The difference is huge when compared to the pre-LCI. The new lights are just more 3D and adds so much to the look of the car.

Have to say... sat behind a LCI saloon in a queue of traffic yesterday and can see what you mean by the 3D effect but would I really be bothered to splash out that much on a set of rear lights, when my pre LCI tail lights are pretty good anyway, i don't think so.

Much rather use the hard earned for a performance upgrade so I can escape rather than have someone sitting up my chuff trying to see some lights

I want the lights regardless of the cost , doing all the mods and every time I see these lights I wish I had them .

Don't get me wrong Pre LCI lights good as well but not as good as LCI IMO

I'd be putting the money towards buying an LCI car. Don't get me wrong, the lights are nice and if you know what your looking for you can tell, but are they worth nearly £1k really?

I did my conversion for about £350 all in. Managed to get the LCI lights for a steal on ebay in May last year. Sold my old pre LCI lights for £180 too so it can be done relatively cheaply if you keep your eyes peeled.
