Afternoon all,
Are Gen3 headlights cross compatible from 1998 to 2018? or did they make changes across the years? Girlfriends 2008 needs some in better condition. Cheers!

As far as I am aware they are all the same. Unless there are some that don't have electrical height adjustments but I think they all do?

Thanks for the responses,
Been asking around and seems there are two different lamp connectors; triangular and 'oblong'. Googled images and looks like she has the oblong type connector on the back side.
Daniel30- I thought the damage was too deep as it looks like whatever was put on the lenses has caused the plastic lens to spider crack but she's contacted a body shop who are taking a look to this morning so hopefully its something they can sort easily

I was amazed at just how much difference this stuff made.

I tried to get some replacements from breakers and honestly they we all in terrible condition, so set about cleaning my ones with the stuff above and it made a really good job. Not saying good as new, but a really big improvement for very little effort.

Spider cracking may be a Jimny thing. Ours has "cracks" in the lens and I don't know why. It's not the same as the brown discoloration or opaque finish that you normally see, it looks like a true crack but I can't determine if it's on the inside or exterior. I have lightly polished the normal discoloration away, but don't want to sand the lens if it's not going to change the crack appearance.
I would be interested in what the body shop say.

Sooo
Body shop says too deep to polish as I suspected but worth a shot. now need to find a pair at a reasonable price! new are £200+ and second hand are close to £100!?
Are they in that high a demand for that price?
Anyone know a decent breakers with sensible prices

Thanks for taking the time to feed back the body shop results. As I suspect the cracks are too deep to sand out, so I shall not bother. I can't help with the demand for second hand units, but the options don't look cheap to replace. Mine are not bad enough to join you in the hunt for replacements, but I do wonder how many are affected by this and is it inevitable or a result the of previous owner actions?
Good luck
Mike

I think it's inevitable as mine on Dreadnaught are showing signs after not quite 9 years and I know for a fact that nothing has been used or misused to adversely affect the plastic as I have known Dreadnaught from the moment of leaving the dealership on handover day.

I think you are correct. Interesting that ours are just 10 years old and the cracks are appearing, so potentially 9-10 years could be the life limit if you don't want cracks.
Can't be sure though.
