Hi all, I've been trolling the net looking for a replacement headlight lens. Copped a nice big stone in the lens. Seems like it comes in a complete sealed unit (which I expected). I've found one that is showing part number 36Y-84321-E0 FJ1200. Can anyone tell me whether this will fit a 1990 3cv? It looks like it will, but I didn't take piccies last time I had it out.
When I queried the seller, he said it would fit a fj1200a 3bc3.
All advice greatfully accepted.
PS, Randy is the greatest FJ lover alive, and the guys keeping this site alive are awesome as well.
Cheers, Dazza
hi mate, i have one for that will fit 84 to 89 , if it fits your 90 its yours for postage from tas, i think the lenses can be removed but not sure, (popcorn)
According to Boats.net the same headlight was used from '84 through to '90. That part # you quoted was different to the one on their website. Regards, Pete.
Thanks guys, yes, the part number didn't check out for me either, that was why I asked. FJ11.5, please check out the postage cost to WA 6714 and I will direct debit your a/c or whatever arrangement suits.
Apologies I have taken so long to get back to you, I had been on holiday, and when I got back, bl . . dy puter died. Anyway, PM me.
Cheers, Dazza
ill get a price and let you know
Mate, could you get a price, I would very much like to replace my buggared lens.
Cheers, Dazza
gidday dazza. When you get your headlight done look around for a perspects cover. They are made for the fj. Think they are made by Ventura. I go 1 on mine. Might save you a headache in future. Check with Randy if hes got any. Mines a 3cv as well. 88-9 ,model. regards Jeff
Jeff, Daz....
I had one of those hard perspex headlight covers on a previous bike and hated it. With the air gap between the guard and the lens, it was always getting dirt and mud in between cutting the light significantly. When I got the FJ, I found a thick (2-2.5mm) vinyl headlight protector that has adhesive on one side. Stick it on, and trim the edges carefully with a razor knife and you're done. Its been on for 15 years and hasn't yellowed or gone cloudy.

,, sorry mate, , 22.50 postage, ,

Is it possible that an auto glass repair would work? You know, the guys that use a resin to repair car windshields? Seems like it would be worth a shot.
Has probably already been discussed, though ... sorry for my cobwebs.
I have one of these headlight covers. I have not put it on yet and road tested to see how I like it.

Does anyone if there is possible to get clear glass for the FJ headlight?
Doing research on replacing the ordinary halogen socket with a Xenon projector, and the original glass i suspect would distort the light from the projector, no?
