lexus lights fitting

[boyracer666]

just bought a pair, are they easy to fit?

 

[Tom]

easier than doing a sh*t

 

[boyracer666]

that comes naturally so i shud av no probs, is it just screwed in or what for the mk2?

 

[Tom]

yep just those wing nuts in the boot

 

[SoLow]

takes about 1 minute a side, if you take 50 seconds to find the nut

 

[Robby]

from what ive heard about some makes (no names mentioned) they were designed in a country where lots of wet weather isnt heard of and so the design hasnt really been with british weather in mind (rain,rain and more rain), it has been mentioned in some mags that before fitting get some clear silicon and go over the seams. It stops them misting up in very wet weather.

I is thinkin of getting some as well, so i will have to take that in2 consideration when i get em

 

[BozVanDam]

They really do take seconds to fit - just dont do what butter fingers here did and drop the plastic nuts (both of them - damn Im a dickhead!) under the car - must have wasted about 10 minutes shifting a rear lightless car on and off the drive to get the bloody things back.

what colours your motor mate? thinkin of gettin them on mine but mines met green and not sure if itll look any good!

anyone whos handy with paintshop fancy a go?

 

[SoLow]

as I have said b4, I have got a set from TFG in Newcaslte and the quality is absolutely spot on. He has them available on next day delivery(better than euro parts) and charges about £125, and with all the snow we are having mine havent shown any signs of fogging up.

If you are intrested give them a call on 01912612445

SoLow............that pic............is that ur cr lowered on 35mm Spax????????

 

[SoLow]

yup, and I know it aint exactly SO-LOW but i couldnt think of any other names. 1st car Ive ever had where i can go over speed bumps!

Why do u ask? (just curious)

 

[R3OBC]

think u have steered me to pics of ur car B4 as i am thinkin about the SPAX springs........the grass pics were hard to see as the car was at angles.........but it looks good on the flat there! only difference being mine will have the standard wheels on it! Hmmmm............Damn decisions.........Apex is only 5mm lower...........Spax prob be better ride..........lol........whats the handling like on the Spax.........good when pushing on?

 

[SoLow]

Handling is superb compared to standard. Works well with the standard wheels as I have had mine on for a bit(put them back on too early, damn snow). Got a piccie of the car with standard wheels and suspension if u want:

[R3OBC]

nice mate! how did u manage to change the cars colour tho????? lol! Hmm........think i shall be ordering some Springs next month!!! Cheers for that...........ps, it doesnt effect the brake distribution does it? i.e. the back end getting more pressure due to ride height being lower, makin the car think it has more ppl in the back? if u c what i mean lol

 

[SoLow]

didnt know the 1.2 16v had brake distribution? Never noticed anything on mine. Wouldnt worry too much, 35mm drop is nothing really

 

[gord r]

boy racer how much did you pay out of interest looking for some myself

 

[boyracer666]

i paid £105 from eurocarparts.co.uk

 

[gord r]

thanks

 

[cliomk2]

I was gonna get some for my clio but was not sure how long it would take me to fit them.

But as it seems easy i think ill get some.

Ive read some others posts and people say they leak or let condensation build up?

Whats a good way of stopping this?

 

[cliomk2]

After thinking ill try removing the standard ones before i buy any these really are the easiest things to fit.

Once those big screws are removed...bobs your uncle

 

[Roamer]

Just dont drop the wires into the body LoL Not a good thing to fish out apparently
