Soarer headlight, wtf?

Postby headshotnz » Mon Sep 12, 2011 3:18 pm

One of the last things I need for a wof..

My one is blown.

Repco dont do one,

Toyota can get one in for $160...

Quick reading on the internets tells me an HB3 will fit, with a bit of filing.

I shall try my luck...

Sounds the same as Supra headlights, I've done it, file off a groove and it works fine.

Yup, do that. There is a Phillips bulb that works, not many places carry it though

1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

So it's not an HB3?

As in Supras and these have some sort of special genuine bulb?

The JZX90 is the same, had to buy a 9005 and a 9006 to get even close to something that would work, then clip off half the lugs to get it to fit into the housing...

ps. light bulb codes may or may not be correct because I'm not a parts geek with a head full of numbers :P

I have a feeling it was due to the soarer being designed in the US.

Dunno, since the originals are 9005J's, but yeah, everyone just seems to trim tabs to fit replacements
