Stuck for a reason,they dont want to be replaced with cheap tat

But in answer to the question the rear clusters are bonded to the shell by a thick black sealant and need one hell of a tug to get off.

Yeh what a job, got some sticky black roof sealant in the end works a treat.
The lexus lights were supplied with a black inner seal as well!
I got these for Under £90! brand new including shipping from the states on ebay!

They look fantasic on silver, really pleased, lets hope the finish stands up to our weather..

Only downside was had to buy Silvertec bulbs (only ones with opposite pins) rather than orange and the bulbs are a bit weak...

Have to agree. Lexs lights on a SILVER car look sweet.
Heres mines!!!


Dont think they suit any of the dark colours tho? Seen a few dark blue and theres red one that kicks around here to. Just doesnt blend in.

Cheers Davidsti.

Had mines for 13 months this week!!!!
Was imported last may but it took time to get it through its SVA.

No probs untill last november when it got stolen!!! Took every thing. £1500 of sterio, jackets, speakers, my digi camera, about 300 cds.

Got it back in 1 piece tho. Alarm was faulty so got a new one that same week. 2 weeks to the hour, they came back and tried to take it AGAIN!!!!! Was ready with a selection of clubs out the golf bag!!!

After that i had 2 MAF sensors go, air idle control solinoid go, new clutch and all my interior was replaced after the break in. Not cheap. The little f*kers screwed the **** off it!!!

Not had much luck with it this year. Got hit by another car in the snow in feb whilst it was parked out side my house. New rear n/s door needed. Then just in may there the buket lorry took my back end out!!!!!!!! It swung round and the bit at the back for lifting the weely bins hit my boot lid and rear o/s quater pannel!!! Still not got it fixed yet. New house = no money!!!!!

Apart from that, i LOVE the car. Would go out and buy another one 2morow. Its the best car iv driven for a long time.

Recomend them to any one but saying that they are getting very comon up here in Edinburgh. Bit to comon now.
The local boy racers have realised that they can get a UK specvfor aboyt £5k!!!!
Thats like giving a todler a AK47 to play with.

I found the Silvertecs gave a low ouput compared to standard Orange bulbs which do not look bad at all!
Also the indicators officially need to be at the bottom!
