GT3 Rear lights from where?

[armynick]

Can anyone please tell me which Toyota car are the rear light clusters on a 97 GT3 ?

It's got to be cheaper sourcing them from anyone else apart frpom Lotus.

Cheers

Hi there, if they used the same lights as on the early stevens cars they are off an 84-85 Toyota Corolla.
The part numbers for the left side is: 81561-1A240 and right side is: 81551-1A240. There is a rear view pic of my car in my profile to make sure.

I too have a spare set although one side has a crack which am told can be fixed. If your interested drop me a line through my profile.

Hope this helps.
Cheers
Kylie

Thanks guys but it looks like my mechanic has fixed everything all ready for my return home.

Don't assume the Toyota sourced part will be cheaper.

Eg a ball joint for a 4WD Toyota van is $NZ485 whereas an Esprit one was $NZ40 from SJ Sportscars.

An after market Toyota compatible ball joint was $NZ67

A friend worked for a Toyota dealer and for an example the trade price for a car headlight was $150 and retail was $650

There are after market suppliers of Toyota lights. A local supplier imports Taiwanese copies at a third of the cost of new ones.

Pity that it has to be this way. They must make thousands of the parts and fleece plenty of unwary customers of their hard-earned, just goes to show, buyer beware.
Shame on them.
