WARNING! lexus lights on Ebay sold by AutoCruise

poor quality..... they usually end at quite a steep price so not much of a bargain really... PLUS mine didn't even work.... I think wrong wiring.
They also seem to have been just cut from the regular ones for a 206.... will let you know how the above company will sort this problem out or if they deserve a negative rating on ebay too........

They account for about 95% of the Lexus lights on Ebay, i was very close to buying off them, glad i didn't

I think you will find that most of us have them like that (All the ecosse ones i think do) Its not a problem really

Then again not much cop if they dont even work!

To my Knowledge to the 206 and the 206cc lexus lights are all the same anyway, on the box it shows both cars so i assume this means they will fit both if cut to the right size

Yeah - ecosse just hacked a couple of bits off the standard lights to stick em on the cc. My local dealership is doing it too now (even though some sales staff still insist they dont fit!) I think someone said a shop was doing specific cc ones for about Â£20 more than the hatchback ones, but personally i think you might as well just pay less & chop a bit off!

ok.... I wouldn't be too bothered about them being cut to size.... I'm just wondering whether I could find them cheaper and then cut them myself!..... the disappointing things are the quality and the fact that they don't actually work (!)
Emailed the company, I'll phone them later as well, see what they'll do to put this right......

Were the lights easy to fit? I have just got mine delievered today from the same guys so hoping (fingers crossed) that they are OK. Did you have to cut them?

I got mine from them off ebay and I must say that they were excellent , no problems at all Â£76 bargain and the box states that they are specifically for the CC.

V easy to fit, just unscrew a couple of wing nuts and away you go.

Cheers Tigger might have a go at putting them on tonight!

tigger what company were they from? coz mines have no pics on the box at all.... just a cardboard box......
they are easy to fit..... if they work that is LOL
By the way, I phoned up the guys, I sd I wasn't happy with the overall quality of the lights and the guy answered me that they get them from the same supplier as Peugeot (i don't know your dealr, but mine doesn NOT sell lexus lights at all), they are sending new wiring bits.......
yes, only the wiring bits... so I'll have to improvise as electrician and change the wires...... BAH, NOT IMPRESSED at all to be honest..... and for Â£125 including delivery, I am not a happy customer!

Be careful though, they are on very tight and when i took mine off i ended up in the flower bed cos they weren't moving at all then suddenly just flew off in my hands and i fell backwards

The same lights are available from Eurocar parts for Â£75.74+ Vat..

And I still see people on Ebay spending over Â£100 or more on them..

the problem with that website is.. when you choose your car model... then there's not much found for the 206 cc.....they should make the navigation easier really.......

TheMinel · Post by **TheMinel** » Sat Jun 14, 2003 1:49 pm

oh and they haven't got them in stock.. (the 206 model that is....)
