Looking at getting some lexus lights this weekend from max power show, as they should be alot cheaper there.
Any one got pics of different styles?
Also, how easy are they to fit? Do I have to rip any of my boot out to get to the lights?

Many thanks.

Cheers. Thanks, for the warning on the nut. I will try not to loose them. Will I need new bulbs, or will my existing bulbs fit?

Well fidly, that last screw was a bitch to put back in, had to drill the hole out to make the screw go in easier.
Also totaly re-wired the loom. Top is my rear lights, then reverse, then indicators, bottom is brakes. No fogs for me!! Actually, is that an MOT failure?

Thanks for the pics. I just want a set of lights where I dont have to cut cables in the loom and will pass an mot (cant be bothered to take them out when it comes to MOT (also Old Bil). Quite interested in the gen 3 lexus lights. Greasemonkey are those lights a straight fit (no cutting into loom and rewiring things)? Also are they E Stamped? What day are you going to Max VoYtO LeViCh?

Went to max today. Got my lexus lights people. I went for the gen 3 onces. I have now fitted them and they look good. Only problem is I am using all the bulbs out of my old light standard clusters, except the indicator. Only problem i have found is with the brake light. It works but doesnt seem to be much brighter when the main rear lights are on. has anyone had this problem?

mate u need to pop down to halfords and buy a dual filament bulb this acts as the brakes and rear lights. also put some sealent around the top of them where the plastic meets the metal as they sometimes let water in
