Title: Really???

"One Light does have a small crack going Through about an Inch Long Nothing Major."

Pretty major if your expected to pay £400 I'd say.

I was thinking £400 was a hell of a lot of money to be paying for a light with a small crack.  Just didnt realise they would go for this much, or should I say someone is foolish enough to pay that much!!

No way I would pay £400 for these lights...even if they fitted a ten door motor..... :grin:

I think I paid just over £400 for mine.... but as everyone is after them I sold them for about the same. only cost me £30-40 for the pleasure of the best mod  :cool:

Might just give them a miss with the price they are asking, much better way of spending £400 on the car!!

If you do a few seaches I know quite a few people have posted what they paid for them. Most dealers will do asdeal on them, if not try.a TPS trade counter. Iirc 450 was the average about a year ago.
Those on eBay are damaged and imho not worth that.

Brand new price is £520.

I can get them for £400 new as the parts manager is a family friend.

Those on eBay are way over priced.

Second hand should e £300-350 depending upon condition IMHO.

I paid £430 for mine from a dealer with 15% discount, i was quite happy with this as i know i'll be able to sell them for between £300 and £350 easy!

Those on ebay are from Smethwick so are more than likely from one of our ethnic bretherin! Innit?

This is an expensive mod, but worth doing as they look so much nicer.

Do you still need to buy a conversion harness for the wiring, or does this come with the lights from the dealer?

Rear LED's are one of the best mods. Go for it. Have a word with your dealer to see if you can get some discount.

That price is about right.. Undamaged.  And they fit a 2012 R32. Thats why they are so much.

There's no such thing as a 2012 R32. Aren't the rear light clusters on the MK5 a different size/shape to the MK6 anyway? I don't see how those will fit an R32 if they're off a MK6.
Also don't understand why it states 3 door only.

That was my point.. Not a very informed seller.

Might be worth someone who's interested in a group buy for these to start a thread in the Bargain Hunter Section - Group Buys and then post a link to it in here to see what interest there is....just a thort!!
