Found two 'damp patches' in the boot of our Son's vvc yesterday, so it had to be investigated.

Found that the two rear light units were 'fairly' loose, so had to remove them to clean up & smear a bit of sealant.

To my shock the three fixing 'bolts' were bearly holding the unit, whoever fitted these overtightened the nuts & broke the plastic lugs.

Tried epoxy resin & sikaflex to no avail, just broke the news to the 'one that must be obeyed' that I have to spend £80 odd to order new units in time for our son's first club run of 2012 next Sunday.

I got the in boot covers as the back of my Lexus lights finish was horrendous, John put Chinese takeaway plastic container things on for me to protect them as I kept knocking the back of the wires ..
They were well worth the money and have made the boot look really tidy

Yeap, I fitted them to my 'F' last year as one bulb holder kept falling out & I intend fitting them to Lee's as you say they really make the boot tidy.

Have looked around the 'auction' site but only original lights are available, but TBH think its best to buy new in case 2nd hand ones are damaged the same way.

Bit of a shock with both F's due for MOT end of the month.

I kept my originals for that very reason

im thinking of changing back to the lexus lights from the quads
from this

maybe back to this

Those quads are fab, but the Lexus are far more "Look at me"

ooooohhhh i like them lights... where did you get them from.. its just another item on my wish list i am working through lol

i love them lights yours plus cash

This is just an excuse to get my ass out! *****WOW "BOTTOM" TURNS INTO SHAFT!!! HAHAHAHAHA******

I have heard of this before, some of the cheap ones have shorter bolts than the OEM ones and can break the plastic lugs on the lamp back from over tightening.

£80 is cheap for a good quality pair of lexus lights, where are you getting them from? .

Ray, i think those quads look great, more unique than the Lexus ones
