They do look sweet. But i think it was willow who bought a set and said as soon as it rained they were full of water.

Cant be bothered with the hassel. I'm quiet borde of spending ages fixing things on my car now. From now on anything i put on has to be good quality and just go straight on. Besides, if they dont work, then it'll be Ԛ£100 down the drain. That money could go towards my big brake conversion

Ben- on that pic i darkened the crystal part of the light. if you can remember i did two pics. one with the crystal lights and one with the crystal clear bit a darker shade. that is the one above. Personally i think it did not look better than the lights you have with the normal shade, but the darker shade ones look pukka.

I'm just going to get some red ones now. I think the smoked looks out of place cause it's the only smoked thing on the whole car.

Donnie the smoked ones stand out so much because ther's no other smoked bits on my car. At leats the red will match the body colour in a way and make them look more subtle rather than in your face like they are at the moment.

Yeah Booty I definitly hear what your saying, just that pic of of the back of your car looks wicked with those tails, but as you say it's the only smoked bits on your car and I think your car as in a whole would look more subtle and "preportional" with the crystals

Just spoke to Roy at CA automotive. They are around Ԛ£265 for the red ones. There's no way i'm paying that much for a set of lights. Especially as i paid similar money for the smoked ones on there now. Looks like it's fleabay for me now

Unfortunately a few of my friends drive Saxos etc and many of them have the 'Lexus' clear rear clusters. EVERY one of them has had a gap round the cluster, I dunno how it would look on the red ones but clear silicon sealant solves the problem on the clear ones. In saying that as your car is a show car 'silky' might not be a high enough standard of job. You could dismantle the cluster and dremel the cover to get it to mate properly but as you say, is it really worth the effort..
