STL file for the early spec Levin headlight ball joint plastic clip
I own a JDM Levin (early model), and the headlights were in terrible condition. The main problem is that the ball joint that holds the reflector inside the headlight is brittle and breaks, making it impossible to adjust the headlight properly. All the early spec headlights I bought so far had this issue, so I decided to create a 3D model for printing, which I want to share here.

You can download the STL file from here.

Use PA11 or PA12 (Nylon) as the material. It is heat-resistant and worked well for me.
Again, this has only been tested for a RHD early model Levin, and I am not sure if it will work on LHD models.

I used this on my own Levin to restore my headlights. If you need more instructions I wrote a summary on my website.

Thank you! Yes, that's me. I haven't had much time recently for new videos, but the 86 made good progress. I recorded most, so hopefully at a later stage I can turn them into some fun videos.
