DamanC Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Peter I done mine with glass and painted the backs silver to match the colour of the car. Black or a dark colour just wouldnt look quite right imo on a silver car. http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/7152/imgp09400kq.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does look really good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 They have gone up, im sure they was £240 when i considered getting some, mind you that was not delivered. Pound / Yen rate is a lot different now. My personal preference is for the Facelift headlights, I think they look a lot more modern compared to the older ones with the chrome inners.

AlexM Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 When walking around our 'stand' at Japfest, I noticed that nearly all the cars with plastic front lights suffered with clouding or yellowing to some degree. It would have to be the glass units for me after seeing that, there really is no comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Black Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Im happy with glass, but you pays your money and makes your choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 this is the number for Toyota in aberdeen 01224 249246. They also do a club discount and I have found frequently beat the inchcape price for club members. Ask for Brian and obviously mention the club. Remember you don't need the full lights with bulb holders etc just the shell. I think I was £195 for a set about 2 years ago. If you do call please let us know the price you get quoted. I just remembered that I got another set for my wife last year and think they were £220. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Just phoned Brian at Toyota Aberdeen and he said that due to a reduction in the discount they receive from 22% to 12% on headlights they can no longer offer the same discount on these items and the price for the pair is £297.92 inc vat however delivery within the UK is another £20 so £317.92 inc vat and delivery. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
