head light for Nissan Sentra Series 3 (97 Model)

[lhei]

hi mga gurus,

question lang po, san po ba may bilihan ng headlight na salamin na (ung hindi na plastic) kasi sobra labo na ng headlight ko. meron na kasi ako nakita na mangilan-ngilan na ung headlight nila eh babasagin na, kaso di ko lang matyempuhan ung may-ari para magtanong.

kung possible po sana eh around Las Pinas, Cavite or Makati area.

and lubusin ko na rin po huling katanungan. kapag ung sasakyan eh galing sa pahinga wala problem sa start, pero kapag after a few hours of driving at pinatay ung sasakyan ayaw na magstart. pero after mapahinga ng ilang oras eh magsta-start na. Note, wala po talaga kahit anong sound kapag nagsta-start...

ung diagnosis ng mekaniko ko eh sa ignition switch. napansin din ng pinsan ko na dapat eh tangal-tanggalin lang ung susi tapos mejo diinan tapos biglang ok na...

tama po ba ang diagnosis nila? magkano po ang ignition switch? ano po ba ibang workaround dito? may kinalaman kaya sa duplicate key lang gamit ko?

maraming salamat po...

You can check the car surplus shops along Evangalista St in Makati... just canvass a few shops for the best price for a pair.

I believe the kind of headlights you are looking for are those that were used to Sentra Series III 1995~1996 models. These are still made of glass. In addition to what ghostrider already mentioned, these would not be that hard to look for. Surplus shops carrying Nissan parts would easily have these.

And lubusin ko na rin po huling katanungan. kapag ung sasakyan eh galing sa pahinga wala problem sa start, pero kapag after a few hours of driving at pinatay ung sasakyan ayaw na magstart. pero after mapahinga ng ilang oras eh magsta-start na.

Could be (related to the fact that you have to randomly remove the key from the cylinder to make it start) but what makes me wonder is when you said that from cold start, you experience no problem starting the car. Is this always the case?

It seems to point to a faulty ignition switch but best that you let an electrician see it too. These, if not engine-related, are best seen by someone who's expertise are electricals.

pasingit dito hehe, magkano po yung ganung headlights? ganun akin eh babasagin na glass kaso parang napasukan ng moisture me parang bilog bilog dun sa parang reflector sa babang side.

lumalabo pala plastic?

ay meron bang projector headlamps ang sentra na 1995? magkano po? salamat

Pasingit dito hehe, magkano po yung ganung headlights? ganun akin eh babasagin na glass kaso parang napasukan ng moisture me parang bilog bilog dun sa parang reflector sa babang side. There are shops who clean headlights. Just make sure you let an experienced guy to do it or else water marks may appear inside the headlight lens/reflector.

lumalabo pala plastic? Yup. These are normally caused by deposits coming from the halogen bulbs. But as mentioned earlier, there are shops who can clean them.

ay meron bang projector headlamps ang sentra na 1995? magkano po? I highly doubt there are any. Besides, I personally don't think they look nice... at least not on a Sentra Series III. My 2 centavos.

Could be dirt or exposure.

Dirt can be cleaned. Headlights have tiny air vents and dust will get in and settle inside the lens.

Exposure to sunlight can yellow the plastic. Also sometimes plastic develops a fuzyness after years of exposure.

Stock, no.

Aftermarket, yes but the ones I have seen are not very durable and tend to crack or melt in certain places when used often. They can look nice on modified Sentras, but the headaches will start in a couple of months when you notice it will not aim correctly, etc.

That explains it. It's likely that water sipped in your headlights that may have caused the moisture. It could also be a case of poor seals or clogged air vents. But since you mentioned that since purchase, the headlamps have been dirty, having them cleaned may not only make your headlights nice but also eliminate the moisture.

Oh, if you so decide to have the headlight cleaned, have both (LH/RH) done.

The ones from Depo Autolights can be found in some car aftermarket stores. But I haven't found a shop that sells the headlights for Sentra B14.

kung yung dumi ng plastic headlight ay nasa labas at hindi sa loob, ay baka puedeng linisin yan ng colgate white (classic) at basahan. parang nag-popolish lang ng rotc brass buckle at glo.

[dr. d]

if the plastic headlight is dirty on the outside only and not inside, it might be cleaned using colgate white (classic). polish it like you polish an rotc brass buckle using glo.
i also use colgate to clear up my wincshield when detergents fail. works wonders.
i also use it to polish my watch's glass/acrylic face cover.
it's like an ultrafine sandpaper or jeweler's rouge.

salamat po sa reply. sir that`s always the case. kasi baguhan pa lang ako na driver kaya madalas mamatayan sa kalsada... pero nung tumatagal eh kumokonti na ung time na namamatayan ako and so far hindi ko na ma-encounter.

sir, wala po ako alam sa sasakyan kaya i prefer na ung brand new na japan plastic headlight muna ang try ko before ung bubuog na headlight.

may napagtanungan po ako dito sa isang surplus shop sa Las Pinas,

palinis ng ilaw (sa may bacoor) = 1000 each.
Brand New Japan Plastic Headlight = 1200 each.
bubog na headlight = esitmate 4000k each.

so based sa info na yan eh baka mag japan plastic headlight muna ako.

[lhei]

ung sa akin po talagang may mga malilit nang crack sa plastic. someone advice me na kung plastic lang din eh ung Japan na kesa sa Taiwan...

[lhei]

papaano ko po malalaman kung ung brand new headlights eh japan made o taiwan made.

may nagsabi po kasi sa akin na pangit ang taiwan made eh...
