Looking for the cheapest way to fix it


Recommended Posts

I hit a pole when I was doing the street side reverse parking.

The left tail light housing is broken. So I have to purchase a new light.

Does anyone know where I can get a second-hand one as a new one costs 500AUD?(I live in Melbourne)

The mechanic told me that rear bumper will be repaired instead of being replaced.

The last problem is that the boot seems doesn't match the car perfectly because the gap looks a little bit bigger than before

I'm looking for a cheaper way to fix them. All suggestions are welcome!

Thanks

1 side for $500? :lol: That's a lot more than what I'm currently selling, a pair and it's hybrid too. :s.

Yeah, go ebay or try wreckers buddy.

Thanks you and I think it helps but there's one question.

Mine is SX6, does it have the same taillight as normal Aurion(At-X, prodigy,presara)

because on that ebay page indicates that

Item Description:

Brand New Non Genuine LHS - Passenger Side Tail Light To Suit Toyota Aurion Sedan Models From 6/06 - 7/09

Will not suit Sportivo or TRD models.

Yeah, at least 2007 model are all the same

Finally, I decided to get one from China.

Sx6 has same headlight as a atx/prodigy

Not exactly. The Sportivo and TRD have a darker shade of red (which I suspect is inside tiniting of the chrome... thanks Steven) for the tailights and the headlights have a tinted chrome internal. This makes them both appear darker. So you will in fact have mismatched lights if you don't change all of them if going between grades.

In terms of the OP's question, the physical size and dimensions are the same though.

Edit: I happen to have a left side tail light for a pre-facelift Sportivo BTW. It means a bit to me however, but I guess I may be able to part with it.

When I find the right supplier, I would let you know.

Currently, I can't find who sells the sportivo tail light in China.

If anyone is willing, I have a 2nd hand left side tail light that I will part with for $100 plus shipping. No right side sorry, in case you ask.

If you were to ask me though, getting the hybrid tail lights would be a smart move.

It's good enough to see hybrid lights on silver. I wonder how it'll look on a silver TRD? :rolleyes: . We knew how sick it is on a black TRD. Just some1 we know didn't appreciate it that much and decided to swap to Ford. Oppps.. Went too far. :whistling::lol:

Personally though, if I was to put those new style lights on, I would rather get the full clear tail lights instead of the hybrid. They look so much better again.

True, each to their own. I kinda like it too, but It's good to see something difference for a change. :lol:

Come to think of it, you just gave me an idea.. I'll see if it works out real good. :D

These hybrid tail lights are from the rstyleracing site yes? They will actually fit the 08 sportivo? It says 07-09 i guess but just checking to make sure because they do look like the new design which doesnt fit the 08...

Yes from R Style, and facelift lights will fit on the pre-facelift and vice-versa, so you don't have to worry about fitting issues.
