Not as offensive as the clear / red version (or indeed most aftermarket cr@p), but I'm afraid that's about as positive as I'm gonna get! :)

theyre probably the nicest aftermarket lights you can get....


but they still look cheap and nasty.

i'm not a 'standard is best' person, but in this case it is. standard, or all red standard lights suit these cars better than anything made by a 3rd party imho
cheers,

Rushy dude, you try subtle changes and got to say the single blade tech 2 spoiler suited your car and so do these lights..not bad for aftermarket! :cool:

I think All Red maybe the way forward...

They look fine mate!

These are the ones of Ebay with the top half tinted....does actually look okay.

Would rather do the red indicator jobby or just tint the normal rear lights with a couple of coats of black tint.

And btw a very nice example of a Lachs Silver Sport....I like!

i think they look ok but would suit a darker car more perhaps. imo the best ones for a light coloured car like yours is the same lights but with the clear top half. i used to have a set on my touring but changed them back after suffering from leaking seals around them that i just could not get to seal properly.

i think they suit a light or red coloured car better than the smoked/red combo ,that works better on darker cars imo.
