I'm sure you already know you can get them new online so i guess you are looking for second hand?


I recently fired some black (as opposed to chrome) Lexus style lights and really like how they look, and the fact that reverse its so much brighter.

they were around £75 to buy, afterburners are quite a bit more but do look awesome.

There were two types, IIRC.

One with 3 lamps per side, and one with 4 lamps per side.

The ones I bought from Zertec have four. Clive didn't give me the choice of anything different. IIRC he was the first to start selling them and the only ones I saw advertised through Sprint.

I thought they were just a cheap after market light for the Fiesta ! Do they have to be different in anyway to work on the Chimaera .

I heard whispers that the reverse light is in a different place ..

How dare you!! when they first came out there was no such thing as cheap after market lights for the Fiesta (12 years ago eek )

The Zertec ones have two reverse lights I'll have you know biggrin

? Proper ones or not look awesome and just ordered some, producing more due to demand and a few weeks before despatch but look ace and apparently easy to swap.

Easy swap for the old Fiesta lights yes. Requires some body mods if you have the newer land rover lights (as I have just discovered to my cost. As I see you have a 98 Chim its probs worth checking first.

The Fiesta lights are squarish and I think come as one unit (which is separate to the tub) the newer ones are round and the holders are part of the tub, hence the need for fibreglass work. If you have the new ones get a quote for the necessary mods first! And if you get a really good quote let me know!
