Hi guys
I will try to polish my headlights - it's the stock ones. Just want to be 100% sure that they are made from plastic. Can anyone confirm this? :-) It's this product I will give a try http://www.headlight-restoration-kit.com/t...estorer-review/ |

From exterior styling forum:
For the past three years I have used the Sylvania Silver Stars (high beam bulbs) model number 9005 for both the low and high beams. To fit the low beam receptor you have to grind out the two ridges ( inside top of plastic connector between the two metal pins). The high beam bulb version does not have the black cap on end of the bulb which diffuses the light, but also reduces the brightness. Fortunately, the design of the glass headlight diffuses the light appropriately for low beam application. Lighting is brighter, more appealing, and signifcantly improves down the road viewing. With high beams on it is difficult to imagine ever needing stronger light. IMO the Silver Stars provide an excellent combination of brighter white light with subtle blue tint while staying reasonably close to the original maximum wattage specifications. They maintain the original light and wiring configuration of the Celica and reasonably priced for the lighting upgrade they provide with just a few minutes effort to modify and install. I have had them installed for three years in both my Lexus (projector) and Celica (conventional) and have not yet had to replace a bulb. There is also a step up with a Silver Star Ultra style bulb but I have not tried them because the Silver Stars I purchased originally have been excellent. -------------------- I spent my money on wild women, partying, gambling, expensive timepieces, and my 6GC - the rest of it I wasted! |
