"Alternative" lights for R75 - Page 5

JohnDotCom · 27th December 2007, 11:10

The response I have had is that they are not listed on their Systems and to contact "China" direct.
I have not been able to trace any so far but am continuing the Search.

I for one would be willing to trade my right whatsit for a set of MG7 rear lights for my prefacelift facelift 75.

Please let us know if you get any respomse from China.

Stubs

Well I have removed the lights from my 75

I don't know why but I just went off them completely after a few weeks. Something about them just didn't suit the car - especially at dusk when it looked like there were pieces missing off the 2 rear corners due to the black lights

So they are gone now - resold on eBay :lol:

Next stop - the MG7 lights

Still no Reply to my Queries on the MG7 rear Light Clusters.
Now they are smart.

Agreed on the new MG7 clusters. They do look very smart and a worthy of Rovers original design approval in my book any day. If I were to upgrade my lights I would go for the new MG7 ones - that's if they ever became available, that is.....

I followed a Wedgewood Blue 75 through Tamworth town center last week, it had the clear lens (**xus style) read clusters....They looked Naff with a capital N.

I like the MG7 style, had a mad idea years ago of converting some Toyota Avensis clusters, strange how the MG7 has a similar layout.

I also planned to convert my headlamps with B*W 5 series before the face lift 75/ZT's hit our roads.

Isn't it weird how the MG7 is how I wanted my car to look back in 2001

I know its a each to their own, but I think the MG7 rear lights are too "asian copy", and cheapen the look of the rear end- sorry
