Re: What are the best rear fog light bulbs

Thanks for the advice everyone :D I emailed a guy on Ebay who told me that the LED lights with 24+ LED's on will be very bright through a clear lens so I've ordered these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250160512647&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=015 My fussy M...

Re: What are the best rear fog light bulbs

Isn't it a 21W bulb same as a brake light? Hi Lauren, Yes it is, the guy that imported the car painted a standard 21W bulb Reb and it gave a slightly pink glow through the white reversing light! :? I've just checked it again it is quite bright so I'll just buy a proper 21W red bulb I think, althoug...

With the 12 LED bulb its a bit pathetic, I just wonder what red bulb is the best?

Won't the standard bulb be too dim in a white cluster? The MOT tester wanted it to be brighter?

What are the best rear fog light bulbs

Hi All, I'm taking my MR2 out of hibernation and need to get an MOT done, my fog was fitted into the drivers side reversing light with a switch and a painted bulb, I replaced the painted buld with a 12 LED red light for the last MOT but the MOT fella said it wasn't really bright enough. Does anyone ...

Re: which is better and why

Ooh I just made it 50/50, I like them both but the styling of the B wins it for me and I love the Supercharger.
Having said that if I could ever afford and had the space for an A as well I'd have both. I don't think you can go wrong with either, Toyota did a great job with both IMO.

Re: mk1 mr2 sc

I'd say between 3 - 3.5K is normal, if someone offered my £5400 for my 1989 T-Bar I'd rip there hand off!
I sold a tin top for £3300 and brought my T-Bar for similar money recently and neither were rusty and both have around 70K miles.
Good luck car hunting,
Jon

Re: The jinx strikes again !!!

Hi Kev, I'm really sorry to hear about the accident and hope your feeling better! Best of luck with the car, if you do need a hand I work in Tonbridge and could meet you after work one evening to help out getting it on a trailer.
All the best,

Thanks Steve, it does look a bit old compared to what they sell on their website but I may give them a call as they might have heard of it.

Re: Coilovers

What do you all think? I think I'd like coilovers but at the moment I can afford the Koni's from Awesome-GTi (£366.60 including VAT and delivery) and these coilovers will be at least an extra £260 and have not been tried and tested. This sums it up for me I think, especially with my current budget:...
