I really like all these LED lights for the back of the kit cars and carbon fibre(look) head lights etc

only thing is I think S-V-C is very expensive ?

anywhere else that sells smart lighting for kit cars?

Chris,

they may seem expensive but I firmly believe that you get what you pay for when it comes to lighting.

I think you'll struggle to beat SVC for quality products at the right price.

Likewise, they're not cheap, but the service I have received and the quality of the parts makes it worth it IMO.

If you're looking to save a bit of money, do like I did and don't bother with a reverse light (you don't have to have one) and use the side repeaters from your donor car (they're free).

I have the SVC LED rears and I think they are brilliant.
You can see them much better in daylight I'm told, and you will never have a blown bulb - (obviously)

Cheers

I actually agree with zxrlocost.
I too think SVC's prices are very high. I accept that they sell mostly high quality products but feel that they probably base their charging structure on "what the market will stand" rather than "actual cost plus realistic profit for value added."
I too am looking for an alternative, more realistically priced source.
If more people did this then maybe we would not find ourselves getting ripped off quite so much in this country.
IMHO of course.

But have you seen the quality of SVC's stuff? I for one am happy to pay the price they charge for the quality of the product.

Ultimately, the decision is yours but you get what you pay for.

i consider it much better value for money than most other companies supplying the kit scene

if you want to harangue (i'm sure it is a word, but unsure of speeling) someone about overpricing, take it up with europa!

i've had cause to sort a problem out with steve, partly caused through my own doing, but he made a special order to their suppliers for 'custom' parts for me, and took back the original item that did not fit, all without hesitation or quibble. you will not deal with a nicer company these days.

the led rears are like no other, just like their chrome on BRASS headlamps. you pays your money, you takes your choice
