Gutted!

[stani1029]

well was happy to find out my LED rear lights come today but gutted when i found this when fitted

it just doesnt fit properly, when compared to the driver side LED rear light the curve isnt the same. anyone ever had anything like this or is it just my usual crap luck

can i have a picture of the rear of your car to show the style of the lights?? as i was going to buy some LED ones.

but if this is the case then i doubt i will... sorry you had this trouble./...

i'm assuming your old ones fit completely flush?

[stani1029]

yeah the old ones fit flush against the bumper and rear 1/4 where as these stick out passenger side only. ive emailed the seller from taiwan lol and im confident this will be sorted

the thing is that one side fits so it could just be a bad unit for the other side. i like the look of them and as long as i can get similar fog lights then i will be happy :)

there the ones i was going to get! £169 quid arent they??? now theres issues with the fitting im not to sure...

[jay_russell]

looks like you have not fitted it right. there are some clips that must go in on that side first. like putting a shoe on. take it off and try fitting the side sticking out in your photo first. have fitted mine ok so i think you have miss fitted it

[stani1029]

Yes 199 delivered and i can assure you ive fitted these right. When compared to the original lexus light the curve shape is different. Im not stupid enough to get that wrong. I even took out both the plastic clips as a test to see if it will fit which it doesnt. It has to be forced into that shape which i shouldnt have to do

[jay_russell]

then it must be naf mate. sorry if it sounded funny. but you never know if people put them in right. just offered advice incase it was that simple. hope you get it fixed ok.

[stani1029]

No bother jay. I know the sort of people. The supplier is wanting alit of pictures of the problem. I wish it was me thats fitted them wrong so i can have the lights fitted but its not. Hopefully ill get it replaced of im taking the heat gun to it maybe....

[stani1029]

right whilst taking photos to send to the guy in taiwan i noticed where the problem was. the clear red lens and the black plastic backing has been glued together too far apart.

good side

bad side

hopefully this will get replaced!

[lex2oos]

if you wont get a replacement, put the bad light in oven, heat up and press it 2ge4 :D

[stani1029]

Right i had a new one sent out free of charge and it fits with a bit of adjustment :) only thing is i dont like them! There too tinted for my liking so i am putting them up for sale.

You will get a set of lights and the one that just doesnt fit properly.

£150 including delivery thanks michael

Just a point to remember, reflectors. The light might be legal, but that doesn't mean the car is once they are fitted. My understanding is that the rear of uk cars must have reflectors fitted on each "corner", so you would have to fit separate reflectors if the LED Lights didn't have them. I think the factory lights do, but most of the aftermarket lights don't. Just make sure you check which bucket the aftermarket lights drop into.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ those lights do have reflectors fitted two per rear light they are below the led's

heres a pic of the chrome versions reflectors are clearer in this pic
