[Mk2] [NA] Those with lexus lights.......

[mrRobbo2]

Do they have a reverse light in the unit or will i need to fit seperate reverse lights in the rev3 centre panel?

I am wanting to smooth the panel out and not sure if they have reverse built in.

Also is it an easy swap from rev2 to lexus? using existing looms etc?

Cheers

Can't answer all the questions there but the Rev3 has reversing lights in the centre panel so the Lexus will be the same unless you modify them.

But if it helps (I wouldn't recommend it) you don't have to have reversing lights for the MOT and to drive on the road.

hi jaspa

yeah understand you dont need reverse lights apparantly, but I will want some fitting.

I was hoping the lexus units had reverse lights incorporated though.

[phipck]

my old ones i removed didnt, i replaced them with rev3 lenses and still dont have reverse. i dont want them mounted in the centre panel so will be sorting something custom as i cant see to reverse in the dark.....i tried using the fog light.....but thats a fail waiting to happen!

[mrRobbo2]

lol

i might just have to source a rev3 centre panel with reverse lights then.
Its not what i wanted todo but never mind!

cheers for the info!

Don't bother with Lexus lights either they look crap. A set of Rev3's with centre panel is the best way to go.

dude?! by the same merit mr2's are hairdressers cars so we should probably get something more masculine?

personal opinion is a wonderful thing, yours might just be different from somone elses!

[mrRobbo2]

haha i knew someone would be along with the lexus are crap!

too a certain extent yeah but depends how there done.

its my second rev2 and ive done the rev3 upgrade so wanna be different this time and do black lexus. its a yellow 2 with black wheels. itll fit in better!

agree there hairdresser cars but its all about the confidence baby!

if your panel and lights are black , you could tint the reverse lights ?

[mrRobbo2]

Thats a good point! i like that

im undecided on a black or yellow panel yet. time will tell....

would look better on a black panel, and polished to a shine

[mrRobbo2]

im thinking black lexus lights and black panel on yellow car would look nice.

then i would tint the reverse lights.

if the panels yellow i will keep them clear

[BLZ-8027]

I dont find the reverse lights bright enough to reverse with anyway ,more to show other people you are going the wrong way ,:whistle:

could fit some led lights behind the rear grill and mesh the grill (unless you have cut it off)

[mrRobbo2]

i have dark smoke tints on the rear too so i wouldnt see them anyway!

but i defo want them on for the purpose of other road users!

I will just get a rev3 panel and lights, least its a tidy uncomplicated mod!

Lexus have no reverse lights, will need to have some in centre panel if you want to include them, i have opted to leave them out, still passed MOT no problem...

[mrRobbo2]

Im awaiting a smooth centre panel and i have ordered 2 LED reverse lights, they are thin and i am planning to mount them down near the grill.

I want them in for peace of mind, other drivers will be aware what im doing.

i like what youve done there mind, works really well
