As I need to replace my tail lights due to delamination and water damage, has anyone used these on their car?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Pontiac- ... ccessories

Would like some feedback before I shell out for replacements. Would like to keep standard if possible, and not that keen on the look of the led lights. These seem to be about the cheapest , but I was wondering what the quality would be like.

Wow..Those are not cheap!!! (and shipping is crazy to me ($50+) never mind the UK)

I think you can do better used or even NEW on eBay than that pair...I suggest you keep looking!!

Believe me, they are the cheapest I've seen...on some others postage alone to the UK is sometimes over $100!!!! I've seen individual secondhand lights for sale, but you never know how good/bad they might be "in the flesh". Led/altezzas work out at a similar price, but not keen on them! I've looked at over 8 pages of ebay listings for these lights, and these seemed to offer the best overall deal for new ones. Obviously I don't WANT to spend that much if I can help it, but needs must and all that.... My car's my daily driver so I can't afford for it to be off the road over some stupid lights!

check the listings here, or over at clubgp. Alot of people have been selling there tinted tails. You could pick up a set for like 100 already tinted.

I'd try Ed Morad's eBay store listed on here. You should be able to find a pair for cheap from him, but I don't know if they ship overseas.

Definitely look into Morad Parts Company. The guys there are good guys and will get you good quality stock replacement parts at pretty much unbeatable prices. Fortunately for me I live 45 minutes from them! I don't know how often they ship to the UK but they don't kill people on shipping.

Cheers, Kyle, I've had parts off Morad before, but only smaller ones, to keep the costs down! Problem with s/h lights is that the delamination could be just as bad, with a bit of a distance problem to get them changed. At the moment I'm checking ebay every other day, and waiting for the exchange rate to come down a bit!!!

Well, I made an executive decision, and I went for a set set of Flip's finest!

Will take a while to float across the pond, but I promise to post pics as and when!!!!

If your watercooled tail lights (copyright Palsut) look like this... :sad:

Image

....then get a set of these. :cool:

Image

One fitted, one to go.

Image

A set of Flip's light tinted tails, all fitted!

Image

Got them 2 days ago, but had to wait until today to fit them as they are for my birthday (wife's orders, haha!). Had to wait all day for a break in the rain, but luckily it's only a 5 minute job! Well pleased with them, thanks again, Flip.
