A new site that I found today, grandJDM had inspired me to find tons of photos of some of the best JDM Nissans and Toyotas, and some other vintage JDM cars. Without further adieu…
Basically, fixing and repairing your cars headlights is something everyone can do. You could take your car to your local car dealer and pay hundreds of dollars or you could repair them yourself for as little as $15. I would rather keep my money than make my local dealer rich with their outrageous markups and prices. Here is how to properly evaluate, fix and repair almost any automotive headlight problem.
First, determine what the problem is. Are they dim, not working at all, hard to see with at night, have water inside, failed inspection? If they don’t come on at all either you have a burned out bulb or an electrical problem. An electrical problem can be expensive and very labor intensive to fix - but they are usually vary rare. So lets first look at the bulb. The bulb unscrews out of the back of the headlight lens on most newer cars (on older cars with glass headlights the whole lens is the bulb and you just replace it with a new glass replacement $10 - $20 at Walmart). After removing the bulb, look at it. Does it look burned out? Is it black, melted, discolored? If so, replace with a new one. You can purchase replacements at your local automotive store or Walmart for under $20. Insert the new bulb or bulbs and make sure not to touch the glass part of the bulb with your fingers - the grease we emit on our fingers will cause the bulb to wear more quickly or even blow. After installing the bulb try the lights. 99% of the time this is the reason they will not turn on. If it still doesn’t light you have an electrical problem and this should be referred to your local mechanic.

I found this on the Nissan Japan website, they have an archive of sites from the early 90’s to the late 90’s of most of there cars. Some of these sites are more than 20 years old, right when the internet was starting to become popular. Its really neat to see how they would market the cars online back then. Most of the sites are in Japanese.
Commercials from the 80’s and early 90’s are pretty neat to watch, knowing that a car that you own now, such as a 240sx or a ae86 corolla used to be a new car and have commercials is really neat, here is a list of commercials I have compiled!
