Taillights concept

[Jonathan]

[cjtpb13]

I almost have to say that they do look halfway decent. Felix any chance to have a photograph of what it looks like with brake, parking , reverse and indicator lit ?

[fsrowsell]

Chrıstopher´I wıll post some pıctures for you when I return from Turkey...

[cjtpb13]

Felix thank you. Hope all is well with you

[MrDangerUS]

Felix, could you tell us please what lights did you get, where and how much. I like the smoked look and the red horizontal "stripe" at the top. It would look good with my red car.

[fsrowsell]

John, I purchased the lights from these guys... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-83-87-TOYOTA-COROLLA-TRUENO-AE86-TAIL-LIGHT-SR5-GTS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem588a828694QQitemZ380280931988QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

The lights are good quality. The only thing I had a problem with was their postage. It was expensive and it took over a week to get to Canada.... The lights came clear, so I tinted them black before I put them on the car. I will try and up load some video next week.

Cheers

Felix

[MrDangerUS]

Vid is marked as private...

Cant see it.

Want to see it.

[troutrou]

+1, not allowed to see it, grrr....

[fsrowsell]

Sorry mates, first time using youtube... Try it now.

[Advantage]

Fog light and reverse light are back to front for UK cars.

[fsrowsell]

Are you saying that I have my fog light and reverse light mixed up?

[Advantage]

'fraid so - you've set them so that you're ready for driving in your homeland of America. () In the UK the fog light needs to be anywhere bewteen the middle and the right hand side of the car. It's purely so that in low visibilty, drivers behind you don't think your car is narrower than it really is.

[fsrowsell]

Not a problem mate, I will switch the reverse and the fog lights around... When I move back to Canada I won't have to worry about a fog light and once again have two reverse light.

Cheers

Hmmm, indeed, well spotted...

[MrDangerUS]

Felix,

Great, looks pretty good. Are the mounting points the same as Lotus, how is the fit?

I found a similar smoked lights in Asia;I'm concerned about quality and tolerancing (there no such word in Chinese).

[fsrowsell]

John, they have the same bolting points... I had to trim about an 1/2 inch off each side of my licence plate holder and sand of a little nipple on the lights itself.

MrDanger Are these the same as you found or did you find a another (cheaper source)

TQ

[MrDangerUS]

Yes, the same!

The first rule of shopping:

Since the same factory in China is making them every day, the over-supply is growing. Only if you can wait, someone, somewhere will sell the same merchandise cheaper.

There is a seller in Australia, who started selling them 3 month ago for $256 plus 56 shipping. Now, Singapore is selling them at 50% discount.

I'll sit and wait...

LOL

They are back listed with a make offer price...What do you think $100 plus 60 shipping?

[7tCatvert]

Bought them for $200 including shipping and insurance....Not a great deal but not bad...one of mine were cracked so a repalcement was going to be a few dollars so saved some....
