Dnk Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 You can get these from Toyota uk and retail is £177.69 each. Discounted i can get for £159.92 each Try your local Toyota dealer as theres no stock here for obvious reasons but i can get them but they would be a little costly to send to Italy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matam Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Super!!! If it is true I want them!! The shipment is not a problem ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Yep thats the discounted price to me. £159.92 each for left hand drive glass headlights without bulbs. Toyotas parts outlet is in Belgium so can't see why you'd struggle to get these or are they lots more money ? as i said these could cost a few ££'s to send to europe and then theres the problem of them getting damaged being glass so would be better if you can buy from your local dealer.

If they are in Belgium i really don't understand why they are so expensive here... The price you gave us is including VAT i assume? The chepaest new set i bought here (from Toyota garage) was 720€ or about 620£ As you can see it's a big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matam Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 I asked the price at my local seller....approximately 300€ for only one headlight! '96 version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade price to me is £159.92 inc vat each, so would be £319.84 for a pair inc vat but doesn't inc bulbs + my 40% commision charge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I would have to find out if they looked like that as i have no idea. I asked my supplier for Retail and trade price for left hand drive glass headlights. I will try to find out but he's at his lunch now and im just off out for mine. I will post up later once i've spoke to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care what they look like or are plastic or glass. But if they have different ones i'm allways interested in wich ones they have. And for your 40% commision i'd gladly give you something if it really is that cheap... Man you guys are so lucky to live in the UK.... We don't even have a goverment lol !

seba Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 well ok i'm not complaining about not having a government as everything just goes its way like allways, with or without government. But truly you guys are lucky when it comes to cars you can do allmost anything. You go to MOT here with a supra, carbon bonnet? no pass... aftermarket suspension? no pass...widebodykit? no pass...your enginebay has to many colours? no pass... The 180km/h delimited? no pass... and the list goes on. And offcourse all parts are way cheaper for you guys. But ok, i can't complain, this country itself is not to bad i guess.

Our government are coming to those conclusions soon. As soon as they do start putting ban on ridiculous things such as car modifications, I shall be leaving the country in a heartbeat.

seba Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I don't know what's going to happen next year. They told me all MOT's in europe would be simplified as each country would have to manage the same MOT standards. So the MOT in Belgium and UK for example would have the same restrictions. As MOT in Belgium is known as one of the more stricktly ones and UK one of the more freely ones i assume they are going to look for the middleroad. This meaning bad news for you guys but finally some good news for us. This would happen in 2011 or 2012 if i remember correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just got in from a rather busy afternoon and didn't get hold of my supplier to check the headlights, i will do this first thing tomorrow. Only joking regarding the commision My concern though is sending them to you as i know Toyota dont box these up very well and i have had damaged ones come to me let alone going across to Europe.

seba Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 ok i'm very curious if what you say is right, not that i don't believe you but i would just feel ripped of by toyota belgium if this is true.

Parsons 76 might be able to do these cheaper than i can so possibly worth asking him Yes mate they seem like they may be the ones. Cheapest I have seen thus far are around £360 a pair IIRC?

SupraMan Mk4 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Not sure what the going rate is on the UK Glass though so £360 a pair could be a good price for all I know..... (which is very little.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
