Lexus style rear lights

and front blue lights

Alright the front lights need replacing, one of them is hanging off! But blue!

Jesus crist.I might just keep the front lights fit them and send the lexus style back lights back to the shop.

What do you guys think?

P.S theve also bought me one of those sport metal fuels caps

Perhaps the front lights were to match the side repeaters!

Didn't they ask you what you wanted for your birthday?

Dont get me wrong, i'm grateful for the time and money they have spent getting the lights.I just wanna get into mainstream mods like lowering, engines etc.

But improving the handling and performance would see you at more risk in their eyes whereas cosmetic changes are less likely to see you having a high speed accident. Trouble is if tastes don't match ...

I'm sure you can exchange for something else although I don't think the rear lights are too bad.

I see what your getting at.

lowering on the springs "improve" handling of the car though?

I'll be going ahead with the front headlight fitting.This is mainly due the fact that the left bog standard light fitting brackets have snapped.

Sri, you got any tips you could give me on fitting the front lights? Problems i might run into ect

its really easy mate.. unbolt, disconnect and pull out, might get stuck on the "lip" in the bumper recess for the lamps tho, mine did

in which case u gotta undo the bumper mounts and push down a bit.. my car was totally smashed up when i did mine anyway, so i dint care about breaking stuff

30-40mm lowering springs will improve the handling of the car. I've always been under the impression that 60mm is too low for the best handling.
