Rear lenses wanted

Post by Davejue1 »

Hi. I'm after a pair of red and white rear light lenses for a pre facelift 98 wide body car. If anyone has a set they wish to sell please let me know. I can get a new set from Germany for £60 but if I can get a decent used pair that'll do the job nicely.

Cheers
Dave

£60 sounds like a great price for a new set of M style rear lights and at that price I'd just go with those! It's unlikely someone will sell them for that anyway even if they came up.

That's a good price. Can you report back when you get them and let us know how they are?

Assume it's these ones?;

Quite good for the money but my hesitation would be because they look slightly smoked/dark. There's some others here that look more OEM for a little bit more;

Or it could just be something as simple as a darker photo of the same part!! :)

Hi, ye it's those ones. I see what your saying about the smoked look. I got a bit of time to decide. The wife is buying them for me for my birthday in 3 weeks time.
Either will look nicer than the orange tho as the side repeaters are already clear.

Oh brilliant. Thanks for that you just saved me £30. I was leaning towards the 'whiter' ones.
Thanks very much.

He emailed it me but I deleted it sorry. It was taken in dim light but to be fair they look spot on. I'm ordering them so I'll post a pic when I've got them. Will be a couple of weeks off tho.

Received the M style rear lenses today and they look spot on. I'll try and find a minute at the weekend to get them fitted and post a pic.

Cheers

Yeah totally agree Barry. The side repeaters were already done when I bought it so finishes it off. :)
