I am thinking about getting some Lexus style Rear lights for my Fabia vRS. Does anyone know how easy or difficult it is to remove the rear lights and then replace them. I am looking at a set of black lexus rear lights. I think that they would look good on my black vRS.

Any help, opinions or tips greatly recieved.

Cheers

Personally I think the lights you're fitting really bring the tone of the car down, however in your favour they'l be easy to change.

Lex-**** lights huh? You can get chrome 'style' Ripspeed sill inserts too from your local Halfrauds.

:rofl:

As said, the lights are a piece of cake to change, 5 mins a side tops.

Be prepared for a slating, many people believe they detract from the look of the car (myself included!)

But regardless, don't forget to post up some piccys when your done.

ANd our Fabia vRS already have some tasty stainless steel sill covers!

5 mins a side :eek: ... how many of you have done it!!! 15 mins a side inc. taking boot trim etc. off carefully so as not to brake it! (held on with very annoying clips... sharp tugs needed but be carefull. (spare wheel has to come out to get to two screws holding on boot trim accross bottom of boot)

Boot trim has to come off to get to a couple of the 4 bolts per light cluster.

:confused: No spare wheel removal for me, just pull the carpet back behind the light and voila, 4 screws!!! 5 min a side definently...

Anyway he won't need to change them, he'l see the light

very strange! the two inner screws on both sides were covered by plastic trim which is held in place by the trim that runs along the bottom edge of the boot (where the door catch is) and to get this off wheel has to come out to get to two screws. :confused: is my fabia retarded!!!

is my fabia retarded!!!

Dunno? Been a while since I took mine out, but deffo didn't have to remove the spare wheel or anything

strange! done it two weeks ago... mines a '53, not sure what urs it... but even still there should be no difference :confused: :confused:

Anyway trim removed or not... its a very easy job to do

I'd said slighty more than 5 mins! It's fairly tight so your probably scuff your knuckles abit!

Of and allow more time if you drop the nut aswel as it's a right bu99er to find!

Does anyone see a patten forming with me here?

Here's my set.

People have expressed their opinions on them before on the board, but those who have seen them in the flesh aren't so disparaging.

Although on reflection (sic) the black ones would have been better for a yellow car.

I am sorry but they look unfinished.
