Animal Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I need to replace my J-spec cloudy lumps of plastic with something that'll actually emit light 'cos these dark evenings are becoming a nightmare. High beam's okay, but main beams are barely visible and if owt comes the other way it's like I've no lights at all and I've to slow right down. I knew they were a bit pricey, but bloody hell - the local Toyota dealer quoted about 210 quid EACH! Now I know why everyone tries to refurb their J-spec lights... I will be getting a HID kit from Nic at the end of the month, will these make enough of a difference in my J-spec lights (they are really cloudy) and let me get Xmas out of the way before buying the glass ones? So...is there anyone here (other than Nic - he's already said he can't get them much cheaper) who can get a set for less, or am I gonna have to bite the bullet & pay Mr T? thanks in advance Animal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I may be ordering a few sets of UK Glass Headlights for some of the Aus guys, so I've negotiated a good price for a group purchase. If you want, I can get you a set also, should work out considerably cheaper than the price you've been quoted. PM me if you want details.

toyotasuprauk Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Its no wonder that these cars are becoming right offs with the slightest little prang when parts are that expensive from Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 We could not let this happen and I would be the first to sign the petition and decide what incentive our club would offer for him to stay!! Maybe a visit from the boyz!! Don't panic, there's three guys that work there. Steve, and his boss Adrian are well sorted. I don't know the third guy's name, he's OK, but I find just not as approachable. Either way, all three of them give us excellent service. I've been using them for 7 years now, and they've never let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotasuprauk Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Will all three give the same discount or only Steve? What are the postage costs like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
