I didn't option the laser lights

How screwed am I?

MyBestMidLifeCrisis · 03-10-2022, 01:39 PM

I did not option them either. The LED lights are plenty good enough for me anyway. I'd rather spend the extra on other things for the car.

Not screwed at all. But you'll probably hear otherwise!

If you have one on order and really unhappy, you can walk away and find another allocation.

If you have already bought the vehicle, does the forum opinion really matter.

Screwed in what sense? If you didn't want it then, why would you now. Now if you didn't really know what it was / how it looked and you saw the difference in the aesthetics now, that's on you.

ChargerHellcat · 03-10-2022, 01:42 PM

If you don't like it or is worth a thousand bucks. You're fine. If you want to retrofit it because you want the looks and now the function of it. You're screwed.

Neek · 03-10-2022, 01:49 PM

You might as well just park the vehicle at sundown, because without laserlights you'll probably hit a tree or something.

Kidding. You'll be fine. I'm sure it's nice to have, but you aren't 'screwed' without them.

I'm not sure in what context the OP asked the question.
If he has made a mistake in a custom spec I think his post already answers his question, however if he's got options and is looking for advice he's now got some feedback.
I wouldn't have a GXX without them for all the reasons mentioned but each to their own as they say.
If they were a zero cost option I doubt anyone would pass on them, but we all have a budget I guess.

Thanks for the responses guys. I didn't know any better when I ordered. The car is almost here so it's too late for me. Just curious how the stock lights will compare. Surprisingly limited amount of pictures online of G80s with stock lights. MyBestMidLifeCrisis Looks like we have similar builds, any pics you can share of the front end?

Nice, thanks man. That actually doesn't look bad at all.

Limegrntaln · 03-10-2022, 02:17 PM

Well, two things you're not going to do is add laser lights, or carbon buckets, after the fact, so, you better love what you ordered.

You'll forget about the lights pretty quickly when you see it.
