i have clear front indicators to go with my clear side repeaters, but i have been wondering about what options i have for the rear lights on my lachs silber touring.
i dont like the lexus style lights, but what about clear rear lights or red lights? anyone got any pics?
also, do 2 or 4 door lights fit my touring?

Touring lights are the same as facelift saloons.
I have a spare set if you want to make a red set up. There is an article in the wiki on how to do it -

and basically how they will look (except you car will be silver and have a rear taligate!!)
many have problems with all red as UK law says indicators should flash orange, and there is no way to paint all red but get orange flashing (folk will say use a green bulb but this does NOT work)
alternative is use the reverse lights with orange bulbs for the indicators, UK MOT does not require a reverse light IIRC, or have a look at a E34 or E39 reverse light, see how it appears red but is not when lit, copy this pattern on your indicator lens to look red and flash orange.
(or move to a country where they dont care what colour your indiactors are!!)
