Hi all,

I know people are often looking for improvements on the ford units most of us have on our cars at the moment, and I came across these on the rossion website. Has anyone tried them or got any views on these ?

These lights are from a Hyundai and as far as I know the rear clam still needs to be cut to accommodate them, unfortunately they are not a straight forward direct swap for the standard ford lights. There is a car on eBay that is claiming to be the only noble to of fitted these in the uk and they do look pretty good.

There is a M400 in Aberdeen which has them so the add isn't correct.

A bodyshop local to me quoted £1200 to cut and modify the clam but i never bothered in the end. They do look nice though.

I imagine they will be pretty easy to fit, they look good and are very reasonably priced.

quite a bit cutting... they are wider by around 1-2inches!

I actually prefer the std lights with selective tinting so have not modded my clip to fit these one.

As Andy says, they are MUCH bigger than the standard units. If you look at the rear of a US car you'll see the area where the Noble badge is applied is far slimmer than that of a UK car and for this reason I think any UK clam that is modified for these to fit will look a bit odd.

The M400 that Graham mentioned actually has a US spec rear clam and so there's no evidence of modding or misalignment as it was designed to suit the lights, not the other way round.

If you want to have a go, look in a breakers for Hyundai Sonata which will be significantly cheaper than new, then shove them in the dishwasher. Works a treat biggrin

I think these lights look the part I no someone that's hacked them in his uk clam. They look good on his. But would look better on a different colour car.

I have bought myself a second hand set of standard rear lights, smoke-painted them, then sanded down with 3 different grids (course to fine), then polished, this is the result :



Looks great imho

//edit : there is no color difference, the left light looks brighter due to sunlight wink
