Just took delivery of the new tail lights for the gen3 import only rx7 what do you think???  If any one is interested in a set they retail for £199 but i could try and swing something for a group buy, either pm me or post on this thread with your opinions on the lights.

Actually, they look groovy and have a number of styling queues straight from the RX-8. The indicators are on the outside and have 2 horizontal bars splitting the lens in front of the indicator lamp.  The RX-8 only has 1 rear light, but is the same size and layout as the rear lights shown.  So the main difference is the extra rear light and the top row of three.  

Presumably you critics don\'t like the RX-8 lights either...???:cool

I happen to think they look great, and even if the didn\'t, no need to slam them...  they are the lads new toys, afterall!!

Common knowledge Im not keen, but I think thats not too bad on Silver.  Dont like the middle bit though.  Spray your old middle panel the same colour as the car and it would look better imho.

Miguel mentioned getting a dark set of these (in another thread) but would be interested in seeing the result.  Not my kind of thing though; the Max Power posse have already ruined my impression of "Lexi" style lights.

Nope I don\'t like those either ... can\'t wait for the clear light trend to stop. They just detract from the clean lines of a car and make it look fussy and over complicated.

but then its all down to personal taste

Bit unsure on the lights, I think I might like them if they didn\'t all seem to come standard on chavaliers these days.

That rex looks bloody awesome though mate, any more piccies of it or the rims on it?

Post by: Rotorboy65 on September 01, 2004, 05:50:00 PM
Wow I thought I was the only one who did like the lights. Well done mate for being the first too get a set, where are they from? seen some on procarparts are these the one\'s. Would prefer them smoked do you know if these are available?. Like I said before nice one glad someone\'s got the balls too do their own thing.....best regards Leigh.

Quite like them to be honest think they suit the car quite well what with it, the car, being silver. :cool

Would like to see a smoked set on a dark car as mine is dark.

can;t make my mind up about those lights at all.  Don;t think they\'d suit a dark car as has been said, but they do kinda work.  Not keen on the centre bit tho.

Off topic, but what is that symbol on the back of your car in place of the badge?  and have you filled in the boot lock???:confused:

I think it\'s the KAHN alloy wheel manufacturer\'s badge.

Yeah its the kahn logo and yes the boot lock has been smoothed who can honestly tell me they use that lock!!
Title: Lexus clusters
Post by: Archbish on September 02, 2004, 10:18:11 AM
Not me - but then I\'d have to go through filler and paint to get to it anyhow...

Are the side repeaters gone too???

In all honesty, driving up the M40 behind Bish on Sunday, these did actually look quite good.  Still not keen on that centre section though.  Those three centre lights looked to me a bit like fisher price made them. :rolleyes: Aside from that though, I was surprised to find myself appreciating them.

Just a shame that the lexus clear light thing got so popular with the chavs that its hard to be objective about them any more.  

Top marks to those who have had the balls to put them on cars and see what they look like though!  :god  :cheers

Hate to admit it, but if they do a smoked variety I may have to consider getting some of those.....

 Where did those ones come form?
 And do they actually do a smoked set, or are we just wishing they did?         :D

They are a cheaper alternative to late spec lights for the ear ly boys.

When i get my new rex depending on it colour i might get myself a set and spray the shitty center section body colour.

Available from ESP designs at £199.99 :)

that second set is not for me.  It makes the first set look special.

Post by: Dan Norton on September 07, 2004, 12:23:31 PM
Too be honest, i thought that aswell.

There are some in japan thats look like the rx8 rear clusters, which are wicked.


I wonder if we could get a group buy together, and ask someone with contacts  in japan (importer guys!!:D ), to get us some in.

My contact has moved to germany now, so it would take months for me to get anything from him now:(

Hi

Anyone attending the northern meet this month will be ablle to take a look at the angel eye rear lights I have on my car.

I will be offering up a couple of sets shortly at a very resonable price if anyone is interested.
Heres a pic

I am going top save the lit up option for people at the meet as the pics do not do it justice.

Cheers

Lee E
