Facelift vs Normal pre 97 J-specs?

Hi all,

These are my rear lights. hey're from a J-spec TT on a 93 plate. I take it these are standard non-facelift lights right?

I took a look at Nics facelift lights and they look identical (See here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=76750).

So, my main question is what's the difference - are the bulb lightings themselves different?

Apologies for not using the search function if this has been covered before yeah!

Cheers,

Greg

I'm not sure about the exact differences but pre-facelift are black (so are yours by the looks of it on the picture) and facelift have grey backing.

Ro

the center lights are different

Thought the centre lights were different, saw Voos on Mids Gumball and they looked very nice.

Didn't know about the colour backing thogh - thanks supro.

Anyone know or got a pic of facelifts on a black sup - do they look a little odd - Burna?

Cheers, Greg

i reckon your ones suit a black supra to be honest

Take a look at my site Greg http://www.pbarfield.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=12

Greg yours are the standard pre-facelift rear lights, the facelift lights have a charcoal grey inner, the lenses are also quite different. The facelift rears also use different bulbs which are brighter and look diffrent when illuminated due to different lenses. Personally I think they look a lot more modern compared to the early ones.

The rears I sell include all bulbs and harness and are a straight swap, it's a quick and easy job to swap them over.

This pic of Pete's shows the pre-facelift rear on the left, the facelift rear on the right.

also like the pre-face ones on a black supra.

Another configuration of the rear lights Greg, still black surround.

Thought about facelift rear lights but I too don't think they don't go well with a black car.

Thanks all and cheers Pete, Burna and Nic for the pics.

I think you're right Burna, not to keen on a grey surround on a black car - looks a little odd and out of place. Reminds me of cheap lexus upgrades for saxos and the like to be honest. Thanks Nic for clarifying mate, but do you have any other rears available?

Burna - really like those mate. They look lovely, more moden and clean. Are they standard UK Spec ones then?

Cheers all, Greg

Ah see you're not as green as you're cabbage looking

Missed you not being there Sunday, I wore a T-shirt I had printed especially for you. Everyone thinks you have a lovely girlfriend

Lol why thanks Burna. Missed you too buddy and yes I certainly do have a lovely girlfriend. Let me see this t-shirt then. Did it say 'Greg's best friend' or 'I'd like to play with Gregs friend' ?

Would you like to spend a little 'quality time' with her in exchange for your lights? I hope pimping isn't against the board rules. She takes the piss out of you lot and meeting my 'supra friends' anyway so you're welcome to her bud! In the middle once again - her friends are available too

Really hope to see you soon bud. Once my car is back on the road, next 2 weeks hopefully, I'll catch up with everyone at the next mids meet

i think the facelift rears give the car a 'meaner look' keep thinking about getting some myself

On black though mate??? Not convinced. On silver or red definitely like them, maybe with blue too, but look to strange on black and too 'aftermarket' blatent.

2 weeks Greg! What you having done now?

2 weeks Greg! What you having done now?

.............perhaps Mr Wilson could enlighten me as to what needs to be done first mate!! Think he's pretty damn busy at the moment so should find out soon. No doubt some expensive work.

I'm hoping it's not so I can get my other bits and bobs sorted.

Stick to the black one's mate, they look better on your colour car!

If your into pimping....i'll take the tall blonde[GRIN][/GRIN]

Yeah cheers Tiger.

Her name is Jenny, she's 18, she has 34 DDs (I know this as she's left her bra here many a time before when visiting my sister. No, I didn't look in her bra!) and goes to Bristol Uni but lives her in Solihull in the hols. She is single and goes like the clappers.........so i've heard

£20 for the week mate.

Do a fellow supra owner a favour.....£10 for the week!?
