I still cannot see the point in Lexus lights really

1) They're aftermarket (and look it!)
2) They don't really enhance the look of the car (just seem the 'in' thing at the moment)
3) They leak! (every person I know whos got them has had this problem)
4) ...and the worst, every Corsa/Saxo/Nova owner has them on there car

Gotta laugh at that link though. Audi A6 business barry!!

Don't wish to offend anyone (though I guess I have! ) Just my personal opinion. But I'd rather spend £125 on a instrument cluster with chrome rings around it!! (and by that I mean each to there own )

In defence of being put under the nova/corsa spot light they all have the chrome lexus style lights this is why i chose black ones besides i don't like the chrome against a silver car.

How ever i'd say with the FK taillights it's not really worth the hassel as they have leaked right from the start for me! Sent one set back because some of the rubber air bitty things were cracked and now on my escond which leaked as well. To cure this i went through stages of sticking rubber tape stuff (do you like my technical terms ) against the body work of the car where the seal on the taillights meet, at first it was narrow rubber tape and it work for a while but then leaked again!! Now i've put wider double sided stcky pad tape AND silicon seal and to be fair it hasn't leaked again but to be honest you really shouldn't have to go to such lengths to stop it leaking!!

Still if you REALLY want these on your car and are willing to go through anything to have them on your car then go for them. If i knew it was going to take me this long to sort mine out i wouldn't have got them!! As for the In pro or any other make i don't know if you'll have to go to these lengths.

Oh and it was always the left side that leaked for me, came in through the fog light at the bottom where water gets past the seal!

But still....



hmmmm

ok the corsa design looks pants, but some of the cars carry it off really well, like the Golf4 ones with just one red brake light - or the BMW e36 ones.

suppose its a matter of opinion and will differ car to car

OK, Karl. Guess they look OK on some cars...



Oh, and this one too...
