Ross Mac Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hi, Im after a set of the LED rear lights that I thnk became OEM on the 06 spec Z's iirc? I've been on ebay uk but think that circa £250 is a lot for a set. I then took a gander at us ebay and found a plethora of different LED rear lights so I was just wondering if anyone had any experiance about buying lights from across the pond? These ones seem very very close to OEM style and spec: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSAN-3 ... enameZWDVW What you guys think? Better off giving them a a wide berth or give them a go? Also how hard is it to fit the rear lights? Is it a nightmarish bumper off job? Cheers Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 I thought they were about £199 for the pair? MikeyF got some from Holdcroft IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 you will also need a discount code in order to ge this price. You will need to contact a mod or admin and he'll supply the code. Not sure if MrF at MJP is back at work yet either but do try him or holdcroft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 the other thing is, some need a slight adaptation to make them work in the uk (holdcroft) i think they are jap spec not true uk, if you buy from nissan ( who holdcroft are ?? ) they are plug and play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not rue plug and play but pretty close. 5 min job anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on what has been posted, they should be available, using a discount code available through this forum, for £199. Holdcroft are a Nissan dealer. MJP are a trader on here, and also offer a discount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Mac Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thanks for all the input guys with regards to where to get them from on the forum, however my question about US spec lights is still outstanding - does anyone know if these will fit a UK car, or if there are any differences that I need to be aware of? If it would be loads of hassle to get them to work I'd sack them off and get some from Holdcrofts etc but if I can save circa £50 then I will just get them from the states Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 don't know what the connectors are like. The OEM ones from the states were direct plug and play with no stanley knife required. I don't know of anyone who has bought these alternatives. Also bear in mind import duty & VAT possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Mac Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hmm very valid points about the VAT and import duty - I'll contact the seller and see what they say... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Mine were from holdcroft and cost less than £199 and DID need to be modified slightly, which even I managed to do myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted November 7, 2007 Share Posted November 7, 2007 Hmm very valid points about the VAT and import duty - I'll contact the seller and see what they say... its more to do with HM Customs and Exise this side of the Atlantic.
