Parting out rolled 2001 Kaiser

Looking for sun visors and the associated clips. How much do you want for both sides?

Hi Gonzo7231, I am interested in the driver side window switches if they are still available. Please let me know how much, shipped to 10026. Thank you! Tarek

Passenger's side headlight? A VX owner from Tasmania hit me up on social media, and I told him I'd help him find one.

Thanks!

Does he have a JDM or a US model VX? I think the JDM headlights are different from the US model headlights. On top of being built differently, the JDM headlights are calibrated for driving on the left-hand side of the road.

I thought you could adjust aim/focal point on those? Most projector lights you can.

[MSHardeman]

That's just it, I don't think that the JDM lights are projector lights. It looks like they use a conventional headlight bulb, but I could totally be off on that as I have never seen one in person.

[ipd]

Unless it's a sealed beam bulb (think a giant, square shaped bulb), then it's a projector. My 1995 mitsubishi GTO has projectors & you can adjust their aim.

[MSHardeman]

That's it. Couldn't think of the terminology. I THINK the JDM headlights are sealed beam bulbs. Kind of looks like that on all of the pictures that I have seen.

Could someone with a JDM verify what kind of headlights you have?

[ipd]

I'm telling you, they're not sealed beam. JDM vehicross have the same style of projector housings that the USDM ones have.



This is a sealed beam projector bulb being changed on a C3 Camaro.



This is a JDM Vehicross. Same projector housings that USDM uses. Both of these use standard, xenon-type projector bulbs, not sealed-beam projector bulbs.

The JDM bulbs are a "H4" halogen bulb - definitely not a projector unit.
The difference between JDM and USA market headlights, is that the glass lens in front of the bulb (not part of the bulb) has a bias for light deflection to the off side of the road. In this sense if a US market light is installed in a JDM vehicle, the light is deflected into the oncoming traffic, and no amount of adjustment will rectify this.
It is in fact illegal to drive the vehicle on the road in that case.

Now I have another question - since about 2009 I have owned the only VX in Tasmania, so who is this guy chasing a headlight???

Thanks for clearing that up PK.

Do you have the silver fangs for the front grill?
