I've seen so many of all the years with amber indicators, I'm wondering if there is an amber reflective bit in there, that people remove, and just swap the clear bulb for an amber one?
Could be onto something there.
Any idea how much a set of new headlights are? Im half keen to spend the money for some, but not a rediculous amount (which they probably are). I want them clear, not this old faded look.
Maybe ask Aaron (nakedterror), he'll be able to let you know about the pricing no doubt, and prolly find a set for you? _________________

New import Soarer are around the $800 retail from Toyota, so i would suspect Aristo to be similar. _________________

Mate you just need to polish the lens cover. Use metal polish and they will come up looking like new.
I’ve heard 2000 grit sandpaper to remove the outer yellow UV affected layer then polish with scratch-x polish (will fill small scratches too) is the go.
Then just re-apply scratch-x every couple of months from then on. _________________
yup - when i first bought the supra it had all shit all over the headlights, looked like it had eaten into the plastic..
got some wet n dry sand paper and lightly sanded it out, and then polished it up, and they were schweet as again _________________
I'm currently weighing up having some stock turbo's rebuilt with T3 60-trim fronts and steel rear wheels in order to relliably run some boost. I should imagine with the larger fronts slightly more lag, but I want to retain the Std Seq system. I've fallen in love with it
I wil also have the wastegate opened up and a new flap made for this along with some porting etc.
Will be interesting to see what the outcome is.
I'm difficult in that I don't want to single turbo this car, so need to retain the factory look and driveability in the bay _________________

Why not just weld the standard waste gate shut, and whack on an external gate?? you will have the manifold off anyways, so can modify it with ease then ...

Something I've toyed with over the years is the idea of running a pair of STI turbos, such as a VF23 or VF28. A pair of 320hp roller bearing turbos which are relatively cheap (say $1400 the pair) are quite appealing
Bit of fabrication needed for the manifolds and dumps, but subie dumps are cheap and up pipes easily obtained
