Will these courtesy lights fit a regular RC350 F sport?

The doors for the 350 and rc-f are virtually the same. Hardware wise. Don't see why they wouldn't. Ordered my set earlier so ill let you know how it goes with the install.

The yellow tinted headlights looked sweet! Do you have any more pics of that set up?

Hey guys,
sorry slow to respond.
Here's a link to amazon for the courtesy lights.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B015M...236_SY340_QL65
I said in a previous reply I paid $28. But I checked my amazon purchase history and this is what I bought. $16.99
Not sure if it's different than the ones for $28
Just to confirm, RCF & RC350/250 lights are all the same.

Well I got a bummer call today. My carbon fiber hood had complications during production. Guess now I gotta wait a lil' more. But at least they notified me immediately. Good customer relations !! Big props for JL Composites!
But then I got a FedEx tracking from RR. They sent out my coilovers today!
Guess one offsets the other...

Also ordered this today. Gonna look sweet along with my custom DCTMS steering wheel. Can't wait!

Well I finally finished the calipers today.
Ended up with silver base powder coat, polished flat front area with 2 tone brembo logo, then gloss clear powder coat.
Will try to install next few days along w the RR griodisk rotors & endless pads.
What do y'all think? Was gonna do all red logo. Ended up with white & red.

My courtesy lights came in yesterday from Amazon, thanks for letting us know about these. Enjoying your build. Do you belong to Club Lexotic in Atlanta? I'll be up in Alpharetta in a few weeks getting my Sikky headers installed on my RCF at Topspeed Motorsports, we should get up for a few photos and some grub!

yeah man, no prob. I thought those lights are pretty cool for as little as they cost.
Y'all actually been buying a different version of the courtesy light than ones I got.
Mine were $17 but don't have the life time lense warranty.
I actually think they're the same product, just packaged & sold differently.

No I'm not part of Lexotic. The guy that started the club is actually part owner of the company that's making my carbon fiber hood. I've never met him though.
Dont think there's much going on with that club. Could be wrong tho.

When are are you coming to Alpharetta? I live in canton but travel to Alpharetta few days a week.
Going to Savannah for HPDE at Robeling 11/10-11/12. Hope it's not around then.
I'll send you a pm tomorrow to work that out.
Would love to see your car and shake your hand. Looking forward to seeing all that alcantara custom work!

Did you go to a vinyl shop for the yellow tint film or did you buy a precut kit from online? If so, do you happen to have a link?

Hey! What was the original wait time for your CF Hood? Seibon Carbon here in CA does not have any interest at the moment in R&D CF Hoods for RCF.

Its headlight tint I got from Vivid vinyl.
I will tell you that it was sorta a steep learning curve initially.
Had to figure out how to work the film & heat it & trim it so there's no bubbles or sloppy edges.
Recommend getting 3x more than what you think you need.
Stuff isn't expensive which helps.
