OK so I fully expect a love em, hate em response, so here goes.....

Fitted some new rear lights today as I really don't like the PFL rear clusters. I had them shipped in from Australia and they are almost a direct replacement for the standard ones. The only issue I have had (apart from blowing both dual function bulbs ) was that the indicator bulbs in the UK come with guide/lock pins set at 180 degrees and the mount for them in this cluster is set at approximately 140 degrees. I spent a long time in Halfords going through all of the bulbs they had but couldn't find a match, so I came home and attacked the bulb socket with a metal jigsaw blade (by hand I might add as it would tear everything to pieces if it was attached to a jigsaw!). Having suitably extended the locking channel, they fit perfectly and are now nice and secure.

Bring on the pics....









Managed to catch the hazzards going full pelt in this one...


Top - Fog light;
Middle left - Reverse light
Middle Right - Indicator just sparking up
Bottom - Main running light


This is the main running light with the brake activated too (much brighter)


Let the arguments begin!

Hmm saw these on TRC Tuning...

At least they're not Lexus lights

Quite like the drunk look

[KPARRIS-JONES]

Absolutely love them mate. They are on supra25's compressor and I think they look amazing on the darker-coloured CTS'.

Really suite the car, nice one.

Black CTS = win.

Snake eyes on the right colour dont look amiss unlike lexus jobs.

not sure why they look 'drunk' but the slant is quite aggressive. good work.

[GIDDLEPIN]

I like them

Not like a gold Clio I saw in Hull recently though, he sprayed his gold to match the car and you could barely see the lights behind, I'm surprised plod hadn't pulled him

They've been discussed on here before... They look similar to FL lights that have fallen over, hence 'drunk'

**runs off to hide his tinted lights**

[eddieinvader]

To clear for me.

Would probably look better with a tint.

he said gold!!!! not tinted. haha

[illgryphon]

i really like the slant, they look ace. 'Proper job!'

[andycam06]

i like them lad, they look slighter better on supra25s yolk though, but i think thats just because i thought his black and white pics were class, something different and look alot better than the lexus lights, any more plans, i did a wee mod to mine 2 years back, was alot cheaper than new light, iav it trademarked





not a great pic during the day

[ricc]

that's either a fog light on either side OR the fog lights rewired onto the position light circuit. (cant imagine the later would be too legal leaving no fog at all) either way, other have it done

[PaddyB]

These are nice, how much do they cost

[borodaz]

you can ghet them in a black version, they look miles better in the black versions i have been wanting the black ones for my cts with sum black aloys

well you say others have it done but how long, well as iam sure your aware the rolla only has 1 fog light, so was abit of work in it, and iavnt seen another 1 with it done, and the fog light isnt tested in our nct so no worries there, plus how often do you need a fog light, about twice a year
