Hello Mate! Its in asia!!! Have you started the import process?

Retrofitting these headlights before shipping them out…

Working on the headlights tonight…waiting on my D2S projectors to arrive!

I didn't think JDM 95s came with dual tanks - did someone do the dual tank upgrade?

It’s not a JDM unit! Mine is from UAE!

JDM has chrome grill and mirrors/door handles. My PFP is a JDM model in Europe.UK/Global model uses black plastic trim instead.

Yea…the previous owner added that chrome…chrome was very popular in the philippines in the 2000s sadly…Vin and chassis code places it as a UAE model

Ah sorry, I was reading the wrong guy's signature line.

I was once looking at an ex-Saudi Arabian VZJ95 for sale in the UK which I think had twin tanks. I love how the round clock gets switched for the sub-tank fuel gauge.

Good luck with the build.

I have a soft spot for the glow of the H4? halogen headlights. Can I replace the bulb inside the stock headlight or do you have to buy new glass H4?

Bulb should be replaceable! Do you have cracked lenses?

 

[FullyLitLED]

All done!!! Because the weather in asia is humid I opted not to wire in the bixenon part…I run it in every retrofit but because I can’t overnight these parts, I will wire some aux fogs as the hi-beams so I am relying on no mechanical parts to get the hi-beam on. Maybe I am overthinking but…it is the decision for the time being

The post 2000 90 used a plastic downgrade but my 1997 has undamaged front glass ones. Any recommendations on bulbs I could stick in?
