arrhh, i c, thanks just being nosey lol

Hey Sublime - are you fixing them yourself or what?? more info please

Yours looked pretty clean to be honest..

Any chance of a nice big photo of those tail lights in question? Never had the chance to look at some

There's a nice big pic

Anyway, the lights weren't sealed properly and water leaked inside and u can see the glue running down inside the lights. and water collects inside them. I can actually grab the lenses from the sides, pull them up a bit and the water drains out
definately not what i expect out of $1400 lights.. but apparently it's a common problem.

well all i have to do is take the lense off, wipe off the glue and reapply some clear glue, and put some clear selastic around the edges so it doesnt leak again.. the tricky part is getting the lense off.. i don't want to use a heat gun, cos i don't know the quality of the plastic and i don't want to warp the plastic out of shape. I'm a little reluctant to chuck them in the oven considering the price of them.. Ben said he'll ask his mechanic if he knows anybody that can do anything about the lights so hopefully i can get a positive responce from there, but in the meantime i'll post on the UK forum since the lights are a lot more common there, so somebody's bound to be able to help me..!!

but i'm confident i can fix them eventually, doesn't seem too hard, i just don't want to damage the plastic

Your car used to have them!

God, even though i've seen that car a hundred times it still makes me grow a big rubbery one, so hawt, just a pity about the silver

Yeah I was wondering if they were similar, I don't have those photo's in a big size anywhere, was pondering getting the back issue of hot4s. Gah I've forgotten which issue it was in though

Hehe it needs them back imho

Something to save for in the new year I guess

Thanks for the pics much appreciated. PS where are the pics of my car to be found haha
