Dave-2912 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 You should tell your insurance company about anything that changes the look or performance of your car from standard. You dont want to give them a reason not to pay out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyb Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Yes you should tell your insurance company and I think you would need to inform the style police too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I would not tell anyone i had fitted them to my car, it would be too embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewL Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 For some reason on an internet forum, people say whatever they want, however offensive. If we were all sitting in a room together it would be entirely different, probably partly due to respect for others and common decency and partly for fear of getting your !Removed! kicked I reckon. I'm not saying that anything in this thread particularly applies to the above comment, but there does seem to be a lot of this going on at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you there i mean if i was sat in a room and someone that i don't know said what mr kipling said to me i would have to punch yeh lights out. the end of the day i dont know him he does know me. and i have noicted lately people post a commet and theres always a few idiots that insults yeh and i bet half of these people would say what they say on here to your face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark M.K Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I agree with the above comments about how bad they look etc, however its his own car so if he wants to have them, then let him make up his own mind about it. As for your topic question, yes you would have to tell the insurance company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aph1101 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 As with Mark and Andrew above, can we please not let this turn into another of those bickering threads.

Mark M.K Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Everything i post on here i always get one or more idiot takeing the mick why?. That i can't answer, maybe its something you should ask the people who pick on your posts? If your not happy with some people, tell one of the mods who will look into it for you.

Mark M.K Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Best thing for you to do i'd say is this, Don't reply to somebody who picks on you like igglepiggle has. He only wants your raction to his posts. If you ignore, he will stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al J Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Oh dear, this is why one of the reasons I stopped posting on Toyota Owners Club. A few people who have to insult someone or other. Please tell me it's a car forum first and foremost! Anyway, I've always thought those lights look best on a Lexus but each to their own and I'd fight for your right to put them on your car if you wanted to. It's not like those having a go are giving you the money for them, right? ;) To answer your question, as some have already said, yes, you should inform your insurance company as you don't want any future claim (heaven forbid!) nullified by not telling them beforehand. If you check your policy it'll state this somewhere. They're more bothered about performance mods (engine, wheels, suspension) as these could affect the car's safety. So could your lights, they could argue but they should be fine about it as long as they're legal and correctly connected. They do like to be told though. I added some new alloys to a previous car and phoned my insurance company. They logged the info and that was that. No increase in premium as it was a 'cosmetic' mod. Worth a short phone call to avoid any grief, I'd say. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
