is a crack where a little rain water sips in or car is parked in extreme weather changes. cool outdoor mornings & hot extreme afternoons. there is a little drain plug (on the underside of the headlamp to release the trapped condensation.

i'm sure you may have come across this.

thats the proper procedural step (noob) ways. the problem with several local restoration shops is they 'promise' yet dont seem to follow up their claims. complaints are often posted at forums. sometimes their lack sure attitude is appalling.

i told the owner of parting his use headlights, currently he's busy with his new restaurant opening.
you can deal with him direct. maybe use your charms to nego price. i dont have the photos since its not mine.

all i can say his used set is in pretty good cond.
