WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Does anybody know if these are E marked and UK legal, Has anybody bought a set from the States and is there custom duty on them. ?. Thanks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-03-05-TAIL-LIGHTS-LED-CARBON-FIBER-NEW-DEPO-/121127097917?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c33bcd63d Quote
Wasso Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Sam McGoo runs those. Customs is placed on the cost for shipping and the value of the "declared" value. Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Dont want to, but need a set of LEDs Rear Lights, to replace the cracked one when a stone went through the lens and they are nearly £300 new. :scare: Quote
Ekona Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 There must be a set of second hand lights out there. ZmanAlex? Quote

WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 These bizarrely look quite good on Sams car I just PM Sam for some info. Quote
Ekona Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 I'd rather pay £300 than put those on. Sorry Sam! Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 I'd rather pay £300 than put those on. Sorry Sam! I have black rear lights at the moment non LED but as I said the drivers side has a hole in it from a stone, so either I find a second hand drivers side black unit or I upgrade them to LEDs.. Quote
mick-r1 Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 A few years back I seen a 350 forum stand at silverstone and 3 cars had l.e.d taillights with a "z" kike those in the light. At the time they looked amazing. But since getting a 350 and going looking for them I cant find the ones I seen, either that or it was so new to be seen then that I just thought all along they were better than what I had seen. Quote

KyleR Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Problem with those is only drivers side is a Z, passenger side is a weird 2. Just buy those ones from the states from e other thread, only took about 5-6 days to get here and no customs because its paid for by the sender. Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks Kyle, your probably right but I just liked the pretend carbon look and they are a bit smoked as well. Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Sam's zed is a supercharged heavily modded Zed so it can pull of quite frankly rediculous lights, but they would look crap on a standard (ish) Zed.... Quote
Vlad Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 What about these? http://bit.ly/17OFlVg £160 delivered and just take them to a body shop to get tinted...just had mine done for £50 and look spot on! So around £200 mark then you will get brand new OEM ish looking lights Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks Vald. I have a set of standard OEM red rear lights, as you suggest may be worth getting them tinted Quote
Vlad Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Just to give you an idea Mine are standard non led lights Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Just to give you an idea Mine are standard non led lights Thanks Vlad. They look good. That could be a way forward. Quote
WhackyWill Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 Just to give you an idea Mine are standard non led lights Thanks Vlad. They look good. That could be a way forward. Just noticed you tinted your indicators and reversing light as well ? Quote
spursmaddave Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 standard non LEDs are dim enough anyway without tinting!!! Quote
Vlad Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Yea, tinted my indicators as well, myself with that special tint film for the headlights etc...all light still goes thru fine and indicators flash orange Dave...hmmm might be, but I didn't notice it being too dim! And after tinting either...still very visible! Quote

But what about some old guy in a car ( not me ) I just don't like tinted lights that's all nothing personal I had silver indicators on my Zed which were dimmer so maybe I am just fickle Quote
