Fitment on a used headlight varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
Also known as: head lamp, head light.
The R33 Skyline ran from 1993 to 1998, and headlights are shared across that generation regardless of body style or engine variant, so any R33 headlight should be from that window. The R33 received a facelift during its run, so confirm with the breaker whether the part they have is pre- or post-facelift and matches your car's registration. Never assume a part will fit without that check.
No — the R32 (1989–1993) and R33 (1993–1998) are entirely different generations with different front-end panels, so headlights are not interchangeable between them. Always buy from the same generation as your car.
Both years fall within the R33 generation (1993–1998), but the R33 did receive a facelift part-way through production, and 1995 and 1997 cars could sit either side of that boundary. Confirm with the breaker which facelift variant your car is and whether the part they hold matches, as front-end lighting can change at a facelift. Don't rely on the year alone — cross-check against your registration.
Trim level, including GT-R versus GTS, does not affect which generation of headlight you need — fitment is determined by platform and facelift period, not trim. That said, some variants may have had different headlight units fitted from the factory, such as xenon or projector-style versus standard halogen, so confirm the lamp type with the breaker to make sure the unit matches what your car originally had. The generation and facelift period remain the key questions.
No — the R34 Skyline (1998–2002) has a different front end from the R33 (1993–1998), and the headlights are not compatible between generations. You need a headlight sourced specifically from an R33.
For the NS (nearside, passenger side in the UK) headlight, the same generation and facelift rules apply as for the offside — generation and facelift period are what determine fitment, not the breaker's location. Do confirm with the breaker that the unit is specifically the nearside, as NS and OS headlights are handed and not interchangeable with each other. Always verify against your registration before purchasing.
