Umm if your headlights are turning yellow...why not clean them? Use a product called Astroshield on them...it will make them look like new...can be found at your local Discount Autoparts or try Pep Boys.
Now if you really wanna get cool...buy the glass Euro headlights for the 240SX (called the 200SX over there)...they are around $800 bux so beware

hehe those are the glass headlights that came on the european 200sx that NISSANSPDR was talking about. they are pretty hard to find over here and when you do find them, they are going to cost you a pretty penny

the european 200sx is the same as our 240sx. they just call it the 200sx. so those lights come on the european s14 200sx, same as our s14 240sx

The reason they call it the 200SX is because of the motor...2.0 Liters Turbo...so it's a 200SX...it's identical to the Silvia in all respects...
If you have the money to shell out...get those headlights
:devil:

ohh thakx for the clear up i was gona say the 200sx over here gots the same headlights as the 240sx thats strange :confused: :confused: :rolleyes: but ya all clear now. getting the money for those glass euro lamps is gona cost alot less then getting a conversion for my s14 i supose. and everyone and their mama is getting a dam conversion even on their lil civics. i think the headlights now look good just need to look newer.
:( :( bad news is ive had zero luck finding anywhere that has them :cry:

well its the typical headlight trick. you have to put it in the oven, and bake it for sheesh i forgot how long. can't do it for too long or else you'll melt the whole sucker. but after you get the glue to melt for long enough, you can pry the sucker open. then you have to mask the reflective material, after your done painting, you have to get like glue and glue it back together. ask jspec he'll know what to do.

yes it does feel like its going to break when you try to take the corner lamp off the main headlight. When I took my corner lamp off a couple of weeks ago to change the bulb in it, I thought I was going to break it taking it off. but the easiest way I found out to do it is first remove the main screw up top that you can see. then at the rear of the corner light it is held on to the fender with 2 small tabs. just pull at the rear of the corner lamp and that will pop out. then the part that I think your talking about that is going to break is where its connected to the main headlight down below the screw that you originally took out. what I did is sort of pushed the corner light to the side as far as I could and then stuck a screw driver in there and just pried the corner light off. It is connected with a ball joint type thing. I'm at school right now but I'll take some pics of how to do it when I get home if you want.

ooooooo, if your talkina bout not knowing how to take the corner lamp off, its easy. like what j spec said. on the top corner of the headlight facing the fender. there is a screw. that screw keeps the corner light from falling off. so all you need to do is unscrew that one screw and you just pop the light right off. its held on by a ball cup thing that is connected to the headlight. it takes like 2 minutes to take off and put back on. its really that easy. :cool:

OMG I want Euro lights now!! WHY DO WE GET SCREWED OVER LIKE THAT???
BTW: Are you sure the euro-spec headlights are glass? Because it seems to me that glass would be too fragile a material to put on the front of a car...one little pebble at 40mph will probably smash it.

yeah they are really glass.
SE-R WolfPac, Here's some pics to help you get the corner lights off so you can get the headlights off.
1. remove this screw

2. this tab is holding 2 plastic tabs on the corner light. just pull on the corner light and it will pop out from behind this tab.
http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/1133502.jpg
3. do what I said earlier and move the corner light as far away from the headlight as you can and stick a screwdriver in between the corner light and the headlight. then push the handle of the screwdriver towards the headlight and the little ball joint thing holding the corner light on will pop out. here's a pic of where the ball joint is connected on the headlight. once you have it removed, you can get to the remaining 2 headlight screws, which can be seen in the pic.
