Re: Smoked Led rear lights for sale(sold)
IMO these LED`s either the Black or smoked versions are one of the best mod`s you can make - they just take years off the age of the car and bring it bang up to date I still can`t get over the intensity of the brake lights much better than the stock lights.

Re: Smoked Led rear lights for sale(sold)
They are completely new units the red side light and brake lights are LED`s the indicators and reversing lights use the existing bulbs but with different lenses, I changed the reversing lights for LED bulbs for a whiter light which are bright enough and kept the stock amber indicator bulbs as they work well enough in the new set up.

Re: LED Tail lights
It must be the way Americans do business if they have no stock, I bought 2 lots off them in stock and they were perfect with mine.

Re: LED Tail lights
Don't waste your time or money with them, I paid in August, it's now November and haven't heard a thing from them except 'sorry, still not in stock (even though we said they were)'. I wouldn't deal with them again now out of principle.

Thanks - as for the green badging, I have a bit of a green theme going - green LEDS, nordic green spoiler & wheels, green Lockwood grille, green badges ...bunch1980 wrote:Very nice not to dark a tint either like you see boy racers with lol, whats with green badging?
I was considering ordering some from Carid, but saw there may be a long wait involved so I resigned myself to not getting them ... then bigpete put a set up for sale, so a big thanks to him and a big thanks to Aston and Essex Rotary for fitting them for me (along with the Greddy sump and uprated oil regulator thing).ChocolateTeapot wrote:I cancelled my order, CARID are an absolute bloody joke, the worst of all internet selling crimes is listing products as 'in stock' when they're on backorder.

Re: LED Tail lights
Ordered black LED tail lights from CARID back in March,(not part of group buy) been put on back order 3 times now with a new shipping date of 18th December.
Have been offered clear/smoke or refund but I really want the black ones so have decided to wait each time.
You never know, I maybe get them from Santa.

Re: LED Tail lights
Just had a look on the Carid web site and they are quoting a shipping date of 1st February 2016 for the Black & Clear tail lights but 29 sets of Smoked in stock.

Re: LED Tail lights
eBay lights came from Tawain with no customs or postage fee and only worked out about £40 more than the Caeid ones when you factor in customs etc.

Re: LED Tail lights
£800+ for a set of Kamikaze LED tail lights - that is what they will cost you inc`painting, plus import taxes, handling charge etc.
The indicator and reversing light bulbs you can see look right at home in the pastry cutters.
I don`t think you will see an orderly queue forming for those by many owners on here.

Wasn't it 800-900£ for the carbon ones? I saw that price on japanparts and i have to say, in carbon, they look incredibleDelanor wrote:£800+ for a set of Kamikaze LED tail lights - that is what they will cost you inc`painting, plus import taxes, handling charge etc.

** Edit, ok it wasn't kamikaze lights... but way better RE Amemiya full carbon tail lights... only £660...
https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/40934
The FRP one are only £100 cheaper making the carbon ones look like the best when you consider carbon, style and performance.
To me a brand new tail light shouldn't go foggy after only 2 weeks like these carid ones are known to do

Re: LED Tail lights
Only £660 what about £68 shipping and then import duty/handling charge etc when they arrive, you can get thumped for a percentage of your £728 total cost depending on the carrier.mzivtins wrote: ** Edit, ok it wasn't kamikaze lights... but way better RE Amemiya full carbon tail lights... only £660...

AFAIK only one set of lights have leaked and I think that was down to fitting - one wire lays across the gasket and water will probably track along it and into the light, I disconnected it then fed the wires through separate holes and re-connected the wires in the boot and mine haven`t leaked.
I`ll stick with my totally inferior £230 LED lights - they look like OE LED lights and don`t look like add ons.
