at the minute i have got the lexus style lights on but getting bored of them or ready any suggestions and also the lexus lights tend to get steamed up when its been raining anyone else had the samething and no how to prevent?????????????????????

 

[chrisstevens]

What car do you have and what colour?

There are such a varied s election for the MK4 on the market at the moment, but in my opinion the only two that work exceptionally well are the Hella R/C/C/R's and the Inpro M3's.

 

[ajfaulk]

Take them off!!!!!!!!!

 

[Baker21]

I am afraid that I am going to have to be a little 'harsh', they are steaming / misting because they are a cheap / bad design!!

What make are they?

You will find that the deisgn of the lamp is such that there are hot spots and the heat cannot escape, also the seal to the BIW (body in white) is probably not spot on so you will be getting water into the lamps.

I can however recommend the R/C/C/R rearlamps?!!?!! (I am biased though).

Thank god for that. I have got the lexus light and mine are doing the same thing. About to change mine for the US spec GTI lights.

 

[mcclarky2004]

just found out of volksbits that they are not lexus but alteeza style lights so where can i get some good quality lights from?

 

[Tom R32]

Mate - the Alteza is the non euro name for the IS200 - they are the same thing, IE - Lexus

Get US GTI ones or even the Euro GTI ones are nice, these aftermarket lights can really make a Golf look totally crap - sorry, dont mean to offend - just MHO.

 

[RJH]

Well it all depends now what type of lights you're after to replace your altezza ones. The main choice seems to be the Hella's, they're the nicest and great quality lights that wont fail like your last set. So i suggest you PM Baker21, he's the man to see, he's hooking me up with a pair of the Hella R/C/C/R's this week and many people on this forum seem to go to him.

 

[mcclarky2004]

cheers mate will try him ......not to sound to stupid what does r/c/c/r stand for????????????????

 

[Tom R32]

Red Clear Red Clear?

 

[mcclarky2004]

what about the r/c/c/r i quiet like them but where do i get them from is it a stealer item?

 

[mcclarky2004]

RJH what kind of price am i looking for r/c/c/r ?

 

[Deadlock]

mmmm Inpros.....[]

 

[mcclarky2004]

DEADLOCK VERY NICE WHAT DO THEY SET YOU BACK AND FROM WHERE?

 

[RJH]

mcclarky2004, those above are the Inpro M3's incase you're interested, they go for around ?145 from venom motorsport and with regards to your earlier question, Baker21 said the R/C/C/R's would be around ?95 then you have to add on P+P. If you are seriously interested, best to just have a word with him and get more details and a more accurate price... He's friendly enough! Hope this helps!

 

[Deadlock]

I was lucky I got them for ?50 from a forum member, (?140-?160 usually)have a look at the (unbias) info here :

(from Cage in a past thread)You can get these lights from Venom Motorsports (www.venommotorsport.com) or Performance Solution on 01604 232003 (ask for Oliver). They cost ?145 inc. VAT.

Hope that helps!

These are what we call Lexus lights

And these are what we call Altezza

So you're right - they are both Lexus style, but they're not exactly the same thing []

 

[mcclarky2004]

i have the top ones cat1.4 and are very disappointed with them

 

[ben_r32]

I found a some variations that are pretty cheap (www.carlamp.com) , it does state that there made my hella of germany. maybe u cud be saving a bunch on em if they are genuine, u dont want them to steam up, still not ?50 but they look alright. theyre aroun ?120
