So I got those 120y sedan tail lights from Bangkok parts on ebay. I feel compelled to give them a review for anyone wishing to purchase them for thier Y.I made the pics 1200 x 900 for a bit more detail so they're hosted on my imageshack account.
Firstly the packing wasn't bad at all, nice and secure (packing straps around box, foam wrap inside, bubble wrap inside individual boxes and plastic bag over light) but the cost is silly.
Here you can see the difference in the coloring of the units. The lens is removable compared to the original one being glued in. This will be useful because I plan to stick a reflective strip behind the red reflector to block the light of the tail lights ruining the original light profile.
The surrounds are of the same profile but different, the new one is just chromed plastic and pained to give the basic look where the original has a stainless steel trim. This is why I'd like to find a good nick surround for my origional lights cos I happen to like the stainless.
Not much to say here. The femal connector doesn't seem to lock into place like the original so I'll swap the wiring over with my old one (plus the indicator seems to be stuck rather than flashing so instead of doing the right thing and checking the flashers I'm going to revert to the old wiring which worked yesterday :P)
I was talking to a guy on ebay who also bought these and he wasn't real happy with the quality of the lenses, I expected there to be differences in every unit so I'm not real worried plus what I do with my car negates the need for concourse finish lenses.
Overall I like them and they'll suit me fine so I can put my originals in the shed and track down some surrounds for them. I'm going to make my own gaskets for these though as the supplied gaskets are about 1\3 of the thickness of the originals. The plastic has enough give to pull up into the body but we'll see how they handle a couple of khanacrosses and the associated vibrations.
