Corsair headlight change??
« on: Jul 26, 2005, 07:35PM »
Hey all, I'm after some advice, hope someone can help me out  :)

Wasn't sure where to post this but thought style would be most appropriate.

I was wanting to know if I could change my headlights to Pintara ones without too much trouble, I don't want to fit the corsair grille back in and I think that the shape of the Pinny ones looks heaps better. I am going to leave the corsair park lights there so I just need to know if the Pintara headlights would line up with the park lights and wont stick out.  I'm basically wondering if the headlights will bolt straight in.
I had a bit of a look but wasn't really sure where to get info on this so any help/opinions muchly appreciated.

Also is there any difference between the series one and two pinny headlights?

thanks guys, Angie  ;)

I imagine they'd fit. Everything apart from the obvious cosmetics should be the same.

The bolt holes on the radiator support panel are the same, and I'd think they'd line up with the parkers, but there is a filler panel below the lights on Pintaras which would need modifying to fit the Corsair, as it doesn't go as far back as the bottom part of the grille on the Corsair.

I'm sick of my knob going all floppy and loose in my hand  :P

K yeah will do, the only thing is that like you said he changed the full front end not just the headlights.
I think it should work cause Jono said that the holes on the radiator support are the same, so I'll just hope the rest lines up okay.

yeh i looked into doing exactly that. its do-able as far as i could see but you have to cut bits off the end of a pintara filler panel and work out a way of attatching it at each end. my only other concern was that the outer edge of corsair headlights mount to a seperate plate whereas pintara ones mount straight to the filler panel. but if your lucky that'll be roughly the same spot.

if you find a pintara in your colour wrecking privately you could probably pick up 2 quarter panels and cornering lights for about 100-150 bucks, that would save you alot of hassle and look better imo.

Hey Pinsair, thanks mate.
Yeah that sounds more like I expected, I thought there would have to be a catch. as for finding a pintara the same colour I doubt it cause I'm from tassie but I'll keep my eye out, its not urgent at the moment so I'll have a think about it, just wanted a bit of direction before I started to try and organise anything.
Did you just hook the cornering lights up as parklights or did you go for the full Pintara effect???

Hi,

I was forced to replace my corsair lights with pinnies as a gemini driver reversed into them.  couldn't quite get the line up and so had to replace grille, and qtr lights.  The headlights are a different shape.  Obviously as I had to change qtr lights had to change qtrs.
