Rear LED Tail lights for Rover 75 and MG ZT Ordering and progress - Page 2

If the unlikely event that the lights are an MOT problem, then the more devious amongst us could keep the originals for MOT day and then swap back on these beauties.

Not that I would encourage such behaviour, of course.

Pretty certain it is...

When it gets dark I'll go outside with a torch and test mine

Mine went through an MOT with them in last week - no problem

Regarding the Reflectors,

Factory states that these are IDENTICAL To the Originals. If the Originals have anything, These have them too !

No New orders to report on the Lights today.
Somehow I think this is gonna fizzle and die.
Is Price the Issue ? If so, what Price point is acceptable, Maybe I can do something with the factory.

My personal problem is that the car is being a pain in the rear needing mechanical attention

otherwise I would have bought these.

I do fear its the price thats the issue. I think if they where closer to £100 you would get the orders.

Shame you couldnt make replicas and sell them on. Not like the chinese care for copyright.

Radio guy, could they be made cheaper?

Hi MacGyver,
Thanks for your feedback
Shipping included in above alone is 30£. Paypal Fees another 7£. That would leave only 63£ For the Lights. (Pair)

Sorry that 100£ isn't realistic. I don't understand why so many jumped on the bandwagon on the other thread at 190£ plus Local Shipping. I counted almost 100 Units. I AM working to get costs down with some success. But won't be anywhere near 100£ .

Should I just drop this ?

I think you need to stick with it until the weekend at least fella. Some people may be working long hours Monday to Friday and not get the chance to come on here

Maybe some just don't know you are doing these yet.
