Clear Indicator Lights - £1k !!! is that true

[matt_33]

I've got a 98 C2 and was thinking about getting clear indicator lights. I spoke to a local dealer who said that they cost around £1k (for front, side and back). Labour cost would only be £50. Do these cheap bits of plastic really cost £1k - does anyone know anywhere selling them cheaper?

i think design 911 or essential styling do them for a reasonable price? definately worth it though, i was pleased with mine!

its 2 new headlights, 2 new rear light assemblies and 2 small side lights.

Of the top of my head it was about £670 when I changed my 98 c2 over. I then called round the breakers and sold the old ones for £250 which part subsidised this.

the market for the old ones is pretty healthy due to the common fitment on the boxster.

A little tip to get the cost down, buy boxster front lights rather than 911 units. The same bar the fact they haven`t got height adjusters. You will save money though.

What is the height adjustment? Is that just the tilting of the lights - i.e. if the car is tilting up because I'm pulling a caravan (yeh, like that's going to happen)I can tilt the lights down more? If so, I don't think I've ever used this in any of my cars - so think the Boxster light seems a good call.
